How to add a Computer Monitor and a mouse to the Yaesu FT 710 

One of the reasons I bought this Radio was the Mouse and external display option. My eyesight on that 4 inch screen is not very good. The radio manual warns of using a cable that has two way data or audio as the radio maybe damaged by it. Which I believe would be an HDMI adapter. I bought the same cord as you on Amazon. I bought a 24 inch monitor and plugged it in the VGA input to the monitor and plugged the DVI to the radio. I then went to display settings and turned the external display option on and there it was! It is great seeing this on a big screen. The waterfall comes alive and I like using the mouse. Thanks and 73.....

Fabulous find for me! You show exactly what I need to do to get a monitor and what plug I need. I'm hoping I can get this cord from Best Buy because I can then get this all set up TODAY. I just got my FT-710 two days ago and I'm in love - ha. I just got my General about a month ago and this is my first experience with HF. Thanks for the time to make this video. My 78-year-old chemo ravaged brain and eyes needed this - ha.

Great info, thank you waiting for my new FT 710 field

Why they didn't use HDMI cable? It's smaller and all modern monitors are compatible

So do they make a DVI to Hdmi or should we stick HDMI to vga?

I wonder if the dvi to hdmi works

Why didn't you use the DVI-D connector on the monitor.

Thank you for the help. KE6UPI
