I like the incremental tuning knob on the Icom’s. As the VFO will speed up depending how fast I am spinning the VFO knob so I can scroll across the band very quickly! Plus being able to change the colors on the waterfall to custom colors (RGB) and it’s sensitivity is really nice! 73
The IC-7300 can do the same tuning tricks and some extra. If you have a recent firmware on the IC-7300 you can use the Multi knob to tune 1Khz steps (and the Mic up/down) buttons also work. It's also possible to make the main knob do 1Khz steps which I leave on most times and then quickly go to fine tune if needed. Also the IC-7300 has acceleration on the big knob which means if you turn fast it moves faster steps too. Another trick is it can do continuous scroll the waterfall even outside the bands which is very nice (it beeps when you go out of band). I played with a FTDX10 but I don't like how they operate, I have the same issues with the Ft991a. I went from a FT950 & FT857d to an IC-7300.
I have the FT-710 and the IC-705. The 705's band changing scheme is the same as the IC-7300. The Icom has a bid advantage over the 710 when going through the band stacking registers. On the Icom, I set band stacking register #1 as CW, #2 and #3 as SSB. When I got to 40 meters and want to start out on CW using BSR #1, I push and hold the 7 mhz icon until all three BSR's show up on the screen. I then pick #1 that is ready to go for CW. With the FT-710, I have to cycle through the BSR's until I get to BSR #1. Since that is most annoying, I turned off he BSR feature and just go to what band I want. I then use the mouse to change from one mode to the other. Both radios have their fine points and both have their weak points. I did a lot of research before I settled on the FT-710 Field. I think I made the right choice for my needs. I actually purchased mine to be used in a POTA activation. But I like it so much I use it in the primary station most of the time. Barry, KU3X
Yes, somewhat. In the menu, you can select tuning step size of 5/10/20 hz. Then you can select the number of tuning steps per revolution of 50/100/200 steps...... I have mine set for 20 hz step size and 200 steps per revolution. So that (1) full VFO knob turn, will change tuning frequency by 4,000 hz.
Tap the screen on the killohertz #'s and the big knob will do 1 kc at a time on the 710. I also am 5 years on icom and since they came out on the 710 and I find the tx and rx audio much better on the 710, much simpler on the 7300. The big deal for me is the filters on the 710 during the noisey bands in the summer are much more capable of nulling out the static
The video is out of focus, the camera shakes, you are making math errors and all of this is in the first 6 min. You are in serious need of planning. bye

You can adjust the pop up screen time on the Yaesu FT710 in the menus.
You can adjust the amount of one rotation of the VFO, on the 710.

@@hemihead Copy that.
Nothing can beat the 7300❤
Yeah nothing quite like a noisy 7300
True, 7300 is best.
@@miker8379 i added BHI DSP to mine and it’s much better than Icom’s NR
Dx10 beats a 7300 all-day long…ask Sherwood!!!

I don't think he read the manual and even knows you can adjust it 1kc. 😂
Posición de NR en icom 7300? Se escucha muy bien. Gracias por el vídeo. Un like para tí. 👍
