// Current production support

Compatibility without guesswork

This page separates what the current public build supports from ideas on the development roadmap.

Supported now

  • Radio: Yaesu FT-710
  • Operating system: 64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11
  • Connection: direct USB for CAT, FT4222 spectrum and USB audio
  • Remote: two Windows PCs with internet access

Other Yaesu radios

FTDX10 and FT-991A support is not part of the current production compatibility claim. Some CAT commands may look similar across Yaesu models, but 710 Console is developed and tested for the FT-710.

Do not assume a radio is supported because a COM port opens or a few controls respond.

FT8, logging and CAT sharing

710 Console currently opens the FT-710 CAT connection directly. The current public build does not provide a released CAT bridge, virtual COM pair, TCP CAT service or general external-control API.

Direct WSJT-X, JTDX and Decodium CAT sharing is therefore not currently a production feature. QRZ/HamQTH lookups, optional QRZ Logbook upload and the read-only DX-cluster feed are separate built-in services; they do not provide CAT sharing to other programs.

Roadmap, not released functionality

CAT sharing, virtual COM, TCP/API control and improved digital-mode interoperability are development areas. They are not compatibility promises and may change as testing continues.
