Howard:
I tried using the paddle up-side-down, but found it to be rather unweildy.
So, for the time being, I took an old MFJ paddle that I had and reversed the
leads. In the long run, I'm going to make an adapter as others have
suggested, so that I can use my Bencher either normally on the 590, or in
reverse on the 570.
I just have to find the time to do it.
Thanks to all for the great suggestions on this interesting little problem.
