I totally agree Chuck. Now IS a good time to buy a radio.I have one on the way and the SDR front end was the selling point for me. Thanks for making this video.
I have a Yaesu FT-991a and I dearly love it! I purchased it for the ability to do 2 meter sideband as we have a 2 meter sideband net on Wed. nights. I also got some really nice rails to protect the front end. Every time you put your hand in front of the radio the camera goes out of focus. Cheers & 73 from K9POW in eastern TN
I still have 2 radios that do 2m ssb or I would still have the 991A, it's a great radio.
I know you loved that 991. Thanks for all the great videos Chuck.
Hoping the new 991a is coming, thanks!
I am really glad you did it, it did not take me long to decide to buy it.
No it didn't lol!
I'm very happy I got the 710 as a new ham earlier this year. Thank You.
I think this is a great first radio, thanks for watching and enjoy your radio!
Bought mine a few months ago, Absolutely love it, The thing can here a pin drop on the other side of the world lol. and with the latest firmware updates they've really done a good job of dialing in the DNR. the AESS works surprisingly well too. 73, thanks for the video.
Good to hear your happy with it, that's always good to hear on a radio someone has owned for a while. Thanks for the comment.
I am still a FIRM fan of my FT-817ND, FT-897 and my sons FT-857, (still looking to buy one), BUT this has appeal to me. Thank you!
I like all those radios and each has its place wish I cold convince the better half of that lol, thanks for the comment.
I could still kick myself for selling my FT-897d , also I found out that I can't go without my FT-817/818 ( owned one since they were released. ) I'd sell one and would instantly regret it. My wife gifted me my FT-818 a few years ago because she missed sitting at our picnic table listening to the bands on a warm summer evening. I sold my 897d for my icom ic-7000 all because I was mostly a digital operator, and I got frustrated by AGC "pumping" whilst running PSK and CW and the ic-7000 has IF DSP rather than ADSP , but the ic-7k doesn't like any voltage drop maybe +/-5% where the ft-897d can handle much more variations. The ic-7k is fine mobile but a pack radio-it isn't, unless it's running a voltage conditioner, but it's still a power-hungry rig. The 817/8 will happily run 8 volts up to 15 volts .
Thanks for the video. And thanks for the FT-60 video....my go to when I need to reprogram (infrequently enough that I forget the steps). 😁❤😎👍
Lol Andy I did that video to remind me also and still get comments about it, thankyou!
Looks like a great radio. Have fun with it!
Did the same a couple of months ago…. Love the 710. I liked the 991a, but have to buy a mobile 2m/70cm anyway, so decided to go for the 710 mostly for the better screen and the remote capabilities with the scu-lan10 …
Very nice Brother. 👩🚒 🚒 I really loved my 991A but I sold it and got a great deal on a new FTDX10. I like my DX10, but miss my 991A and wish I wouldn't have sold it. If I ever find a great deal on the 991A, I'll probably buy it again. Thanks again for the informative video. Enjoy your new Yaesu brother boot! Thank you for your service. Once a FF, Always a FF. 😊 73
Thanks, yea I will regret selling I'm sure but really like the 710 also. I miss FF guys not the city lol.
Considered selling my 991A, but not many radios can do 2M SSB or 10M C4FM, so the 991A really has a niche. I have purchased other HF only rigs, with the FT-710 FIELD being one of them. Thank you for the quick overview. I appreciate your straight forward videos. 73, KN4VA
Thanks, it was hard to sell the 991A, but I have a ft857D which won out for being able to throw in a backpack for SOTA.
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures Would it be more difficult if you had to sell your ft-857D ?
@@mononcyoyo Yes If I didn't have the 857 it would have been harder to part with the 991A
Thanks for the video Chuck. Yaesu knows about the lack of 2m and 70cm in their newer radios. Because we bring it up to them frequently. The 710 is a great rig. I have the FTDX-10 as my shack radio. It is the best I have ever owned. The price of the 710 is best value as an entry HF right in my opinion. I paid $899 for my FT-857d a few years ago. This radio is far superior to that one.
You are totally right , I give John a earful every time we talk. Thanks for watching!
That 710 is a great looking radio and as long as you like it that is what counts.I think you can't go wrong which ever direction you go when it comes to buying hf rigs,I have the 991a and i really do like my mine it is my shack in the box and i do not want to part with it.I enjoyed your review on the 710 you have great videos to watch and that is what it's all about you take care keep up the great work.
