I just bought one, it arrives tomorrow. It’s my 4th Yaesu radio. It’s far superior to the 7300 at a lesser price.
I got my 710 mainly because of the price and the receiver sensitivity. It was on deep sale at Ham radio outlet for 9444 for the AES version. I highly recommend the extra speaker even though it's an extra hundred bucks. Or you could almost put any other speaker you like there, but it needs the extra speaker. I was looking at the 9918 I figured out that it's better to have separate radios for different bands.
bought it and didn't regret, explendid radio.
icom in japan have ic 7300 ic 7300m 50w and ic7300s 10w
I can promise you that my stream tech last night was 100% worse than Chris's internet!!
dx commander id like you to do a reveiw on thease radios !?
I’ll be a sucker for one… a competitor for the 7300? Gee, an all band, all mode replacement for the 857 would have excited me more! Still, for mine, my FTDX 10 is mildly an ergonomic fail with the location of the band button and no back-lit buttons.
I liked your chat, obviously unlike a couple of comments here… loved your response to them!
Thanks for this video, Hayden!
73, VK3ACZ
Thanks Peter.
I think in time we'll see an all mode replacement for the 857, would be good. Yes, some people just need to spread negativity or troll... can't help themselves!
Ft-991A
It will be a best seller.
The percentage is backwards. 77% will buy one. The 710 has a higher EHAM rating than the FTdx10. I had the 10, sold it & then bought the 710. The 710 is a keeper and best value out there today.
I bought one... Love it..
I want one but price will be factor. Want the 100 watt version personally. The ones in Japan are three versions.. 10, 50, and 100 but..that has to do with limits in power for certain licenses and locations..
My FT-710 arrives tomorrow. Can't wait to fire it up. Price was right too.
I would like to try the FT-710 compared to my FT-2000 of which has been a great radio
I like the button layout of the 710 more than the layout on the FTDX10. But I'm happy with the DX10.
I agree with you there. The layout of the rig looks nice
Buttons should be backlit just like in the 991A.
They wasted a lot of area for 4 knobs
I bought one and it's a great radio better than the ic 7300
Many people asking "why a new Yaesu FT710 radio?". But this really is a no brainer, why is this so hard to see? This is more than brilliant marketing from Yaesu. The FT710 is the successor for the FT991-A, that is, partly. The other part is coming little later after the FT710 has been released. It will be maybe the FT810 ( same form, same size of course; placing them nicely side by side together) and is housing a 2 m band radio; a 70 cm band radio and a 23 cm radio. All in one, just like Icom did with the IC7300 and the IC9700 shortly thereafter. Each radio pricing $999,- buying both sets you back just under $1999,- making Yaesu about $700,- more than the FT991-A costs. Just brilliant (!) Other than this; utterly pointless video !
@@adrianfewster8391 Dear Adrian. I wasn't stating that the FT710 was a replacement for the FT991-A. Better learn to read my man, so....read again ;-)
@@jara2546 But this really is a no brainer, why is this so hard to see?
Wait till Sherwood tests it
There isn't such a thing as a USB-A-to-USB-A cable. That is why printers have USB-B cables; you connect the A side on the PC and the B side on the peripheral. In this case, the radio is the peripheral to the PC, so it gets a USB-B port. The USB-A port on the radio is for things that will be peripheral to the radio - such as a mouse for navigating the UI. It's all about USB standards.
This is incorrect. USB-A to A cables do exist.
au.rs-online.com/web/p/usb-cables/1863052
@@HamRadioDX Yes, but they aren't kosher. The USB spec originally defined type A and type B differently purposely so that it would not be possible to accidentally connect two power sources together. The ubiquity of USB connectors has seen some corruption of the original intent so yes there are actually cables like this around, but a cursory glance at the wikipedia page shows that USB-A to USB-A cables are flagged "proprietary, hazardous". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_hardware#USB_On-The-Go_connectors That is why I said they don't "really" exist. They do, but they shouldn't. And that is why the manufacturer of these radios has clearly decided that the professional thing to do is to adhere to the USB specification.
