developed for the high-end SDR Yaesu Trans- ceivers are utilized. The twin A/D converter circuit configuration performs digital conversion processing using two A/D converters and FPGA digital synthesis. A/D converter overflow 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, distor- tion is suppressed. Then Dithering technology is implemented to improve IM (intermodulation) character- istics, 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 sig- nal strength is displayed in three dimensions as well as in color, recognition of changes in the band condi- tions is instant, convenient and intuitive. AESS (Acoustic Enhancement Speaker System) produces high-fidelity 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 effect 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 prefer- ence. 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. Filter Function Display monitors the status of the passband In the upper part of the display, a filter function display presents the state of the pass-band. In addition to the operating state of the interference removal functions, the filter 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 influence of strong broad- casting stations, especially in the low bands, can be minimized. WIDTH and the continuously variable Bandwidth SHIFT features per- mit 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 filtering characteristics. CONTOUR feature is renowned for effective noise reduction Rather than using the DSP extremely sharp attenuation characteristics, the CONTOUR circuit provides gentle shaping of the DSP passband filter, and can thus attenuate or peak bandwidth components in seg- ments. The interfering signal can be naturally shaped without having part of the signal suddenly disrupted. The contour function is very effective in making the desired signal rise out of the interference. 5 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. Moreover, when there are multiple interfering signals, the DSP DNF (Digital Notch Filter) Automatic Tracking System can be effec- tive, 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 val- ue. 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 clarifier/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 oper- ating settings, saving memory contents, and screen capture (saving the display screen). The SD card is also used to update the firmware. 6 Safety Precautions Note beforehand that the company shall not be liable for any damages suffered by the customer or third parties in using this product, or for any failures and faults that occur during the use or misuse of this prod- uct, unless otherwise provided for under the law.

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. RED FUSE: 25A Check the DC voltage and current rating (+13.8 V, 25 A) of the power supply before connecting to the transceiver. DC power cord (supplied) BLACK Installation guidelines • Ensure adequate ventilation around the trans- ceiver, to prevent heat build-up and possible re- duction 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 precaution- ary steps including separation of TV/FM anten- nas from Amateur transmitting antennas to the greatest extent possible. Keep the transmitting coaxial cables separated from cables connected to home entertainment devices. • The AC Power Cord connected to a socket-out- let with earthing connection.

SPAN nnnkHz : Scope Screen frequency span (display range). 21 • 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 attenua- tion amount. The attenuator is set independently for each op- eration band. OFF Attenuator is Off 6dB The incoming signal power is reduced by 6dB (Signal voltage reduced to 1/2) 12dB The incoming signal power is reduced by 12dB (Signal voltage reduced to 1/4) 18dB 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 amplifier 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 re- ceiver sensitivity and characteristics (Ap- proximately 10 dB gain). AMP2: Two RF amplifiers are connected in se- ries to give top priority to sensitivity (Ap- proximately 20 dB gain). IPO: The received signal is input to the IF mix- er without passing through the RF ampli- fier. 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 sig- nal but also improve the intermodulation char- acteristics. It is most effective to operate the IPO first, and then use the ATT if the signal is still too strong. The noise level can be attenu- ated 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 pass- band. Because this is an Auto-Notch feature, there is no djustment knob associated with this filter. • AGC (Automatic Gain Control) Displays the currently selected AGC setting. The AGC system is designed to help compen- sate for fading and other propagation effects. 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 con- stant. ● 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 FAST RTTY-L / RTTY-U DATA-L / DATA-U / PSK MID Normally, AGC is set to “AUTO”, which auto- matically 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 over- all receiver performance, we generally do not recommend any changes to the AGC Menu se- lections until you are thoroughly familiar with the performance of the FT-710. Important Receiver Settings 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.

Although TFT liquid-crystal displays are made using very precise technology, they are prone to de- velop 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 there- fore 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 off with a soft cloth that has been wrung out tightly. Use of glass cleaner, household cleaners, organic sol- vents, alcohol, abrasives, and/or like substance may damage the TFT liquid-crystal display. 29 Memo 30 Front Panel Controls & Switches ON/OFF (LOCK) Switch Press and hold this switch for one second to turn the transceiver ON or OFF.