Hi,
When I was looking for a new tranciever I looked at the 991A. Because I didn't need UHF/VHF I went for the Yaesu FTDX10 when it had only been on the market about three months. After the radio development a fault and was repaired at Yaesu UK and over a year to get it set up how I wanted it, I'm very happy with it. Your FT710 seems comparable in performance to the FTDX10.
Great video.
Enjoy your new set. David M0DUU
Thanks David, the 710 lacks the super-het front end and some filters but for what I will use it for it's perfect. Thanks for the comment!
I did the same thing, sent the 991A down the river. This is a great radio and dont regret my decision. I use it more than my DX10.
I've used a friend's 991A in both field and home locations and it's a good radio. When the FT-710 went on sale a few years ago, I made a decision to get one based on it's high rank in the Sherwood ratings. I've used the rig in all modes and it really shines in CW due to it's sensitivity and selectivity. I've since added an Icom 7610 to the shack and it's amazing but the FT-710 still gets a lot of work! 73 DE WA5RR
I have a 891 and a 991A. I'm completely happy with both of them.
Both great radios!
If you set your camera on manual focus, then focus on the radio, your hand & fingers will not keep throwing things out of focus.
Yea I meant to do that and just forgot and it focused on my mic half the time. I had it locked on the radio at one time but must have touched the screen again. Thanks for watching!
I love my 991a,I wished Yaesu would have put an external monitor plug on the 991a It would have been great to see on the computer screen, But the ft 710 is a fine looking radio Thank you Chuck.
awesome video. Thank you
Congrats Chuck on the new rig, nothing like New Radio Day..seems like I see a lot of FTDX10's on QRZ makes me wonder about them...curious how this one settles in for you..I had a TS590S for a decade, now I'm a year in on a 7300 which still feels new and modern.. ;)
I have the FT DX 10. I am thinking of getting a 991A down the road, but you make a good point, they might come out with a newer version. Not to replace my radio but for the 2m/70cm, and the HF back up capabilities. I was worried about clicking on this, most videos about Yaesu products seem to be by Icom fan boys, who buy a Yaesu to bash them. Thanks for not being that guy. You mentioned the other brands, but not bashing anyone.
I love my 710( my first 100 watt radio) but I'm have several QRP radios( 705 and an ELAD) plus a G-90. This radio is very intuitive and I've done everything I wanted to do and I have yet to open the manual. I'm still hoping for an upgrade to the 991A. I live in a small apartment so I don't have the luxury of having a big shack. Thank you for this video and please post more content about this. Thanks again and 73
I plan to Walter, yes the 991A is due an upgrade.
Nice job, Chuck. I was planning to take out my club's 710 again next month. I believe there's a firmware update I need to do on it and I haven't played with it since the spring, so I'm looking forward to it.
Thanks Mike, I think I checked and it's up to date for now.
I got the same rig, love it!
That's great to hear , enjoy it!
My 991a is just out of warranty so I will be doing some internal cleaning of it now. I usually blow out the inside of all my electronics every 3 months with my no oil air compressor..
What a coincidence, i bought mine at Pacificon too. Steep learning curve, but it seems to perform very well. Iblove the receiver.
Dang we could have talked, while not huge Pacificon is a decent show, thanks for the comment.
Congrats! Been loving mine! Personally I'd have saved the 100bucks for some good headphones the AESS isn't worth lugging the speaker round for POTA work, I don't even plug it in on my desk half the time. Maybe if it had the power supply build in it like a certain more expensive rig from the same company it would earn its desk space more frequently. Maybe I just need to open it up and go all mad science ham inside it......
I put everything in a pelican style box and yes headphones will go also, thanks for watching!
This was a very interesting video. Thank you for the upload.
A bit of background: I currently have the FT-857D and the FT-897D (inspired acquisition influenced by @TheTechPrepper). I want to permanently mount the 857D in my truck, and use the 897D in my bedroom. For the shack, I want to get the FT-DX10 for the base radio, and the FT-991A for POTA and all digital operations.
