New HF 100W Radio - Yaesu FT-710

Yaesu have released a brand new HF transceiver called the FT-710 which looks amazing. The Yaesu FT-450 was a brilliant radio and was discontinued in early 2021 due to component shortages. The FT-450 was also a 100W HF unit which has held its value very well on the second hand market. Lots of new features in the FT-710 and coverage up to 50MHz and also 70MHz. Availability is marked as October 2022 and costs around £920 ex-vat. Great to see the inclusion of 4 meters and SDR functionality but why buy this over the FTDX10 which is only £200 more. Still, lovely to see a new radio from Yaesu and look forward to the real world reviews upon release.