Touch [BACK] several times to return to normal operation. ●MCH Turning the [STEP•MCH/ ] knob in memory mode, and it will switch the memory channels. DSP interference removal functions Pressing this knob momentarily, exchanges the SHIFT, WIDTH, NOTCH, CONTOUR and APF. These functions can be operated individually for VFO-A and VFO-B, on each operating band. 1. SHIFT IF SHIFT permits moving the Digital filter passband higher or lower, without changing the pitch of the in- coming signal, and thus reduce or eliminate interfer- ence. Because the tuned carrier frequency is not var- ied, there is no need to re-tune the operating frequency to eliminate the interference. The total passband tuning range for the IF SHIFT sys- tem is ±1.2kHz. 2. WIDTH The IF WIDTH tuning system allows you to vary the width of the DSP IF passband, to reduce or eliminate interference. Moreover, the bandwidth may actually be expanded from its default setting, should you wish to enhance in- coming signal fidelity when interference on the band is low. 3. NOTCH The IF NOTCH filter is a highly effective system that al- lows removing an interfering beat note or other carrier signal from within the receiver passband. 4. CONTOUR The Contour filter system provides a gentle pertur- bation of the IF filter passband. The Contour is set to either suppress, or boost specific frequency compo- nents, and thus enhances the sound and readability of a received signal 5.

Rotate the [FUNC] knob to select the desired mode. • Touch [PRESET] to display the settings that apply to the FT8 operation. • When changing modes from SSB to CW, the frequency will shift on the display, even though the actual tone that is heard does not change. This shift represents the BFO offset be- tween the “zero beat” frequency and the audible CW pitch (tone). The pitch is pro- grammed via Menu item “CW FREQ DIS- PLAY”. 38 ZIN/SPOT ZIN Press the [ZIN/SPOT] switch momentarily to adjust the receiving frequency and zero-in automatically while receiving a CW signal. SPOT While pressing and holding [ZIN/SPOT], the tone is output from the speaker. This tone corresponds to the pitch of your transmitted signal. If you adjust the receiver frequency until the pitch of the received CW signal matches that of the Spot tone, the trans- mitted signal will be precisely matched to that of the other station. The Spot tone audio level may be adjusted by pressing the [FUNC] knob, then touching [MONI LEVEL], and rotating the [FUNC] knob. SPLIT A powerful capability of the FT-710 is its flexibility in Split Frequency operation using the VFO-A and VFO-B frequency registers. This makes the FT- 710 especially useful for high-level DX-peditions. The Split operation capability is very advanced and easy to use. 1. Press the [A/B] key, then set the upper VFO fre- quency to the desired receive frequency. 2. Press the [SPLIT] key, and then set the lower VFO frequency to the desired transmit frequen- cy.

CLAR (Clarifier) The clarifier is used to adjust the transceiver re- ceive frequency to match the other station transmit frequency and improve the audio; or to shift the transmit frequency of this station when the transmit frequency of the contact station is shifted. The display will indicate “CLAR RX” → “CLAR TX” → “CLAR RXTX” in red, each time the [CLAR] key is pressed, and the clarifier will activate. Turning the MAIN dial changes the clarifier offset frequency. To turn the clarifier OFF, repeatedly press the [CLAR] key until the Clarifier status is not displayed. To clear out the programmed clarifier offset alto- gether, and reset it to “zero,” press and hold the [CLAR] key. • RX Clarifier If the transmit frequency of the contact station deviates, this receiver clarifier frequency can be changed leaving this transmit frequency un- changed. 1. Press the [CLAR] key. 2. Rotate the MAIN dial knob to change only the receive frequency. When the receive frequency is offset by +20Hz. Offsets of up to ±9995Hz may be set using the Clarifier. 3. To cancel Clarifier operation, press the [CLAR] key three times. ● Since the offset amount is memorized, when the clarifier function is operated again, the same off- set amount is set. • Adjust transmit frequency to the offset frequency After changing the receiver frequency with RX Clarifier, the transmitter frequency can be set to the same frequency as the receiver. 1. After offsetting the receiver frequency, press the [CLAR] key twice. The transmit frequency becomes the same as the receive frequency. “CLAR RX” of the display changes to “CLAR RXTX”. 2. Press the [CLAR] key twice, only the receive fre- quency returns to the offset state. “CLAR RXTX” of the display changes to “CLAR RX”. 39 • TX Clarifier The transmit frequency can be changed without moving the receive frequency of the transceiver. Normally, the clarifier is used to move only the re- ceive frequency and compensate for the deviation of the transmission frequency of the contact station, however alternatively, only the transmit frequency can be moved without changing the transmitter. When responding to an operator that is called by a large number of stations such as in a contest, etc., the response rate may increase if the transmit fre- quency is moved slightly. 1. Press the [CLAR] key twice. 2. Rotate the MAIN dial knob to change only the transmit frequency. • The “CLAR TX” will appear in the display, and the programmed offset will be applied to the transmit frequency. • Offsets of up to ±9995Hz may be set us- ing the Clarifier. 3.

