I know this is a year old, however this was a great help (just got this radio about 3 months ago) and I am trying to "dial" everything in. The "parametric" and "p parametric" appears to be one of the hottest topics here on RUclips. Thanks again for making this video, John!! BTW, great name... -73 KQ4KIO
Thanks for the great video. I currently have a Yaesu FT DX 1200 and I use the contour function the same way. Contour function is amazing. As soon as I can sell my Yaesu FT DX 1200 I'll be getting a 710. I've been looking at this radio for a year now and I definitely want one. 73 👍🙂
The 10 and 710 are in a different class than previous radios. Use RF gain, contour correctly with slow AGC and there's virtually no background static. Good job on showing how you can change the contour settings. That really matters. Turns it into a preamp without any static increase. Same thing on the 891.
Great informative video. So many hams just don't understand how to use and when to use the RF Gain Control. Even Yaesu has no clue. From the factory, my FT-991A came through with both pre amps on for every band. Yes, even 160 meters where you would never use a pre amp and surely cut back on the RF Gain. DUH ! Thanks for posting, nice job. Barry, KU3X
You will love the radio, I just made a video on my favorite mic with the radio. A cheap Sennheiser XS 1 which cost 39.95. It sounds outstanding with the 710... Have fun!

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. My FT-710 will be here tomorrow. Looking forward to getting it set up properly and on the air.
You explained these settings excellent thank you
Very helpful. I got my 710 only 2 weeks ago so still learning.

I use a Contour of -6 at 900 Hz to reduce people's sibilance. Nice feature!
Thanks for share.... excellent explanation
Thank you for your help!!
Good video and info
How can I connect an internal console with an amplifier and microphone via a computer to the yaesu ft 710 for a microphone??
Sorry, I have never tried that
That was really useful. 73 de KN6ZVI
I don't hear any changes.
