YAESU FT-710

Amazing radio. Thanks for all the very informative videos you’ve posted for it. Can’t wait to get mine 😊

This is one lovely radio. I got one for myself and it is so much more convenient than my venerable Kenwood 480SAT

Great overview. Sure beats reading a manual, though it is a necessary evil with something as complex as this. Just bought one from R&L here in the Colonies. Looking forward to using it by Wednesday or Thursday next week.

I just purchased one back in June and I love this radio, I am so glad I didn't buy the Icom 7300. This 710 is so easy to operate don't even need the Manuel . I wish Yaesu would make the 991A like this 710. I need an all mode all band radio 991A but I don't like the 991a display. I had another ham operator who checked my 710 out and he said it sounded good clearer receive audio than his 7300.

I like that they put the volume knob in the lower right hand corner on the 710….I wish the DX 10 was the same way

[davidberry]

Wow that radio looks amazing and the people on there talking sound amazing on the standard speaker to me. I want one gotta start savingthe pennies

[WTJM]

Nice summary! I've had the FTdx-10 and still have the FT-891 but my sights are on the -710. Cheers

7:22. I don’t know. I appreciate your honesty! Most YT hosts try to appear as if they know everything about their radios.

I see many reviews of the FT 991A versus the ICOM 7300. Unfortunately it is a case of apples 🍎 and oranges 🍊. The people that buy the FT 991A pay a premium to get excellent performance on 50 MHz, 144 MHz and 432 MHz Bands. The ICOM 7300 is an excellent entry-level HF radio and the FT 991a is for vhf/uhf and microwave transverter users and you pay almost double the price. Many of my friends own both.

[austieoutdoors]

yes im thinking of getting one but i already have two radios how much did you pay from martins L if you want the speaker aswell and do you pay post aswell or is that free

[Chriswilliams-lxmx]

Toying with they idea of getting a second radio as my yaesu ft 840 is getting on, never get shut of it though, is the dx 10 worth 480 quid more than the 710, you got a great channel by the way all the best 👍

I have the FTDX10 and love it for my shack. I have the 891 for portable. I was thinking about getting a 991A for portable because it does HF and VHF/UHF. I would like to try 2ssb but I also have an 818 and never use it on VHF. The 710 looks awesome though and the menus are set up like the DX10 which is a plus.

So how did you get on setting Mic Gain and the Proc, the meter swings all over the place.

[Digaroo]

Which do you prefer the icon 7300 or Yaesu ft710 if you could only have one?

[swanny]

to tune you on the 710 you need to have a good match already its like a top up tuner i use an external on with the ftdx10, but if the swr is to far out it wont tune. Best use an eternal tuner

[ajones]

WOW ! How would you compare the Yaesu FT-710 with the ICOM 7300

[robduncan]

Is it possible to do a long comprehensive overview on the RF control? You just turned up and down at super fast speed . Can you adjust the noise with the RF on a noisy band like your 991a ? A side by side comparison on top band fine adjustments on the rf control is what sorts out the wheat from the chaff? My ic 7300 is a good all round rig, except for the rf control which is a simple att and is pathetic, yes my ic 7300 rf control is junk . So if it's possible to give us an insight to the working of the rf control on noisy low bands that would be Great . Tks .

[swot_girl]

Hi Andreas is the 710 better on receive than the 991A especially on noisy band like 80m at night

[Larry-AKZ]

If nothing happens when you press the tune button, the antenna is already a good match.
