- So with Yaesu Japan releasing the news of the FT-710 for the Japaneses market there was some confusion to what the U.S. version would be. The next day Yaesu USA released their info on the U.S. version. In this video I try to clear up some of the confusion and show the little we know for sure is included in this new radio.

#Yaesu, #FT-710, #Ham Radio
I bought this radio about a month ago (Jan 24). I LOVE it! I'm new to HF and come from a borrowed Kenwood TS 570 D. I constantly had bad audio reports with all kinds of suggestions on how to fix it. I decided I wasn't going to spend bunches of $$$ to fix a borrowed radio and decided on the FT-710 AESS after watching dozens (at least!) of videos on various radios. I have gotten nothing but raves about my audio since buying the 710. While some old-time hams call this an "entry-level" radio, it's complicated as hell for this HF newbie. But using it every day, I'm becoming more proficient in its use. I'm understanding more about all the settings and controls. 😀
Your comment sold me. Cheers!
The YEASU FT-710 AESS does come with the speaker over here in the UK 😁 it is included in the price. for the rest of the negative comments i aint interestd. thank you from a YEASU fan. 😉
I am looking forward to the radio coming out.
Great video man. Thanks for the information
Thank you for the information I wasn't sure between the FT 710 and the 991a now this makes a lot of sense. also thank you for your service as a fire fighter, God Bless.
at last man who calmly says it as it is thank you from england
Love the performance of the DX10, but does not fit in 2U rack space like the 991 does. So if you think you may use it in a go-box, you will need to take the size into consideration.
Yaesu is missing out on the QRP portable market. The FT818 is a great radio, but unless you can find a CW filter you'll find yourself sometimes hearing 4-5 different CW QSOs going on at once. I'm a bit surprised they haven't capitalized on the POTA/SOTA explosion. The Russians and Chinese have great small form QRP radios in the TX-500 and X6100 that have a ton of features that the 818 lacks, such as a DSP.
Richard, I think there is something coming in that market soon from Yaesu. Thanks for the comment
Thank you. I'm still holding out hope for an upgraded 991a and the 818. This radio is a good first step though. If they made a Shack in the Box that operated at 25 watts, they'd annialate everything else in the market. Small enough to do portable, powerful enough to reach worldwide but yet isn't as power hungry as a 100 watt rig. That would be my dream radio. I've done some good things with my Xiegu G-90 so I'm sure a Yeasu would be much better. Can't wait to see what unfolds next
Walter I kind of have the ear of some yaesu people and have said pretty much the same to them, thanks for the comment!
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures Thank you. I love the form factor of the 818 but it needs to be modernized. I can even do without the waterfall, just get it up to 10 to 15 watts and modernize the battery and charging system and in good. With the 991a, just bring it up to this new radio standards, because I want more power on 2m and 70 cm so I can participate in more nets in my area.. and for both of them, I love to listen to broadcast AM WFM and SW channels because I enjoyed that part .
25 watts would be excellent. The military figured that out long ago, but the ham manufacturers are stuck on 10 and 100 watts due to the regulations and specsmanship. de w6akb
@@walteredwards544 Yaesu will end up scrapping the 818. The design is 20 years old. You can’t even get CW filters for it.
All the Yaesu radios need a 10:1 tuner.
@@user-ss6zt2mo1l Strange. I believe my Xiegu G-90 has a 10:1 tuner and a real time SWR Scope
Look's like it's made to go head to head with the IC-7300 even though Yaesu is about 6 years late in doing it. And they haven't even made a replacement for the FT=857D which is used by everyone from pilots to missionaries due to it's compact size and shack in the box capability. Curious to see if the FT-710 will have CW decode like the FTDX-10. I haven't upgrade from my old FT-2000 as it works just as good as the newer radios and it has 2 key jacks so I can switch from the BUG to PADDLES instantly without wasting five minutes of hunting for it in the menu to switch it. My guess is the price point will probably be around $1,200.00 dollars as a new FTDX-10 is selling for about $1,400.00 every where.
I love my 710
Can’t wait to see the price point
Yea Nick it should be interesting, be nice if under 1K
US$999.95 has been mentioned (ref Gigaparts, but not yet available of course). So I guess that would be considered "nice", by five whole cents.
Dual superhet and sdr=hybrid.
Sdr is not something I want anymore. Thanks for sharing John’s speculation video about people speculating 🤔
It looks great but not in my budget so it doesn't matter what it has in it to me. Lol :)
HDMI connector requires a royalty patment DVI does not. It's a matter of cost
Hi Yaesu, I’m confused 😩
I want to see Yaesu bring back an upgraded version of the FT-857D. I love my 857 but I would love to have Fusion on it. The 991A won't fit in my Toyota Tacoma.
If there is a company appearing to exit ham radio it would be kenwood
Right, I totally agree.
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures No kenwood at Dayton Hamvention but tentec was there and they dont txcvr for sale
A friend knows a high-up at Kenwood and was told they are seriously considering EXITING the consumer market. Sorry, had to edit it. Left out that key word. :(
@@n1rbd I wpould really like to talk to your friends contact at Kenwood, maybe he could contact me?
Only problem w/ the DVI connector is most monitors no longer come with one. I would be curious as to the resolution that it output, though... Some of the other radios w/ monitor outputs put out a relatively low resoluiton.
You can easily use a cable with HDMI on one side and DVI on the other.
@@C4H6As ... And burn up the circuit board by buying a random one as has happened to countless FTDX-10 models which use the same circuitry. I suggest you read the forums especially GROUPS IO on the problems with the HDMI cables and the FTDX-10.
The HDMI port is proprietary and attracts a fee per unit. I forget the cost, but there is an initial big dump of USD to include it in a production line, then there is a fee per radio that has them fitted. DVI port is free for use. But yes, other rigs, computers, TV's etc are including them, so radio manufacturers should also pony up, pay and include them. I'm sure a ham won't mind paying an extra 50 bucks for an HDMI connector
$50 for a port vs $10 for a DVI to HDMI cable. Somehow the economics say Yaesu chose correctly.

