The only logical economical hf ham radios for 2024.

[@tomwright4450]

I previously owned the Kenwood TS-590S, but I've since upgraded to the Yaesu FTDX10 because the FT-710 wasn't available at the time. Living in the suburbs, I've found that the Kenwood TS-590S struggles with QRM (radio interference), particularly in my location where there are power lines and solar panels. The interference was quite severe. Switching to the FTDX10 has been a significant improvement. Its noise reduction (NR) features and various control knobs effectively mitigate the interference issues. As a CW (Morse code) operator, I particularly appreciate the 300 Hz CW filter on the FTDX10, which helps me pull in even the weakest signals. Nearly 50% of my QSO I could not have with the Kenwood 590s due to QRM, with the FTDX 10, these 50% are receivable...Bottom line. DE NN2X / Tom

[@jamescady723]

Learning CW currently and this was actually useful. Thanks.

[@ts440s]

Yea but I guarantee most of those that your using all that filtering to hear you are never going to reach unless you have a beam antenna, on a vertical almost no chance since propagation usually goes equal both ways so unless he has a DX10 as well he's not hearing you but I do agree the receive is nice.

[@hamradiohack]

Thats awesome. I wonder how the 7300 or 7610 would fair with this

[@bwillan]

Xiegu would do well to make a 50 or 100 watt version of the G90.

[@thejoshpope]

One step better, I think if they put out a 200 watt radio that would be one step higher in power than almost everyone else, similar to the g90 vs 5watt QRP radios. If it was priced at at around 700-800 I bet they would sell a ton of rigs.

[@ts440s]

Yes they would but need to add uhf vhf. Even if they just did 50 watts and included unf vhf and tuner but the price would have to be like 650 and they would really take a chunk out of the market. It's almost like these companies or the big two have coluded with others not to make radios that do everything including a scanner that's fast. I truly believe they want people to buy multiple radios and if they could they would make all monobands like yeasu just did. You can't tell me a monobander made any sense in 2024.

[@franciscolopez3229]

I am new to hf, is the g90 really that good? I mean for the price and for a beginner like me?

[@bwillan]

@@ts440s I have a different view on shack in the box radios. I believe it is better if have separate radios for vhf/uhf. If your shack in the box malfunctions, then you have no radio at all. Doing them separately you at least have 1 radio. I also want to know why some many radio makers have no love for the 6m band?

[@obstacleman]

Cost of goods and assembly is only a fraction of what goes into pricing. You said it yourself it's a nitch market. There needs to be enough profit per unit to keep things going.

[@CriticalThinker-42]

Inflation from the 70’s is a factor of 8X for today’s costs. My first HF Xcvr, FT-101E, was listed at $749 (without the cooling fan option), or an equivalent of $3000 today. That will buy you a FTdx101D today (adding in the E’s optional fan) and its orders of magnitude better in Quality, Features, TX, and especially RX. You can say the same for the FT-710 at 1/3rd the adjusted prices. I’m happy these company's put in so much effort to bring us cutting edge radios at comparatively low prices in our niche market. I feel that the current prices are in line, and realize that they sell to a World Wide marketplace, therefore they can’t make everyone’s dream radio a reality. With the economy like it is how long will they put in the effort to continue to do so if they aren’t making enough of a profit that justifies their effort, without putting up with so many complaining that they didn’t get a customized radio to fit their whims at that time? IMHO, Our strength as a species is our ability to out-think, adapt and overcome. The manufacturers are doing the best they can without making a customized radio for each international market, which would probably double (or more) the MSRP for each radio. I bet even then you wouldn’t be happy. IF you can’t adapt to our radio’s Modern improvements, maybe that's evolution's way of saying that You should go extinct. EVERYTHING about life includes Change over time, the inability to keep up with changes means You will be left behind. As apparently you are. I think that's your Real Concern here, whether you realize it or not. 73 mike, my $0.02 (retired electronics tech, Novice licensed in '76)