MONI LEVEL: Adjust the monitor level. FUNC knob The last function used is retained in the [FUNC] knob so it can be easily set by operating the [FUNC] knob. Normally, it is suggested to utilize the [FUNC] knob as the [LEVEL] knob for the spectrum scope. 41 Speech Processor The FT-710 Speech Processor is designed to increase “talk power” by increasing the average power output of the transmitted SSB signal. The speech processor function only works in LSB/USB mode. It does not work in other modes. 1. Adjust the MIC gain as described on the pre- vious page. 2. Press the [FUNC] knob. 3. Touch [PROC LEVEL]. 4. Touch the Meter area on the display to select the “COMP” meter. The transmit meter becomes the “COMP” meter. 5. Press the PTT switch on the microphone, and speak into the microphone in a normal voice level. 6. Adjust the [FUNC] knob to set the compres- sion level within 10 dB. ● The Transmit Monitor is a helpful aid to verify proper adjustment of the Compression level. ● The “PROC” indicator lights in the display. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to the left to turn the speech processor function “OFF”. The speech processor can distort the transmit waveform when used to increase the average TX power, so it is not used in normal communication. RF Power output control Turn the [FUNC] knob to adjust the RF power output. 1. Press the [FUNC] knob. 2. Touch [RF POWER]. 3. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to adjust the RF power. When transmitting in the AM mode, set a maxi- mum (carrier) power output of 25 Watts. ● Setting of maximum transmission output The maximum transmit power can be set for each of the HF Bands, the 50MHz band and the AM mode. Set it according to operating conditions, when high transmit power is not needed. 1. Press the [FUNC] knob. 2. Select [OPERATION SETTING] → [TX GEN- ERAL]. 3. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to select the item you want to set. HF MAX POWER (HF band) (The setting range is 5 to 100 W) 50M MAX POWER (50 MHz band) (The setting range is 5 to 100 W) 70M MAX POWER (70 MHz band) (The setting range is 5 to 50 W) AM MAX POWER (AM mode) (The setting range is 5 to 25 W) 4. Press the [FUNC] knob, or wait for about 3 seconds to save the setting. 5. Touch [BACK] several times to return to nor- mal operation. MONI (Monitor) Use the Monitor feature to listen to the quality of the transmitted signal. 1. Press the [FUNC] knob. 2. Touch [MONI LEVEL]. 3. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to adjust the Monitor level. Transmit audio monitor is not activate in the FM, FM-N, DATA-FM and D-FM-N modes. ● If you are using the speaker for monitoring, instead of headphones, excessive advance- ment of the Monitor level can cause feedback to occur. Additionally, this feedback can cause the VOX system to hang up in a loop, making it impossible to return to receive. Therefore, we recommend the use of headphones, if at all possible, or the minimum usable setting of the Monitor level, if the speaker must be used. 4. To cancel the monitor function, turn the [FUNC] knob to set “MONI LEVEL” to “OFF”. ● Because the Monitor feature samples the trans- mitter IF signal, it can be very useful for check- ing the adjustment of the Speech Processor or Parametric Equalizer on SSB, and for checking the general signal quality on AM. 42 Parametric Microphone Equalizer The FT-710 includes a unique Three-Band Parametric Microphone Equalizer that provides precise, in- de- pendent control over the low, mid and treble ranges in the voice waveform. One group of settings may be utilized when the Speech Processor is Off, and an alternate group of settings when the Speech Processor is On (SSB mode only). The speech processor feature is described in the next chapter. Parametric microphone equalizer function is activated only in LSB, USB, AM, AM-N, FM and FM-N modes. • Setup the Parametric Microphone Equalizer 1. Set the RF output power to minimum value. We recommend connecting a dummy load to one of the Antenna jacks, and monitoring the signal on a separate receiver, to prevent interference to other users. 