710 Console is independently developed and currently provided free of charge.
Development and testing involve ongoing costs including AI coding credits, development tools, hosting, testing and the time required to continue improving the software. If you enjoy using 710 Console and would like to help support continued development, any contribution is greatly appreciated.
Contributing is completely optional and does not affect access to 710 Console or any of its features.
Support helps make time for the integrations, reliability work and remote-operation improvements below. Planned development areas are subject to change as testing and user feedback continue.
Keep 710 Console connected to the FT-710 while other applications communicate with the radio.
This is currently one of the highest-priority areas.
Improve integration with existing digital-mode software rather than duplicating FT8 decoding inside 710 Console.
Planned work includes reliable CAT, PTT, frequency/mode synchronisation, setup guidance, diagnostics and a future setup wizard.
An advanced remote option independent of the existing relay system.
Control the FT-710 from Windows, macOS, Linux and tablets/mobile where practical, while the Windows PC remains the hardware host.
Better recovery when the radio, CAT, USB, FT4222 or audio devices disconnect and return.
Investigate correct ATAS control while preserving current internal-tuner behaviour.
Physical and virtual COM PTT, RTS/DTR, inversion and footswitch support.
Safeguards include automatic release on disconnect or shutdown and clear source indication.
FLRig-style custom buttons for Zero, tuner/ATAS functions, scope span and other supported commands.
Custom labels, toggle commands, banks, profiles, import/export and FT-710 examples.
Investigate physical and virtual WinKeyer support, logging integration, CW timing, PTT coordination and status indication.
A documented TCP, WebSocket, REST or Named Pipes interface through the central radio-control layer.
Potential data: frequency, mode, VFO, TX/RX, PTT, meters, connection, scope, audio and tuner status.
Investigate FT-891 and other compatible Yaesu radios through radio-specific profiles and shared CAT features.
FT-891 support is currently experimental/unofficial and is not a promised feature.
