Comparing the FT-710 to the Hermes Lite-2 on 10 meters. Trying to hear which one has less noise and a better signal.
The Hermes Lite-2 is a direct conversion SDR transceiver that uses a 10-bit, or a 12-bit, ADC chip.
The FT-710 is also a direct conversion SDR transceiver that uses a 12-bit, or 14-bit, ADC chip.
*Please correct me on which one uses xx-bit ADC, in the comments section below.
I had the speaker(s) to close to each other, of the two-radios, during the recording. Listening to this recording, it is difficult to hear the "noise difference" between the two radios. The FT-710 has a some-what better signal/noise ratio than the Hermes Lite-2 with my laptop, running "SDR Console" software.
The Hermes Lite-2 has a somewhat-better signal/noise ratio than all of my 30+ years old "Analog Radios". Such as, Kenwood TS-180 and TS-130, Yaesu FT-767, Icom IC-751A.
Sometimes, when in my "shack", I will have the FT-710 listening on 10-meters while doing other projects. This is my "go to radio" due to the FT-710 low noise. I don't get "listeners fatigue" as soon when compared to my other radios.
Leave comment or questions below. Thanks for watching.
