To the "English perfectionists", English is just one of the languages I speak, apologies if I make a few mistakes. I'm sure you speak and write your other languages perfectly with no mistake.
To the smart guys and old farts, yes the service monitor is old but this simple test matches others of technicians with yearly calibrated equipment. Most folks that "attack" my video aren't technicians nor have any equipment old or new, to perform this test.
Alignment is not just s-meter. There are several steps before getting into that.
These radios aren't built for precision, I'm convincing myself now.
Story:
I've recently come across a video on RU-vid from a professional service technician in Brazil @cbsradiocom7767 showing two new Yaesu radios both newly purchased by their owners that complained of them being "too noisy". Alex at @cbsradiocom7767 identified that both radios were not properly aligned (apparently from factory) and proceeded to show it in a video: • Yaesu FTdx10 e FT-710 ...
Note: The s-meter alignment is not what resolves the noise issue. I'm not worries about the s-meter only. Other pieces of alignment had to be performed as well.
Since I own one FT-710, and have a service monitor, I decided to check and see if my 710 presented the same problems. A simple s-meter verification was done. That is not the actual issue.
I am not a fan boy of any brand, Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood, Alinco, etc
I love my FT-710.
Note my test isn't 100% perfect. I used AM modulation along with the RF signal which wasn't needed. Know that I did test afterwards without modulation but no significant difference there.
See it here: Test without modulation - FT-710

Thanks to Alex (Brazil) and Chris (New Zealand) for your support in confirming this "problem".
Final thoughts:
Yaesu doesn't base their tests on IARU standards. So beware, the IARU table has no influence here.
Some care for their equipment being as precise as they can. They weren't cheap.
Some don't, which is an option or, selection. "Ignorance is bliss" for those.
73!
