FT-710 AESS: Setting Up CW Band Stacks (video #15 in this series) 

I’m glad you’re finding the videos helpful. I want everyone to get the most from whichever radio they choose. If your budget can stand it, I suggest the FTdx10, FWIW. It provides the most functionality for the most operating styles. If you only plan to rag chew or operate FT8, then the FT-710 AESS is enough radio. 73, de N4HNH

The popping sound made it difficult for me to send. After the March and July updates, many bugs are fixed. The popping sound is still there but not terrible.

That’s what band-stacking does. This was an initial setup of some CW band stack registers for a few bands. There are 3 band stack registers available for each band. The radio remembers everything you set in each band stack until you return to that band stack and change it. Note that it doesn’t remember global parameters, like RF power, CW speed, etc. You cash also save favorite frequencies, modes, filter settings to memory slots. I do that. I’ve covered that in other videos. I’ve also covered band-stacking more extensively in other videos. Video #3 in the FTdx10 series covers babd-stacking in more detail. You bring to mind the fact that I need to emphasize more that this is a teaching channel. Radio reviews or tutorials are secondary. No matter which radio I’m using in the video, the techniques I cover can apply to other radios. I suggest watching videos from the other playlists to learn more operating techniques. I covered techniques in the FTdx10, and even the FTdx5000MP, playlist that I might not cover in this series, because I’ve already shown those techniques. The only difference with a different radio is where the controls are located (i.e. knobs, buttons, menus). Thank you for the reminder! 73, de N4HNH

Same as FTdx10.

I reported it when I noticed it. Future updates helped but never completely eliminated it. Is a beginner radio. Better receiver and DSP than the IC-7300 but still missing some things. I got in trouble with Yaesu for pointing out the flaws. That’s why I have a Patreon team. Manufacturers wish to censor me.
