Yaesu FT-710 AESS: Firmware Update (video #14 in this series)

I’ve had a number of requests to shoot a video series about the Yaesu FT-710 AESS (Acoustic Enhanced Speaker System), similar to my FTdx10 series. Ham Radio Outlet loaned me a Yaesu FT-710 AESS for just that purpose. In this video I installed the first available firmware updates for the FT-710Aess. According to Yaesu, the improvements included are: 1. Fixed a bug that "Key up" noise appeared when operating in CW mode on 28MHz band. 2. Fixed the problem that COM Port Baud-rate becomes 4800bps when power is turned ON with "PRESET" ON. 3. Fixed a bug that sometimes-prevented transmission when a linear amplifier (VL-1000) is connected. 4. Fixed a problem that continuous operation or hang-up may occur when playing/rewinding/forwarding recorded data while receiving a signal. 5. Optimized variable volume and minimum headphone volume when turning VOL knob. 6. Fixed a bug that caused a delay when an external CW KEYER is connected. 7. Fixed the problem that CW transmission may not be possible with the straight key. 8. Fixed a bug that CW does not work properly when "BUG KEY" is selected in "KEYER TYPE". 9. Fixed a bug that PC KEYING did not work partially in CW mode and CW AUTO mode. 10. Fixed a bug where changing the Baud-rate of COM Port is not reflected correctly. 11. Other improvements and optimizations have been made. I hope number 11 includes an improvement to the Digital Noise Reduction. I will explore that in this video.