Well actually I didn't say the don't "really" exist, looking back at what I originally wrote - I said "there isn't such a thing" and I'll stand by that statement for the same reason - they are non-standard deviations from the spec. They *exist* because people have made them, but they aren't "USB" cables.
@@HamRadioDX He was correct ^_^
I have one on pre-order to replace my IC-7300. Reason? External monitor DVI-D, and Yaesu's 60dB of mic preamp gain (icom only provides about 40 dB of mic gain).
My mind keeps saying - WHY??? why not a competitor to the IC-705/TX500/X6100/KX2/3 - or an updated FT-857D/FT-818 - why another FT991 upgrade/clone?? what is the market they are trying to address here? However as always - understand what YOU want in a radio and then get the one that ticks the most boxes for YOU. My list will be different to yours and my list doesn't give this a lot of ticks
should you really meantion the X6100..? it's on no way one you should put in the list
DVI connectors can be secured in place, which is an advantage over HDMI
Japan has had regs on power output for over 40 years, Yaesu and Kenwood made 100w and 10 watt radios, TS140 or TS140S etc, the SP40 speaker is included
The different models of 710 are japan and other different country requirements.
Yes, this has been the situation all the time that commercial ham radio equipment exists, and it actually surprises me that they are surprised by that.
The whole "I am allowed 10W but just give me the 100W radio I will set it to 10W, honestly!" may work in Australia (as it does here in the Netherlands) but we all know that many of the novice stations will just set it to 100W to work that rare station.
So it depends on the legislation if you want to allow that or not. In some countries it is just not allowed, and manufacturers have different models to cater for that market. Have had these all the time. Look for M versions of popular radios, many of them exist.
It likely isn't a software option either, but rather a different amplifier with different transistors (in VHF/UHF radios it is a different amplifier hybrid).
Type A is for the Keyboard or mouse. The FTDX-10 has that.
hdmi would be nice but the usb ports are the biggest plus
Regarding the conversation about the HDMI connector. I think the radio runner and his opinion is why they think they can get away with it. HDMI has been the standard for 15 years and for him to say oh well it's more expensive or licencing issues is the reason they are okay with it. It's clearly laughable that a 30 dollar raspberry pie has a more capable display output than a 1200 dollar radio with compute components.
there is no reason, none, zich to have a HDMI or DP connector for the signals bening carried.
Yaesu does not put 1 kW LDMOS in this rig eiether of a different LDMOS has the needed specs.
So why doesn't an iPhone have an HDMI output? Not even a micro HDMI? And an iPhone can cost more than this radio .
Greetings to "down under", Hayden. Mike
G'day Mike! Thanks for stopping by!
Your analogy of speed limiting your motorcycle of course actually happens - in many parts of VK you are limited in the motorcycle and car you can use as a beginner rider/ driver. The same used to occur here when novices were limited to. 30W. The same in J land but I understand they kept the rule when we dropped it here. Probably a mistake it would have insulated all the F calls that have got grief for ‘running power’ by using higher power rigs turned down (some didn’t quite know how to do this to the required level).
To qualify for the HDMI licence the hardware has to have a minimum spec for it's output signal HDMI 1.4b at 720p
HDMI has audio...the dvi is just a video signal...no probs there...it's a good solid standard...next.
the other versions are for the Japanese market only where licenses have access to limited power according to their class.
A CARRY HANDLE!!!!!!
Hi ,Me -I do believe it is that there are so many ham in a small area as I do understand there are many !!
Those extra models are for the Japanese market because of their licensing structure.
The DVI connector has to do with licensing. Also, the output is just a copy of what's on screen. Same resolution and aspect ratio.
The description I read is Advertising it as 100w on ebay
I have a FTDX10…I’m not going consider this. I would like to see a 705 competitor in a true successor to the ft-817. Using their hybrid SDR architecture. Just to me it looks like a cut down dx10
Me too.