2. Press the [FUNC] knob. 3. Touch [MIC EQ]. Parametric Microphone Equalizer function is activated. ● To adjust the Parametric Microphone Equal- izer with the Speech Processor engaged, activated the Speech Processor. 4. Press the [FUNC] knob. 5. Touch [MONI LEVEL]. 6. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to adjust the Monitor level. 7. Press the [FUNC] knob. 8. Select [OPERATION SETTING]→[TX AUDIO]. 9. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to find Menu items [PRMTRC EQ1 FREQ] through [PRMTRC EQ3 BWTH]; these parameters apply to the adjustment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer when the Speech Processor is dis- abled. Menu i tems [P PRMTRC EQ1 FREQ] through [P PRMTRC EQ3 BWTH] apply to the adjustment of the Parametric Microphone Equalizer when the Speech Processor is engaged. 10. Rotate the [FUNC] knob, or touch “<” or “>” on either side of the value to adjust a particu- lar Menu item. 11. Press and hold the PTT switch, and speak into the microphone while listening to the ef- fect of the adjustments being made. Because the overall sound will change with each ad- justment, make several passes through each adjustment area, to be sure that the optimum settings are achieved. ●The best way to hear the effects of the ad- justments is to wear headphones (connect- ed to the monitor receiver) while listening to the transmitted signal. 12. When all adjustments are satisfactory, press the [FUNC] knob, or wait for about 3 seconds to save the setting. 13.

The ATU is designed to ensure that a 50- Ohm antenna impedance load is presented to the final amplifier stage of the transmitter. • Because the FT-710 ATU is located inside transceiver, it can only adjust the impedance presented to the transceiver end of the coaxial cable feedline. It does not “tune” the SWR at the antenna feed point itself. When designing and building an antenna system, we recommend that every effort be made to also ensure a low SWR at the antenna feed point. • The ATU in the FT-710 is designed to match impedances within the range of 16.5 Ohms to 150 Ohms, cor- responding to an SWR of 3:1 or less on the HF amateur bands (6 m amateur band: 25 Ohms to 100 Ohms, corresponding to an SWR of 2:1 or less). Accordingly, simple non-resonant whip antennas, along with ran- dom-length wires and the “G5RV” antenna (on most bands) may not be within the impedance matching range of the ATU. • The built-in antenna tuner cannot be used with an antenna connector connected to an external antenna tuner. • ATU Operation 1. Press the [TUNE] key momentarily to place the ATU in the transmit line (no adjustment or tuning will occur yet). While the ATU function is activated, the “TUNE” will be displayed. ● The momentary press of the [TUNE] key will turn the tuner ON, and the microproces- sor will automatically select the tuning point closest to the current operating frequency. 2. Press and hold the [TUNE] key to begin auto- matic tuning. ● The transmitter wil l be engaged, and “TUNE” will be displayed while tuning is in progress. ● Always listen on the operating frequency before beginning the tuning process, to be sure tuning will not interfere with others who may already be using the frequency. ● When the optimum tuning point has been achieved, the transceiver will return to re- ceive. 