Damn, one of the most honest videos I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch about the Ham Radio hobby and how we are being treated so badly by the so called,”Big 3”, which is more like the big 4,5 and 6! For over 10 years, the Ham radio community has begged, pleaded and prayed for a compact and lightweight “Shack in a box” rig like a 120 watt version of the Xiegu G90 for SOTA and POTA. 😢 Yes, call it the Xiegu G120 that has all the HF band including 6 meters along with 2m,220mhz and 70cm. Built in tuner, SWR, and antenna analyzer with SDR Waterfalls and never requires a stupid computer update unless it can be done via Bluetooth on an iPhone. This rig must be designed to be waterproof also. I should have a built in MMDVM for digital modes along with a set version of FLDigi and not a dozen updates a year! 🤬 It should have an attachable 16.5 volt battery like on the PMR 171 and a built in speaker in the hand mic like on the PRC 77, which looks like a flatten out telephone receiver mic. It should have two TNC antenna connectors for the Abbree flat whip antennas on the face plate so that this rig with fit perfectly into a 30L Mollie or an ALICE Pack as a Manpack set up and have built in fans for cooling to be ready to use in the field. With a built in solar controller for LifePO4 or Lead Acid batteries. It should have a built in compass and APRS, the ideal military type rig that is ready to use in the field for the ultimate EmComm radio for disasters, SOTA, POTA, LOTA or ready to use for coast watcher duties like the Australian Army did during WWII against the Empire of Japan and today for the Empire of China in WWIII beginning in 2027 as per the Big Diaper Biden agreement with China just a few months ago on the US national news over the disputed South Freedom Sea and their stupid “Nine Dash Line!” I am tired of seeing new transceivers the size of kitchen sinks for an RV that would be impossible for a SOTA Activations unless you’re Jack Reacher! 🤬

[@jamescady723]

Can't agree more. As a relatively new HF ham, I'm completely frustrated with the overpriced two choices. And you are right. WTH with this imaginary 100W "barrier?" Frankly, not interested in QRP, either.

[@Moreflying1]

I have a question about the 710. Is it normal when using DNR to hear some crackling while someone is talking. I notice it between 2-7 at 8 it goes away. I don't have a lot of experience maybe it's normal. Also, just experimenting with settings I notice that if I use notch with NB I get weird static. Do you experience any of this? Thank you.

[@hamradiohack]

Yes. Mine does this. The NB usually makes strong signals sound odd also. Thats common on most radios. Typically the notch will remove carriers and hetreodyne and what not but might not remove it without doing odd artifacts. The dnr i leave at like 3 or 5. Depending on the radios firmware. Early firmware dnr was not good. I bought my 710 around sept 2023. So whatever it shipped with is what i have. The one at hro has never been updated and its bad.

[@josephtotter7484]

Same here WA4UJY

[@Moreflying1]

Thank you! I did match my firmware with Yaesu's website, and it's current. At least i know it's not dud.

[@joekrepps]

I hear the cracking sound on my FT-891 but only lately and only on 10m and 15m. (I rarely do WARC bands.) I’m normally not a fan of DNR on SSB _but_ I’ve found if I turned up the DNR super high, the cracking mostly goes away. I suspect the solar flares are adding crap to the higher HF bands because I don’t hear it on 20m. Max out your DNR and see if it helps. The DNR works really well on CW but for SSB, I only run minimum or maximum because I hate the under water effects. I’m 77/100 towards Mobile DXCC so I need intelligible SSB…having doubt about the 891’s capabilities after 3 years of use.

[@ae4xo]

its so funny how many opinions on these things. Bob Heil helped design the audio circuits in the yeasu radios. The dx10 is still the best radio on the mid-level market

The fact that people try to put these radios into the same audio category as broadcast radios is hilarious insanity.. The whole idea of narrowing your audio is to get focused intelligible voice communications and Yaesu does this well across their entire line of radios.. I used to have a gold label TS-830 that had that studio quality sound especially on AM which I used like twice in the 10 years I used that rig.. Electret mic elements are simple and can be adjusted to sound as good as an expensive crystal ceramic element for what they are.. I have an MC-60 and a studio mic but connecting them to a modern radio like my ftdx-3000 just makes no sense.. I use an old video game headset the skullcandy SGS that I got for $5 and it sounds like a $300 Heil..

John Krupp didn't get drilled about not producing an all band all mode 100 watt portable is because if Jason had done that he wouldn't get Yaesu back on his channel or any support from them anymore. So youtubers that can pull in the likes of Yaesu and Icom reps are never going to cross them. 🤣

I picked up an Alinco DR-735T in favour of the Icom IC-2730a. The DR-735T has a much lower receive current draw and comes with the mounting bracket.

