It’s a very nice feature and I do wish they could include your amp and tuner with the same thing. Note the cell service has been doing this for years with the amp.

Now you're making me to see what this is! Haha. I'm not seeing a firmware update on their webpage. Hope you had awonderful Christmas.

Check the link in the description. I just updated it. Use at your own risk. It's from the Japan site.

I've heard that v1.40 has problems with IQ through the USB2 port.

[@HamRadio200]

I am not aware of that because I do not use that port.

What does DPD improve ?

[@palmettohorn]

Don't just like the post, answer the question. Thx.

Less splatter, cleaner signal from your transmitted signal.

Hi,good video, but what advantage is this feature, and how can it help me with the Acom 1500 amplifier, 73s from Rotterdam.

[@HamRadio200]

The 7610 has great audio without this feature. In some cases though there can be distortion and this will help smooth that out to make the signal the clearest possible before your amplifier. 73s.

@@HamRadio200 thanks 73s from Rotterdam,

[@timdbl7804]

I presume that this feature is to improve transmit intermods, to make them better than about -30dBc. I'm not sure that would make a discernable difference to the tx audio; I think the intention is to reduce intermod products outside the nominal tx passband so that interference, with freqeuncy-adjacent stations, is markedly reduced. But I would be interested to know whether I am correct. I wonder what the v1.40 firmware notes have to say about this?

[@afdl62]

I thought this was not available to the US yet.

[@HamRadio200]

With the link in the description you can download it from the Global/Japan site. Thanks for watching.