3. To disengage the ATU from the transmit line, press the [TUNE] key momentarily. The ATU microprocessor memories store the record of the capacitors and inductors select- ed to tune each 10kHz window in which tuning has occurred. This eliminates the need to re- tune every time operation returns to a frequency on which the tuning process has already been completed. About ATU Memories SWR (After tuning) Less than 2:1 The tuner settings are stored in the ATU memory. SWR (After tuning) Greater than 2:1 Tuning data will not be retained in mem- ory. If operation is returned to the same frequency, the tuning process must be re- peated. SWR (After tuning) Greater than 3:1 The “HI-SWR” icon will light up, and the tuner settings, if achieved, will not be mem- orized. Investigate the high SWR condition and resolve the problem before attempting further operation using this antenna. 49 CW Mode Operation The impressive CW operating capabilities of the FT-710 permit operating with an Electronic Keyer Paddle, a “Straight Key”, or a computer based keying device. 1. Before starting, connect the key cable to the rear panel KEY jack. 2. Set the operating mode to CW-U. The normal “CW” mode utilizes USB-side car- rier injection. 3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select the desired operating frequency. 4. Press the [FUNC] knob. 5. Touch [BK-IN] to turn ON the BK-IN function. 6. Touch [MONI LEVEL] and then turn the [FUNC] knob to adjust the volume of the mon- itor. 7. When using the keyer paddle, press the [FUNC] knob and then touch [KEYER] to turn ON the Electronic Keyer. 8. When the key or the keyer paddle is pressed, the transmitter will automatically be engaged. ● Press [FUNC], then touch [CW SPEED], and rotate the [FUNC] knob to set the de- sired sending speed. ● As shipped from the factory, the FT-710 CW TX/RX is configured for “Semibreak-in” operation. However, using Menu item “CW BK-IN TYPE”, this setup may be changed to full break-in (QSK) operation, wherein the switching is quick enough to hear incoming signals in the spaces between the dots and dashes of the transmission. This may prove very useful during contest and traffic han- dling operations. • Adjusting the Sidetone Audio level The CW sidetone audio level may be adjusted by press the [FUNC] knob, then touch [MONI LEV- EL], and then rotating the [FUNC] knob. • CW Delay Time Setting During semi-break-in (not QSK) operation, the hang time of TX, after the transmitting ends may be adjusted to a comfortable value corresponding with the sending speed. 1. Press the [FUNC] knob, then touch [BK-DELAY]. 2. Start sending and rotate the [FUNC] knob to adjust the hang time for comfortable opera- tion. 3. Approximately 1 second after selection, the settings are saved and the normal operation screen returns. CW Spotting (Zero-Beating) “Spotting” (zeroing in on another CW station) is a handy technique to ensure the transceiver and the other station are operating precisely on the same frequency. The Tuning Offset Indicator in the display may also be moved to adjust the receiver frequency to center on the incoming station with the CW pitch corresponding to that of the transmit signal. Turn OFF the Tuning Offset Indicator using Menu item “CW INDICATOR”. 50 Setting of the Electronic Keyer • Adjusting the Keyer Speed Keyer speed can be adjusted by rotating the [FUNC] knob. Press [FUNC], then touch [CW SPEED], and ro- tate the [FUNC] knob to set the desired sending speed (4 wpm - 60 wpm). • Setting the Keyer Weight (Dot/Dash) Ratio This Menu item may be used to adjust the dot/ dash ratio for the built-in Electronic Keyer. The default weighting is 3:0 (a dash is three times lon- ger than a dot). 1. Press the [FUNC] knob. 2. Select [CW SETTING]→[KEYER]→[CW WEIGHT]. 3. Rotate the [FUNC] knob, or touch “<” or “>” on either side of the value to set the weight to the desired value. The available adjustment range is a Dot/Dash ratio of 2.5 - 4.5 (default value: 3.0). 4. Press the [FUNC] knob, or wait for about 3 seconds to save the setting. 