The Rochester Amateur radio Association (RARA) purchased a new Yaesu FT-710 radio for members to use. I took it out for its first Parks on the Air (POTA) activation at the Irondequoit Bay Marine State Park (K-2082) on April 8, 2023. Here are my thoughts on it for portable operations, like POTA, versus my own ICOM IC-7300.
