If you want something quick to test raw functions of Hamlib, you might
want to try "rigctl -vvvv -m 204" included in Hamlib (latest cvs version).
As a matter of coincidence, the TS-570D capabilities were just entered
last week, but it need some tests! 
Make sure your rig is setup to 57600 bps, or pass "--serial-speed xxx" to
rigctl.
Once the backend of your rig works fine, any application using Hamlib will
work with your rig!

Also, check with Robert or Alexandru if you're looking for a GUI.

BTW, what are you interrested in Hamlib?  Control a rig relocated in the
attic, doppler compensation, or just playing with fun stuff?

Note: Hamlib is supposed to be portable, and should work under Win32 using
cygwin. Anyone interested?