5. Touch [BACK] several times to return to nor- mal operation. • Reversing the Keyer Polarity The Keyer polarity can be reversed easily in the Menu mode without changing the keyer connec- tions (the default setting is “NOR”). Example: for left-handed operators in a contest. In the Keyer modes described on the chart at the right, BUG and OFF modes are not changed. 1. Press the [FUNC] knob. 2. Select [CW SETTING] → [KEYER]. 3. Select [KEYER DOT/DASH]. 4. Rotate the [FUNC] knob, or touch “<” or “>” on either side of the value to set the “REV”. 5. Press the [FUNC] knob, or wait for about 3 seconds to save the setting. 6. Touch [BACK] several times to return to nor- mal operation. • Selecting the Keyer Operating Mode The configuration of the Electronic Keyer may be customized for the FT-710. This permits utilization of Automatic Character Spacing (ACS), if desired. This allows the use of an electronic keyer via the front jack and a computer-driven keying line via the rear panel. 1. Press the [FUNC] knob. 2. Select [CW SETTING]→[KEYER]. 3. Select [KEYER TYPE]. 4. Rotate the [FUNC] knob, or touch “<” or “>” on either side of the value to set the keyer to the desired operating mode, see the table be- low. 5. Press the [FUNC] knob, or wait for about 3 seconds to save the setting. 6. Touch [BACK] several times to return to nor- mal operation. OFF The built-in Electronic Keyer is turned OFF ("straight key” mode). BUG Dots will be generated automatically by the keyer, but dashes must be sent manually. ELEKEY-A A code element (“Dot” or “Dash” side) is transmitted upon releasing both sides of the paddle. ELEKEY-B Releasing both sides of the paddle transmits the currently generated “Dash” side followed by “Dot” side (or reverse order). ELEKEY-Y Pressing both sides of the paddle transmits the currently generated “Dash” side followed by “Dot” side (or reverse order). While transmitting the “Dash” side, the first transmitted “Dot” side will not be stored. ACS Same as “ELEKEY” except that the spacing between characters is precisely set by the keyer to be the same length as a dash (three dots in length).

These channels appear after the “last” PMS channel (“M-P9U”). Channel Number Frequency U.S. Version U.K. Version 5-01 5.332.000 MHz (USB) 5.260.000 MHz (USB) 5-02 5.348.000 MHz (USB) 5.280.000 MHz (USB) 5-03 5.358.500 MHz (USB) 5.290.500 MHz (USB) 5-04 5.373.000 MHz (USB) 5.368.000 MHz (USB) 5-05 5.405.000 MHz (USB) 5.373.000 MHz (USB) 5-06 5.332.000 MHz (CW-U) 5.400.000 MHz (USB) 5-07 5.348.000 MHz (CW-U) 5.405.000 MHz (USB) 5-08 5.358.500 MHz (CW-U) - 5-09 5.373.000 MHz (CW-U) - 5-10 5.405.000 MHz (CW-U) - 5-11 5.332.000 MHz (DATA-U) - 5-12 5.348.000 MHz (DATA-U) - 5-13 5.358.500 MHz (DATA-U) - 5-14 5.373.000 MHz (DATA-U) - 5-15 5.405.000 MHz (DATA-U) - 64 Either the VFO or the memory channels of the FT-710 may be scanned, and the receiver will halt scan- ning on any frequency with a signal strong enough to open the receiver squelch. In the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, the decimal points in the frequency display area will blink and the scanner will slow down (but does not stop). VFO/Memory Scan VFO and Memory Scanning 1. Set the frequency or Memory channel at which scanning is to begin. 2. Rotate the [RF GAIN/SQL] knob so that the background noise is just silenced (page 37). 3. Pressing and holding the UP or DWN key on the microphone will start the scanning. ● If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the decimal point between the “MHz” and “kHz” digits of the frequency display will blink. ● The operation when a signal is received during scanning varies depending on the mode type. Other than LSB, USB CW-L, CW-U Scanning will pause. LSB, USB CW-L, CW-U Scanning speed will be slower, but scanning will not be paused. ● If the scan has paused on a signal, press- ing the microphone UP or DWN button will cause scanning to resume instantly. ● If the Main Tuning Dial knob is rotated while scanning is in progress, the VFO scanning or memory channel scanning will continue up