Yaesu Introduces the FT-710 AESS 100 SDR Transceiver (QRPer.com)<\/a><\/h2>\n

Yaesu is introducing a new 100 watt SDR transceiver to their product line: the Yaesu FT-170.<\/p>\n

The Yaesu FT-710 will cover 160-6 meters with 100 watts output. There are two other Japanese market versions: the FT-710M and FT-710S which are 50 and 10 watt respectively.<\/p>\n

This general coverage rig will feature “AESS”–Yaesu’s ‘Acoustic Enhanced Speaker System’ which “creates the high-fidelity audio output.” Yaesu notes that the FT-710 utilizes, “the advanced digital RF technology introduced in the FTDX101 and FTDX10 series.”<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s \u2018Army FM\u2019 Radio Adapts To Full-Scale War (CoffeeOrDie)<\/a><\/h2>\n

KYIV, Ukraine \u2014 During the early morning hours of Feb. 24, as Russian missiles struck targets across Ukraine in the opening hours of the full-scale war, the Ukrainian military\u2019s Army FM radio station went underground.<\/p>\n

The team of seven army officers and about 10 civilian personnel abandoned their studio on the top floor of a downtown Kyiv building and relocated into a nearby basement. Inside the dank and dark underground space, they connected a mixing board and a couple of laptops to a mobile radio system, which the station\u2019s reporters had previously used to report from the Donbas trenches.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just grabbed my Kalashnikov and went to work,\u201d said Oleksandr Yurchenko, 32, a Ukrainian army second lieutenant assigned to Army FM.<\/p>\n

While a Russian invasion force advanced to the outskirts of Kyiv in the war\u2019s perilous first few days, the Army FM team stayed at their posts and worked in six-hour shifts to keep their programs running 24\/7. They constructed makeshift beds from shipping pallets and stocked the basement studio with food and water. Body armor vests and Kalashnikovs occupied all available shelves and empty corners.<\/p>\n

From this jury-rigged basement studio, Army FM continued to transmit information and entertainment programs to listeners across Ukraine \u2014 including into territories Russian forces invaded and occupied. [Continue reading…<\/a>]<\/p>\n

David DL1DN, is an Amateur Radio enthusiast with a penchant for low-power (QRP) portable operations. Recently he was out and about, and found that 10 m propagation was wide open.