pricing i have seen is similar as the dx10. So don't understand why they come out with this radio, as it is spec wise almost the same.
Regarding the "lack" of an HDMI display output ---- I'm pretty sure that you can buy a passive cable (nothing but wires) with a DVI-D connector at one end, and an HDMI connector at the other end. In other words, with a $10 cable the radio would connect straight into any monitor or TV that has an HDMI input. Please feel free to correct me if I'm mixed up. I mention this because I see so many people gnashing their teeth in anguish that it doesn't come with an HDMI output for the external display.
I have used a cable like that for a while from the DVI on my computer to an HDMI on the monitor with no issues. The main difference is the DVI does not have audio that an HDMI does.
Now, its time for an Icom to release something new....maybe IC 7310

They are basically making the 7300 its the same features and size but what i see is the future of Yaesu radios using SDR , Shack in the box qrp and 100 watt will follow eventually.
So do they make a DVI to Hdmi or should we stick HDMI to vga?
The 710 is pure SDR, no Hetrodyne Hybrid Front End That the 101 or DX-10 have.
Why would I buy this radio over a dx10 or a 991A? Do we need yet another HF radio from Yaesu? I don't think so. If it was a 991A replacement then yes, maybe but it doesn't have 2M or 70cm.
Why FT-710 hasn't VHF, UHF bands? Yaesu FT-991A has HF, VHF and UHF bands. And is cheap.
It could come with an HDMI plug-in,but Yaesu is too cheap to pay the royalties of HDMI copy right and trade marks for HDMI.
Yea just like Icom and other manufatures, I think Elecraft does HDMI.
FT710 is SDR and no sdr hybride as FTDX10 and FTDX101.
Hey Diabolo, Yea not sure they say this on their web site "The new FT-710 AESS is a compact design yet provides 100W output, utilizing the advanced digital RF technology introduced in the FTDX101 and FTDX10 series"
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures Hello. With the FT710 you won't get a 30% discounted FTDX10. The FT710 reception part is like that of IC7300 and not like the FTDX hybrid SDR series, otherwise what is the point of "killing" the FTDX10 from Yaesu? The FT710 is Yaesu's answer to the entry-level IC7300 with antenna input directly on an FPGA after band input filters. I could be wrong, but Yaesu says SDR with HRDDS Yaesu technology for received signal processing: DNR, Contour, Notch, etc... Regards
All Elecraft rigs have a 10:1 internal tuner. I moved form a 12 year old K3 to a DX10. I love the DX10 but the K3 tuner was wayyyy better. Japanese never did a great job on internal tuners.
If you've got a 10:1 SWR you may as well go outside and yell cq!!!
Not all mode ? Yup, it is. ( AM, FM, SSB, RTTY/FSK, etc. ) It is NOT an all band ( 2m/440/1.2Ghz )
No receive ant port
The question is… must wait for it or buy the 7300?
Wait for it!
I’m guessing it will be $1499
That would be more than the FTDX10 I hope not! Thanks for watching.
Just picked one new for $899, $600 less than your guess
It would be unprofitable to include HDMI. HDMI is more expensive and more important, it can pass audio, which means you don't need to buy their speaker for good audio.
in the big scheme of things the licensing for hdmi is about 12 cents per hdmi. Id be willing to pay an extra 20 dollars for an hdmi.
the ftdxx10 replaced the 3000? really? I would rather have the 3000. It has dual antenna and receive antenna ftdx10 has one antenna port.
DVI to HDMI convertor are inexpensive.
They're more "adapters" than converters, as it's just wires. There's no video conversion going on, just a connector adapter.
Not nitpicking, just clarifying as so many people don't know. You might leave them with a vision of a converter gadget needing an external power supply.
Best solution is actually a $10 cable with DVI at one end and HDMI at the other. Simple and cheap.
Amazon Basics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable, Black, 6 Feet, 1-Pack, presently US$5.99. You just plug it in at both ends. So stop complaining. Geesh... ;-) !!
Until Yaesu comes out with a true SDR direct sampling transceiver, with an improved menu structure, they'll still be a step behind Icom.
Crap😅
So this radio is basically WORTHLESS!
No speaker and no monitor included, so it really is WORTHLESS!
It has a screen and internal speaker just all new radios and an internal tuner.
The speaker ist in c luded
Elecraft tuners are 10:1, the standalone and in all radios and amplifiers, as far as I can tell, both from experience with a few of them and their advertising material. Hi Chuck! de w6akb.
Hi Alan, I knew the kz2 and 3 had 10:1 not sure with their base radios. How have you been?
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures Doing well, thanks. Back from Field Day in the mountains. Got the K4 working on WSJTX with a Pi400 here today. I haven't tested the K3 and K4 tuners at high SWR, but I definitely have with the KAT500, even at 500 watts. If I recall correctly they say it will do a KW at 3:1 and 500W+ at 10:1. Of course we try to have antennas well below 10:1 but it is nice to have some reserve when the space for a full size antenna is not available. With a 3:1 tuner you often run into frequencies that won't tune, that happens a lot less often with a 10:1 tuner. The Elecraft tuners are somewhat similar in design to the LDG tuners though Elecraft claims some extra magic is added to theirs. :) de w6akb
