Hey Andy,
while you have the two sitting side by side, would be interested in some opinions on the ergonomics of the 710 vs the 590. I will be up front here, I am an Icom fan boy as I have always found the operator ergonomics to be a good fit for me, the knobs are where my hands expect them to be and each of the buttons is in a logical grouping and the buttons have always had consistent naming across the generations. Only had brief contact with the modern Yaesu HF's and always struggled to make sense of the layout. Does it work for you?
