General Description
SDR receiver circuit designed with emphasis on fundamental performance
The high-resolution A/D converter and the FPGA element developed for the high-end SDR Yaesu Trans-
ceivers are utilized. The twin A/D converter circuit conguration performs digital conversion processing
using two A/D converters and FPGA digital synthesis. A/D converter overow due to overload is reduced
to improve blocking characteristics. In addition, random noise is added to the analog signal before digital
conversion, and by minimizing the quantization error during digital conversion by the A/D converter, distortion is suppressed. Then Dithering technology is implemented to improve IM (intermodulation) characteristics, etc., and enhance the overall performance of the SDR receiver circuit.
3DSS method adopted
In addition to the conventional waterfall display, a 3DSS (3 Dimensions Spectrum Stream) image method
has been adopted. The 3DSS image uses the horizontal axis (X axis) for frequency, the vertical axis (Y
axis) for signal intensity, and the Z axis for time. Compared to the conventional waterfall method, the signal strength is displayed in three dimensions as well as in color, recognition of changes in the band conditions is instant, convenient and intuitive.
AESS (Acoustic Enhancement Speaker System) produces high-delity Audio
Using DSP signal processing, the speaker in the top of the Transceiver, and an external side speaker are
combined to reproduce high-quality received audio with a wide frequency range and a three-dimension-
al eect that would not be expected from a compact HF transceiver. set the optimum sound quality by
adjusting the output balance and frequency characteristics of the two speakers according to your preference.
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 rigorous operations, such as DXpeditions and contests, the operator may instantly grasp the status of each
function.
Filter Function Display monitors the status of the passband
In the upper part of the display, a lter function display presents the state of the pass-band. In addition to
the operating state of the interference removal functions, the lter function information is displayed. Not
only can you grasp the operating status of WIDTH, SHIFT, NOTCH and CONTOUR at a glance, you can
also view the status of the RF spectrum in the passband.
Two selectable RF Stages amplify the desired signals from low band to
high band
RF amplifier AMP1, and AMP2 are low noise negative feedback RF amplifiers that may be selected or
combined in series as is needed for various low-band, high-band, frequency and noise conditions.
In addition, the IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) function maximizes the dynamic range and enhances
the close multi-signal and inter-modulation characteristics of the receiver. The inuence of strong broadcasting stations, especially in the low bands, can be minimized.
WIDTH and the continuously variable Bandwidth SHIFT features permit elimination of interfering signals
The WIDTH feature allows the bandwidth to be narrowed by rotating the WIDTH knob. The SHIFT feature,
can eliminate interference in one side of the passband. Often, weak signals disappear due to interfering
signals (including pile-ups). The interfering signals may be extracted, leaving only the desired signal, be-
cause of the unique DSP sharp ltering characteristics.
CONTOUR feature is renowned for eective noise reduction
Rather than using the DSP extremely sharp attenuation characteristics, the CONTOUR circuit provides
gentle shaping of the DSP passband lter, and can thus attenuate or peak bandwidth components in segments. The interfering signal can be naturally shaped without having part of the signal suddenly disrupted.
The contour function is very eective in making the desired signal rise out of the interference.
4
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 signicantly eliminate a narrow portion of the passband and remove the interfering signal. Moreover, when there are
multiple interfering signals, the DSP DNF (Digital Notch Filter) Automatic Tracking System can be eective, even when an interfering frequency is changing.
[FUNC] (function) knob
Simply press the function [FUNC] knob to easily select the setting menu, and then change the setting value. Quick response is possible even while operating. Assign a frequently used function or setting menu
and then you can easily change the setting just by turning the knob.
VMI (VFO mode indicator)
The VMI is placed on the left and right sides of the MAIN dial to show the current operating status of
VFO-A, VFO-B, Memory mode and clarier/split operation.
The color of the VMI indicator may be selected from 4 colors (blue/green/red/white) for each operation
status.
SD memory card
An SD card slot on the left side of the front panel permits using a commercially available SD memory card
for recording/playback of received audio, for voice recording for transmission, to save the various operating settings, saving memory contents, and screen capture (saving the display screen). The SD card is
also used to update the rmware.

Antenna Considerations
The FT-710 is designed to connect to a 50 Ohm resistive impedance antenna at the Amateur operating
frequencies. Select an appropriate antenna (dipole antenna, YAGI antenna, cubical quad antenna, etc.)
that is suitable for the chosen operation and bands.
Construct the antenna and coaxial cable, or use a suitable antenna tuner, to maintain the impedance
presented to the FT-710 antenna connector for an SWR of 1.5 or less. Careful preparation of the antenna
and/or tuner will permit maximum performance, and protect the transceiver from damage.
High transmitter RF voltages may be present on the antenna; install it so it will not be easily touched when
in operation.
Antenna Connections
Carefully follow the illustration regarding the proper connection of antennas and coaxial cables.
To prevent damage from lightning, atmospheric electrical discharges,
electric shock etc., provide a good earth ground.
Use a short, thick, braided cable to connect the station equipment to the
buried ground rod (or alternative earth ground system).
Power Cable Connections
Carefully follow the illustrations regarding the proper connection of the DC power cable.
Use the DC power cable supplied with the FT-710 to make the power connections to the power supply.

