The Yaesu FT-710 Field is a compact, high-performance HF/50MHz SDR (Software Defined Radio) base station transceiver that delivers a powerful 100W transmit output. Engineered for portable field operations, emergency communication setups, and space-conscious shacks, the FT-710 Field utilizes the advanced digital RF technology pioneered in Yaesu’s flagship FTDX101 and FTDX10 series. By adopting a direct-sampling SDR circuit configuration, this compact powerhouse prioritizes clinical receiving performance, utilizing a high-resolution analog-to-digital converter (A/D) and high-speed FPGA to deliver elite-tier signal processing.
The FT-710 Field features a powerful RF front-end and low-noise local oscillator system that achieve phenomenal multi-signal receiving characteristics, boasting an RMDR of 113dB+, BDR of 127dB+, and 3rd IMDR of 102dB+ at a tight 2kHz separation on the 14MHz band. Unwanted out-of-band signals are aggressively eliminated by a series of band-pass filters dedicated strictly to the amateur bands. For signal purification, the transceiver employs a dual-core 32-bit high-speed floating decimal point DSP system, affording operators highly effective QRM (interference) rejection. Additionally, a built-in high-speed automatic antenna tuner with a 100-channel memory ensures instant impedance matching with your antenna system.
Operating the transceiver is exceptionally intuitive thanks to a brilliant 4.3-inch TFT high-resolution color touch panel. This interface supports Yaesu’s advanced 3DSS (3-Dimensional Spectrum Stream) presentation to visualize weak signals in real-time, along with a VFO Mode Indicator (VMI) that clearly shows active operations (VFO-A, VFO-B, Memory Mode, or Split/Clarifier) at a single glance. Packed with modern digital features, the FT-710 Field includes a dedicated “PRESET” mode optimized for plug-and-play FT8 operation, an external DVI-D monitor terminal, dual USB ports (Type-A and Type-B), an SD memory card slot, and a heavy-duty carrying strap for convenient transport on field days.
