Well, well, well...
I just purchased an FTDX10 last week, based on its receiver performance. And it does indeed have a great receiver (and audio quality, too). But the front panel could not be more crowded with little buttons crammed together and up against the VFO knob, not to mention various other nitpicks. But I digress.
This new FT-710 looks very promising in terms of its control layout. Ergonomically, it pushes my buttons! Eagerly awaiting more intel reports.
And now the wait...