Installation guidelines
• Ensure adequate ventilation around the transceiver, to prevent heat build-up and possible reduction of performance due over heating.
• Do not install the transceiver in a mechanically
unstable location, or where objects may fall onto
it from above.
• To minimize the possibility of interference to
home entertainment devices, take all precautionary steps including separation of TV/FM anten-
RED
nas from Amateur transmitting antennas to the
greatest extent possible. Keep the transmitting
coaxial cables separated from cables connected
to home entertainment devices.

Important Receiver Settings
Important setting items when receiving
The status of various operations that are important during receive, are shown at the bottom of the display.
To change a setting, touch the appropriate location on the display.
• ATT (Attenuator)
Displays the current ATT (Amount of receive input
signal attenuation).
When the desired signal is extremely strong or
the noise level is high on a low frequency band,
activate the attenuator to reduce the incoming
signal or noise from the antenna.
After touching [ATT], touch the desired attenuation amount.
The attenuator is set independently for each operation band.
OFF Attenuator is O
6dB
12dB
18dB
The incoming signal power is reduced by 6dB
(Signal voltage reduced to 1/2)
The incoming signal power is reduced by 12dB
(Signal voltage reduced to 1/4)
The incoming signal power is reduced by 18dB
(Signal voltage reduced to 1/8)
• IPO
The IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) function
can establish the gain of the RF amplier section
to accommodate the connected antenna and the
received signal conditions. IPO can be selected
from three operating conditions.
AMP1: One stage RF amplifier is connected.
This is a well-balanced operation of receiver sensitivity and characteristics (Approximately 10 dB gain).
AMP2: Two RF amplifiers are connected in se-
ries to give top priority to sensitivity (Approximately 20 dB gain).
IPO: The received signal is input to the IF mix-
er without passing through the RF amplifier. This can greatly improve receiving,
especially in the harsh low band signal
environment.
After touching [IPO], touch the desired operating
condition.
• IPO is set independently for each operation
band.
• Normally, select “AMP1”.
• The IPO can not only attenuate the input signal but also improve the intermodulation char-
acteristics. It is most eective to operate the
IPO rst, and then use the ATT if the signal is
still too strong. The noise level can be attenuated and S/N greatly improved.
• DNF (Digital NOTCH Filter)
The Digital NOTCH Filter (DNF) is an effective
beat-canceling filter that can null out a number
of interfering beat notes inside the receiver passband.
Because this is an Auto-Notch feature, there is no
djustment knob associated with this lter.
• AGC (Automatic Gain Control)
Displays the currently selected AGC setting.
The AGC system is designed to help compen-
sate for fading and other propagation eects. The
AGC characteristics can be individually set for
each operating mode. The basic objective of AGC
is to maintain a constant audio output level once
a certain minimum threshold of signal strength is
achieved.
After touching [AGC], touch the desired time constant.
● AGC can be set for each operation band.
● The “AUTO” selection mode selects the opti-
mum receiver-recovery time for the reception
mode.
Operating Mode AUTO AGC Selection
LSB / USB / AM / AM-N SLOW
CW-L / CW-U / FM / FM-N
DATA-FM / D-FM-N
RTTY-L / RTTY-U
DATA-L / DATA-U / PSK
Normally, AGC is set to “AUTO”, which automatically selects the time constant according to
the received signal type, but when receiving a
weak signal or when there is noise and fading,
the AGC action may be changed according to
the reception condition at that time. Change the
time constant to make received signals most
audible
Several aspects of AGC performance may be
configured via the Menu. However, because
AGC can have such a profound impact on overall receiver performance, we generally do not
recommend any changes to the AGC Menu selections until you are thoroughly familiar with the
performance of the FT-710.

About TFT Displays
FT-710 utilizes a TFT liquid-crystal display.
Although TFT liquid-crystal displays are made using very precise technology, they are prone to develop dead pixels (dark dot) or pixels that are always on (bright dot). Please understand that such
phenomena do not constitute product defects or malfunctions. Rather, this phenomenon occurs due
to limitations in the manufacturing technology with respect to TFT liquid-crystal displays.
• Depending on the viewing angle, unevenness in color or brightness may occur. Please note that
any unevenness observed is inherent to the construction of TFT liquid crystal displays and therefore does not constitute a product defect or malfunction.
• If your TFT liquid-crystal display becomes dirty, please use a dry soft cloth or tissue to wipe the
display clean. If it is extremely dirty, moisten it with water or lukewarm water and wipe it o with a
soft cloth that has been wrung out tightly. Use of glass cleaner, household cleaners, organic solvents, alcohol, abrasives, and/or like substance may damage the TFT liquid-crystal display.