or down in accordance with the direction of the Dial Knob rotation. (In other words, if the dial is rotated to the left when scanning toward a higher frequency or memory chan- nel number, the direction of the scan will reverse.) To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch, or press any key on the front panel of the transceiv- er. If the microphone PTT button is pressed during scanning, the scanner will halt at once. However, pressing the PTT button while scanning will not cause transmission. ● If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to prohibit the microphone UP/DWN buttons from initiating scanning, you may disable scanning control from the microphone using Menu item [OPERATION SETTING] → [GENERAL] → [MIC SCAN]. ● During Memory Group operation, only the channels within the current Memory Group will be scanned. ● The manner in which the scanner resumes af- ter it has paused on a signal may be selected by using Menu item [OPERATION SETTING] → [GENERAL] → [MIC SCAN RESUME]. The default “TIME” (5 sec) setting will cause the scanner to resume scanning after five seconds; however the scan setting may be changed to resume only after the received sig- nal has dropped out. 65 Programmable Memory Scan (PMS) To limit scanning (and manual tuning) to a particular frequency range, the Programmable Memory Scan- ning (PMS) feature utilizes nine special-purpose memory pairs (“M-P1L/M-P1U through M-P9L/ M-P9U). The PMS feature is especially useful in helping to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur license class. First: store the Lower and Upper tuning/scanning limit frequencies into the memory pair “M-P1L” and “M-P1U”, respectively (or any other “L/U” pair of special PMS memories). 1. Recall the memory channel “M-P1L”. 2. Rotate the [RF GAIN/SQL] knob so that the background noise is just silenced (page 37). 3. Turn the Main Dial knob slightly (to activate memory tuning). The Memory Channel “M-P1L” will be re- placed by “PMS”. 4. Pressing and holding the UP or DWN key on the microphone to start PMS. ● Scanning is only between frequencies stored in M-P1L and M-P1U. ● The operation when a signal is received during scanning varies depending on the mode type. Other than LSB, USB CW-L, CW-U Scanning will pause. LSB, USB CW-L, CW-U Scanning speed will be slower, but scanning will not be paused. ● If the scan has paused on a signal, press- ing the microphone UP or DWN button will cause scanning to resume instantly. ● If the Main Tuning Dial knob is rotated while scanning is in progress, the scanning will continue up or down in frequency according to the direction of the Dial Knob rotation. (In other words, if the dial is rotated to the left when scanning toward a higher frequency or memory channel number, the direction of the scan will reverse.) To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch, or press any key on the front panel of the transceiver. If the microphone PTT button is pressed during scanning, the scanner will halt at once. However, pressing the PTT button while scanning will not cause transmission. ● If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to prohibit the microphone UP/DWN buttons from initiating scanning, you may disable scanning control from the microphone using Menu item [OPERATION SETTING] → [GENERAL] → [MIC SCAN]. ● The manner in which the scanner resumes after it has paused on a signal may be selected by using Menu item [OPERATION SETTING] → [GENERAL] → [MIC SCAN RESUME]. The default “TIME” (5 sec) setting will cause the scanner to resume scanning after five seconds; however the scan setting may be changed to resume only after the received signal has dropped out. 66 Other Functions Band Stack Operation The FT-710 employs a triple band-stack VFO se- lection technique that permits storing up to three favorite frequencies and modes onto each band VFO register.