I think HDMI connectors are very flimsy
Going to buy a FT-DX10 . FT-DX10 is a better radio. 800X480 is the same rez as the radio 5" screen. 800x480 look perfect on a a 1080p pc monitor and keeps thing from being to small on screen like when using mouse. of course the FT-dx10 is better than the ic-730, FT-DX10 is 5 years newer technology.
Y, I, K, and A need to come up with good 100m HF/6m mobile package.
FT-891.
Has anyone here actually tried the FT-710 with a DVI to HDMI adapter? I recently had a problem with a computer that had only DVI video ports and it wouldn't work with a DVI to HDMI adapter on my new monitor. The problem was that the computer video board required a DVI license or it would shut down. I finally solved the problem by leaving the old worn-out monitor connected to one DVI port and the new monitor to the other DVI port. That made the video board work because it could access the license. But if I disconnected the old monitor even after the computer was fully booted up, the video would turn off immediately. So has anyone actually tried the FT-710 with a DVI adapter? I would like to know before I purchase the Yaesu.
7610 is a archive with specs worse then the 705. Screen failures and a 3k transmit bandwidth who would buy that turd, when the 101d has so much more to offer.
7610 did have some display issues -- fixed free. It outperforms the 705. ICOMs have fixed max TX BW (like all rigs should)
I just hope they do a 3k similar rig with ftdx10 x2 ☺️2 rxs with 3 antenna inputs and a vc tune on one with capability to open the transmit bandwidth to 4K
transmit BW -- you know you shoudl only use whatever is needed to make the conversation going/ 4K is way too wide. It should in fact get your license be revoked if I were the law/rulemaker. If you want some fidelity -- use AM or FM.
@@RoelandJansen I highly disagree plenty of room on 160 & 80 m for 4K audio and thankfully our rules don’t say that 😳even am Cb has 4K bandwidth 🙄
HDMI has a license cost, 15 000 USD / model. So might not be "worth it" for models that do not sell in masses
Totally, Yaesu lost an oppertunity again....they need a new FT847 or something to compete with 9700... they need to speak to the Ham Radio community.
A 100W all mode, all band satellite capable SDR radio!! Imagine 😍
@@HamRadioDX Yes!
ICOM have the separate 7300 and 9700 as well.... maybe there will be a VHF/UHF version of this radio in the future?
Lost opportunity how? It’s a direct competitor to the IC-7300. $2-300 cheaper than the IC-7300, 2 years more warranty than the 7300… 20 or so positions higher on the Sherwood list for receive capability (4th overall)… plug and play directly to a monitor for display with mouse and keyboard USB… etc etc etc
As for the internal tuner, I'd bet it's no better than 3:1. my 101MP has a good tuner, but it's still limited to 3:1. Tim KG6G
If you have > 3:1 on coax fed you're losing too much to feed line losses anyway
RUclips upload comparing the tuner in the 710 vs the IC 7300 shows the 710 tuner capable of 5:1

My understanding is that HDMI also contains sound with the video.
Even better if that was there instead of DVI-D!
You can buy a DVI-HDMI cable and plug it into your TV if you like (no sound or TV programming protocols).
Looks cool man. But yeah no, too pricey for me.
Bonjour messieurs,
Vous êtes juste des jaloux0sur le ft710
You just are jealous of the ft710
These blokes are a couple of goofballs, waste of time for little information.
Just like your comment good sir! Glad you liked the video!
You guys are annoying. “Information “ on the radio.
This comment is equally annoying... so it's 1-1 at this point
Crap talk
In the UK M3/6/7 10W 2E0 50W M0/G 400W
Yes, apparently you can only buy a radio that must not be able to exceed your licence power conditions hence the 3 power versions. This is what I am to understand for operators in Japan
Wow! That’s crazy! I never knew that
The DX10 is far superior in the receive relm…plus larger screen…so many positives!
Is this radio capable of working on all tx frequencies ie mars mode
yes
I think they must have sacked the person who leaked the image.🤔
It will be out of my budget so I won't be getting one anytime soon.😫
