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

[DOUGLAS BRUCE]

Hello Jay,
 
Congrats on the upgrade to Extra Class! I have the FTDX10 and I love it! It is a great radio at a great price point, and it is #3 on the Sherwood Engineering list for receivers! I would like to come up to the Campus at some point to see what you have for facilities for the UMass Lowell Ham Radio Club!
 
73,

> 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.
