  • Page 6: General Description

    High-brightness TFT full-color display with touch-panel functionality The FT-710 is equipped with a 4.3-inch full-color TFT display. Operating functions, including the receiving band noise and signal interference reduction tools, are graphically displayed. Even while involved in rig- orous operations, such as DXpeditions and contests, the operator may instantly grasp the status of each function.
  • Page 7 DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) by DSP digital processing The incorporated digital noise reduction circuit may be set to the optimal working algorithm by varying the 15 step parameters according to the noise type. NOTCH feature can eliminate an unwanted heterodyne, and the DNF feature can instantly attenuate multiple heterodyne signals When interfering beat signals are present in the receiver passband, the IF NOTCH feature can significant- ly eliminate a narrow portion of the passband and remove the interfering signal.

    Operate the transceiver from a remote location. Use the optional LAN unit “SCU-LAN10” to connect the FT-710 to a LAN or the Internet, then use the PC control software that can be downloaded from the Yaesu website. In addition to the basic remote operation of the transceiver, the LAN unit supports moni- toring the various scope displays, so you can operate comfortably.
