[bars] Fw: what do you think about this to equip my ham setup

[Erving Chamberlin]

 Hi Jay,

Congrats on the upgrade of your license! The first question to answer is your budget. I myself own both the Yaesu FT-710 AESS version and FTDX10 along with the FTDX101D HF Radios. All three radios are very good, The FTDX101D being the best. As other parties have stated the FT-710 AESS is Yaesu only True SDR Radio. Simpler to the Icom 7300. If your budget allows the FTDX10 is the way to go. It has a great receive section, second only to the FTDX!01D/MP.
Either radio takes time to adjust both with the receive and transmit. but when done to your liking you will enjoy either radio. The FT-710 AESS, I have the external speaker mounted on the right of the radio and with the AESS feature you can get a great balance between the internal and external speaker. The FTDX10 I run a pair of good quality computer speakers which can give a nice FM sound.

Also, correction to info on the FTDX10, This Radio does not have the VC Tune feature as the FTDX101 Serie Radios. The VC Tune is a variable capacitor for adjusting a receive filter bring the FTDX101 to the next level!

Check out the N4HNH youtube channel. He does a series of videos on the operations of both radios.

Feel Free to contact me with any questions.

Good Luck!
