Yesterday, I posted a note about the new Yaesu FT-710, but we had no meaningful information about the radio’s specs and features.

Today, Yaesu dealers are publishing information and some are taking pre-sale orders.

It appears the FT-710 AESS will start shipping in late September 2022. Final price is still unknown.

Here’s what ML&S have published:

YAESU is excited to announce a new HF/50MHz 100W SDR Transceiver – FT-710 AESS.

The new FT-710 AESS is a compact design yet provides 100W output, utilizing the advanced digital RF technology introduced in the FTDX101 and FTDX10 series.

A few of the remarkable features of the new FT-710 AESS are:

• YAESU Unmatched SDR technology emphasizes the Receiving Performance
• Band Pass Filters dedicated for the amateur bands to eliminate out-of-band unwanted signals
• RF Front-End design with the 250MHz HRDDS (High Resolution Direct Digital Synthesizer) enables phenomenal Multi-Signal Receiving Characteristics
• QRM rejection by the dual core 32-bit high speed floating decimal point DSP for SHIFT/ WIDTH/ NOTCH/CONTOUR/ APF (Audio Peak Filter)/ DNR (Digital Noise Reduction)/ NB (Noise Blanker) and 3-Stage Parametric Equalizer
• High Resolution 4.3-inch TFT Color Touch Panel Display
• 3DSS (3-Dimensional Spectrum Stream)
• VMI LED (VFO Mode Indicator) placed around the VFO dial shows the current operating mode (VFO-A, VFOB, Memory Mode and Clarifier/Split Operation)
• “PRESET” Mode Function most suitable for FT8 Operation
• AESS: Acoustic Enhanced Speaker System with SP-40 creates the high-fidelity audio output#
• External Display Connection Terminal (DVI-D)
• Built-in High Speed Automatic Antenna Tuner with 100 channel memory
• Support the FC-40 Auto Antenna Tuner
• SD Memory Card can be used to save the communication record, transceiver setting, the memory contents, screen capture images, and to update the firmware
• Two (2) USB Ports (Type-A and Type-B)
• Other essential features such as CW ZIN and SPOT, IPO (Intercept Point Optimization), and Remote Operation with Network Remote Control System to name a few