[@digitaldreamer5481]

I started off with the Anytone AT5888 UVII and the AT5888 UV III came out about a year later, which I bought two of them and I ❤ all of them. Very easy to program maually, no need for a computer in the field. Both of my tri banders does 220 mhz just fine, and these radios comes wide open to program NOAA, USCG, and GMRS if needed one rig that can do it all. The price for a new one AT5888 UV III has come down by at least 40% and is the best mobile rig that $$$ can buy! It has a built in speaker in the hand mic and is very compatible with the Tram 1185 mag mount antennas,especially for the 220 mhz band. Did I mention that this radio receives AM also? Yes, I listen into HNL airport tower and when Air Force One flys into JBPHH, only President Trump has flown in here, not Joe “Big Diaper” Biden. 😮

[@jamesseaman2950]

I don't believe the big three major ham manufacturers have screwed hams, but it is true that ham radio is a niche market. We should be grateful they are still putting R&D money into making new radios for the hobby at all. Both Icom and Yaesu are very conscious of their founding roots in ham radio. Kenwood clearly seems to be losing interest in our hobby. Icom's bread and butter is in commercial products. Yaesu is a much smaller, non-public company, but I'm sure they make much more money selling their marine radios and aviation handhelds. All of them use ham radio for R&D and as a test bed for innovations in their commercial products. Where there is a product niche left unfilled, some new startup can come along and fill it.

@@ts440s Realistically, we have all the Asian radio manufacturers to thank for any major ham radio industry surviving at all. If there was real money to be made in ham radio, there would be major American companies doing it. I remember Drake and Collins pulling out of the hobby. I remember the last gasps of Hallicrafters and Hammarlund which never made a successful transition out of the vacuum tube era. I can remember Swan. When was the last time TenTec sold a radio? Now even MFJ has shut its doors. There are still some boutique manufacturers stateside filling a niche, but they are not major companies like Icom or Yaesu are. I would put Flexradio in the boutique category. It has a following, but it not playing the game at the same level as Icom or Yaesu. The Chinese are good at filling the low-end with low-cost QRP radios, oddball generic stuff, and bootleg Icom and Yaesu knockoffs. Some very interesting SDR products are coming from Russian designers despite current political events, and it seems there is innovation going on in Europe. Most of us still look to Icom and Yaesu as the real radio companies, and we buy them, but the marketplace always has room for competition. Even Icom and Yaesu started off as boutique ham radio manufacturers. Where there is enough demand, somebody will sense opportunity.

710 is full SDR. The DX10, 101 and MP are hybrid versions.

[@hamradiohack]

It isnt. I hate to inform you. It doesnt see the entire spectrum like the 7300. Its a down conversion or up conversion to sdr which is why it preforms so well. Why it has great rx and selectivity. A true SDR Radio has to look at every bit of the spectrum so if there's a broadcast station nearby it deals with all of that and anything within its receiving capabilities before it converts it to whatever you're trying to listen to an SDR Radio that converts up or down first Narrows out half of that crap if you do not believe me that's okay you can call Yaesu on the phone and ask to speak to Rodger

[@Kibwunga]

It isn't the measure of the radio what it sounds out of the box. It's absurd to say the Yaesu doesn't sound as good as Icom. The parametric equalizer is much more sophisticated and can render excellent audio. I am sorry your lazy tirade is substituted for putting the effort into setting up your radio. The Yaesu's and SDR's have amazing performance that cannot be had with a 7300. End of story. So get a 7300. It will do well. But don't project because you don't want to take the time to set up your radio.

[@hamradiohack]

I have many radios including a 7300 at 7:10 and ftdx 3000 and an ft1000mp Mark 5 I definitely don't discriminate when it comes to radios but the audio coming out of a 7300 on transmit exceeds that of any yesu radio that I have heard that is my opinion and if you don't believe me about amplitude modulation go ahead and try and set that up on a 710 and see how terrible it sounds the 7300 might not have the best receiver in the world but I can't hear the difference

[@Kibwunga]

@@hamradiohack So would you buy a mixing board and complain that you have to make adjustments for the best sound? 15 minutes with the 710 and it will sound great.
