Glad you guys are getting your 4 meter band. I’m almost certain that Yaesu has ignored our continued requests for 1.25 meter (220) band for USA version radios.
@@ThinKkBIGG That's what would make sense and look perfect on the shark desk. Just use the FTD X10 chassis make it cover 2 m 70 cm and whatever else you need.
Yes, I’d like a 100 watt version of this new release and a 9700 competitor… we do have the 710, as wonderful as it is, a follow on to the 7300… hmm, does all that show Yaesu are playing catch-up?
This looks very interesting, I’ve held off getting the IC705 to replace my 20+ year old FT817 to see what Yaesu would eventually replace that model with.
I love my 705. It has WiFi, so I can control it remotely via SDR-Control (with built in digital modes). I use my bluetooth earphones when I'm in noisy environment. The battery lasts for hours on SSB, and I can charge it via USB. If I want, I can monitor the temp of the radio, but my 705 has never been close to the redline, not even when doing FT8. So I am not getting on the ftx-1f hype train just yet.
Well, for those calculations about battery life, quite often the receive means that the radio's speaker is working, and the stand-by often means that the receiver is squelched, which is not all that common on SSB...
Thank you for the update. As a die-hard QRP op, I'm looking forward to the release date. Currently, I'm using the IC-705 as the portable radio and the FT-710 as the base radio, and I must admit that the FT-710 performs very well. Definitely, I'm placing the pre-order. I'm sure it will be less expensive than the FT-710 ether version. It's time to place the IC-705 on the market, I guess. Many 73,s de M7SZY.
I guess I'm out of that loop: As of September 2014, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) denied a petition to create a 4-meter band in the United States. I'm guessing they have been paid off by the big corp Telecoms.
Hi Peter, I won't be buying the new Yaesu radio. I am very happy with my Icom 705. On the battery I get over 2 hours run time on FT8 with 5 watts. Besides a lot of my friends have brought new Yaesu radio's and have broken down in the first month or so. My own FTDX10 malfunctioned within 3 months and it had to go back for repair. Still it nice we are getting some new models. Although I think they should start making some sub 600 pounds radio for hf to add a little extra choice. All the best David M0DUU
Another new rig - 😵💫 Jazus - There's nearly a new rig for every day of the week nowadays. Where will it all end? Probably in an empty wallet or divorce! 🥸 Nifty looing rig.

I still have my fingers crossed for an IC9700 competitor from Yaesu.
FTDX-10 with VHF/UHF and satelite...

That kenwood looks blooming awful. Ftdx1f should've been 100w,think they missed a trick there

@@andy2E0JIU I think you've missed the point there.
Great to see a radio that compliments the range from Yaesu, I agree that low power operating can bring a lot of fun.

You just have to wait a little longer for the radio!
If it had 100W, they would sell the whole wagon

Yes there is a lot se don’t know yet.
Hi Pete , looks very interesting very complex rig, great information 73s mark G8rde
Thanks 👍

Yes have no idea what they actually mean.
Yes good news about the inclusion of 4M, but 20W on external power supply would have been much more desirable.

Yes I am going to get one myself.
I can't see it being cheaper than the FT-710, I'd be surprised if it's less than £1200.

Thank You Peter for the update! 73
I'm listening to FM broadcast on my 818 right now. I hope it can do that. I wonder if it was worth the few cents for the extra chip! ? :D
So 4m was also confirmed for the IC705 👀
With the current trend with Propagation I'll be surprised if many will be buying new rigs at the moment?
What! With F layer due to hit high spots in the Autumn and sporadic E already showing itself on 4m and VK at S9 plus last night!
@@watersstanton Just kidding.... 🤣🤣🤣
Im thinking it will be a similar proce point to the ic705 ? Maybe touch less to be competitive??.
Maybe a clip on linear like the old 290/790???
What about the 690?
WiFi enabled would be great

Nifty looing rig.
Any idea on the retail price?
I said in the Video there is no price info yet.
Is this new rig fully Duplex?
I believe so but we need to wait for full published info.
@@watersstanton Do it may be an option for Sat work then. Interesting.
0:28 Shortcut to music
0:35 Shortcut to after the music
Please, does anyone know the battery capacity?
5670mAh
Thanks, it was mentioned later in the video! Cheers again.
Thank you for all your videos and I have the ftdx10 and you have helped me a lot kk4ekk USA
Great to hear!
Many thanks for the review 👍
Looking forward for news
