This book includes useful tips and tricks for the configuration and operation of the Yaesu FT-710 transceiver. Rather than duplicate the manuals which just describe each button, function, and control individually, I have used a more functional approach. This is a “how to do it” book with easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions. For example, I describe how to set up the transceiver for SSB operation. Then I follow that up for CW, FM, RTTY, PSK, and external digital mode software such as FT8. The aim is not to replace the manual but to more fully explain how to configure and operate the radio to take advantage of its many great features. For example, when I cover the front panel controls, I explain not only what the control does, but how and when to use it. Along the way, I offer a few ‘tips’ on how I configured my radio. You don’t have to follow these suggestions, but they do provide some guidance. Learn about the touchscreen controls, the band scope display, and the Presets. The book will help you get the most from this new SDR transceiver.
