So with Yaesu Japan releasing the news of the FT-710 for the Japaneses market there was some confusion to what the U.S. version would be. The next day Yaesu USA released their info on the U.S. version. In this video I try to clear up some of the confusion and show the little we know for sure is included in this new radio.

Bangood asked if I would review this digital scope, I always check reviews before agreeing to accept with reviews of 4.9 with 1800 I said yes and I.m glad I did! All the opinions on this tool are my own and Bangood didn’t tell me what to say. I have to say I am pretty impressed with this scope and it’s camera. It takes great video and pictures.
I have a coupon and link to Bangood below to save you some money if you are interested in one.

In this video I show a cool lithium battery I found on Amazon that has a nice molded case to protect it. I have used the battery and works great with a 100 watt Radio or anything else that needs 12 volts.
