Dilemma: FT710 vs TS590S

[VK6OX]

Hey Andy,
will be interested in a review from you on how you get to live with the Yaesu user interface.  I should ask some of the locals if I can get some time in front of a modern Yaesu to confirm or dispel my belief's.

OK so it's been roughly a year since I last posted....and I still have both rigs!   The 590S is still my go-to rig for 6m but in recent months I've been getting up "close and personal" with the 710 and must say that after biting down and accepting the new way of rig ergonomics   I'm kinda liking this little guy more and more.  After making the effort to undersand/play with the menus, this FT710 does a very nice job for an old fart like me!  After initially backing away from too many embedded menu items, I found that the 710 is pretty easy to get around.
I currently use it for 10m (mainly digital) and it does the job without drama.  I've also rearranged my shack switching so I can swap between the 590 and 710 for 6m.  Both rigs do a fine job for me!  It's hard to determine whether the 710 is demonstrably better on small sigs on 6m than the 590 but as time goes by I'll try to provide a sensible comparison.
So, meantime, both rigs will happily reside in the VK6OX shack!!