The FC-40 uses specially selected, thermally stable components, and is housed in a waterproof case to withstand severe environmental conditions with high reliability. A carefully-chosen combination of solid-state switching components and high-speed relays allows the FC- 40 to match a wide variety of antennas to within a 2:1 SWR on any amateur band frequency (160 through 6 meters), typically in less than eight seconds. Transmitter power required for matching may be as little as 4 - 60 Watts, and matching settings are automatically stored in memory for instant recall when the same frequency range is selected later. Please see the FC-40 Operating Manual for detailed information. Depending on the installation and location of some antennas, it may not be possible to tune to a low SWR. • Interconnections to FT-710 After mounting the FC-40, connect the cables from the FC-40 to the ANT and TUNER jacks on the rear panel of the FT-710 Transceiver. Turn OFF the external power supply switch and the FT-710 power supply switch first before connecting the ca- bles. Install the supplied ferrite core as close to the connector as possible. Wrap the ends of the waterproof cap with the supplied sealing tape to protect against moisture ingress. TUNER Antennna Antennna Terminal Antenna Cable (supplied with FC-40) Control Cable (supplied with FC-40) GND Terminal 101 • Setup the transceiver The optional FC-40 Automatic Antenna Tuner pro- vides automatic tuning of a coaxial line to present nominal 50-ohm impedance to the FT-710’s ANT jack. Before tuning can begin, the FT-710 must be con- figured to recognize that the FC-40 is being used. Configuration is done using the Setting Menu Mode: 1. Press the [FUNC] knob. 2. Select [OPERATION SETTING] → [GENER- AL] → [TUNER TYPE SELECT]. 3. Rotate the [FUNC] knob, or touch “<” or “>” on either side of the value to select “EXT”. 4. Press the [FUNC] knob, or wait for about 3 seconds to save the setting. 5. Touch [BACK] several times to return to nor- mal operation. • Tuning Operation 1. Press the [TUNE] key. A “TUNE” icon will appear in the display; and the tuner function is activated. 2. Press and hold the [TUNE] key to begin auto- matic tuning. ● The transmitter will be engaged, and the “TUNER” icon will blink while tuning is in progress. ● When the optimum tuning point has been reached, the transceiver will return to re- ceive, and the “TUNER” icon will again glow steadily (instead of blinking). • Be sure to connect a good earth ground to the GND terminal of the FC-40. • The carrier signal transmits continuously while tuning is in progress. Please monitor the operat- ing frequency before beginning the tuning pro- cess. Be sure you are not interfering with others who may already be using the frequency. • It is normal to hear the sound of the relays while tuning is in progress. • If the impedance cannot be matched by the FC- 40 better than 2:1, and the “HI-SWR” icon blinks, the microprocessor will not retain the tuning data for that frequency, as the FC-40 presumes that you will want to adjust or repair the antenna sys- tem to correct the high SWR condition. 102 Active-Tuning Antenna System (ATAS-120A) ATAS-120A is a multi-band auto-tuning antenna that can be used in the amateur bands from the HF band to the UHF band (7/14/21/28(29) /50/144/430). Using the active tuning mechanism, tuning can be carried out automatically by the control signal from FT-710. Please refer to the ATAS-120A Operating Manual for the assembly and installation of ATAS-120A. Depending on the installation and location of some antennas, it may not be possible to tune to a low SWR. • Interconnections to FT-710 Connect “ATAS-120A” to the ANT terminal of the FT-710 with a coaxial cable as shown in the dia- gram below. • Turn off the external power supply switch and the FT-710 power sup- ply switch first before connecting the cables. • Do not plug or unplug the connec- tor of the antenna cable with wet hands. Do not plug or unplug the connector during transmission as well. This may result in electric shock, injury, etc. • Grounding is required for the ATAS- 120A. Make sure the antenna base is in contact with the car body to ensure proper grounding. • Tuning Operation The tuning of the ATAS-120A is carried out auto- matically. When using the ATAS-120A for the first time or when tuning for the first time after resetting the FT- 710, tuning is not performed for about 1 minute until the FT-710 recognizes the ATAS-120A even if the [TUNE] key is pressed. Tuning is performed after recognizing the ATAS- 120A. Press the [TUNE] key to begin automatic tuning. ● The transmitter will be engaged, and the “ATAS” icon will blink while tuning is in progress. ● When the optimum tuning point has been reached, the transceiver will return to receive, and the “ATAS” icon will again glow steadily (in- stead of blinking). • The carrier signal transmits continuously while tuning is in progress. Please monitor the operat- ing frequency before beginning the tuning pro- cess. Be sure you are not interfering with others who may already be using the frequency. • Check the grounding and installation conditions if “HI-SWR” icon blinks (tuning cannot be carried out). • Manual Tuning The tuning of the ATAS-120A may be carried out manually. Press the PTT switch on the microphone to trans- mit and then press the UP/DWN button on the microphone to adjust the antenna until the meter indicates the minimum SWR. The meter on the screen will automatically change to the SWR meter.