The FT-710 looks like a great rig for portable ops, and the price is right. That said, I am more inclined to secure the previously mentioned 991A and DX10 for their specific functionalities. Buuuuuuut, if you create more videos featuring the capabilities of the 710, I might rethink the allocation of my precious few ham radio bucks. 😉
Lol they are all good radios I have a 857d that's why i let the 991A go because I will throw it in a backpack for some SOTA activations for 100 watts. Thanks for the info!
The FTDX10 gets you a superhet front-end with three different roofing filters (and an optional 300Hz CW filter for four) which then feeds an SDR, and a bigger 5 inch screen. It also gets you kind of sucky ergonomics with buttons and knobs all clustered too close to the VFO and its outer multi-function ring (which you would have to get used to. This definitely isn't a radio for people with ADHD.)
The 710 gets you a pure SDR radio with a 4.3 inch screen, same size as the IC-7300, a somewhat smaller form factor, better ergonomics, and the Aess speaker thing where I guess both the internal and external speakers work at the same time with level adjustments for both which people say improves RX audio.
I have the DX10 and apart from the ergonomics which still slightly annoy me I really like it. It can pull signals out of a pretty high noise floor and its internal tuner can tune up to around 3.5:1 or higher SWR: not as good as a G90's 5:1 tuner but still better than most radios. Even with its minor annoyances I don't regret my purchase at all. Yet per Rob Sherwood the 710s are ranked right below the DX10s in his lab test results and I'm sure you couldn't even hear the differences between the two radios apart from the Aess thing, assuming the DSP noise reduction algorithms in the 710 are as good as the ones in the DX10s.
Nice overview Chuck. I'll be watching for more updates on how its working out for you. Seriously considering buying one. I am so frustrated at the RX on my 7300. Its a good radio. I like it and get a lot of compliments on the audio. But its seriously lacking in the RX department which is common on this radio. RX on my ft-891 blows it out of the water.
If your ft891 is better I bet you will love the ft710, I think the sale is into December for now. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for the overview Chuck. Im curious to see how you like it for portable use. I am considering a DX10 as an upgrade for my current POTA rig (FT-891) but this another option. 73!
The ftdx10 is a great radio also, right now I just don't see a better deal for the money than the 710 and think it's plenty for POTA. The ftdx 10 is just a step up and a nice middle to the 101. I like that yaesu gives a choice of 3 levels in their radios.
I have been using FT991a since 2019. I recently bought an FT710, but I can't decide to sell the FT991a. I know I would regret it. That's why I keep both radios. They stand next to each other and it even looks nice on the desk.
I totally understand!
Thanks for the info Chuck. I think I'll start with the HL2 first for HF radio, mainly digital at QTH for now, but I still want physical buttons and QRO later. The 710 has some stuff that I'm keen on and is current tech compared to the vintage 7300. Lol
Good point with the 705 needing a HF, VHF and UHF amps and ofcourse, a tuner, i which, I think is its biggest fail.👍
Thanks don, it's hard to wrong with those two radios you will like them both. Thanks for the comment!
Do u like it better than the 991A? I am currently looking at the 991-A I Currently have a Yaesu 767 that I got new back in the 90s
Thanks for the radio review. I was wondering how long can you record audio? I would say it depends on SD card size. Thanks.
You are correct and the book says they have tried cards up to 32gb, Thanks for watching.
6:18 quick video tip. When showing something (radio), focus on the item and turn off auto focus. It will keep the camera focused on the item as you move your hand or other item around the field of view..
I started ham radio with the 991A. After about a year, I ended up getting an icom ic 7300. Why? I just found it easier to use. I have also gone through a series of QRP and HTs as well, going through various models. I have finally, after several years, simply settled on everything icom. For me, just makes sense. Get used to the menus and the layout, then the learning curve isnt steep. Loved the 991A though, a solid performer!
I love my FT-710, and I also kept my FT-991-A. Just because of having a waterfall on 2m/70cm
Move the FT-710 speaker to the right side for speaker separation using AESS for better sound according to other UA-cam videos.
You will find that if you place the external speaker on the right-hand side you will get better stereo sound, lets face it you don't put your stereo speakers to one side. Also to make it easier to use along with a mouse with scroll wheel use an external monitor (DVI-D or HDMI) , I have used both on my FT710.
Congratulations on purchasing your FT710
Cheers VK3KGW.
Thanks Keith, I just set it up per the picture but I will try the speaker on the other side and will hook up a monitor soon.
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures I own a DX10 but I read that when you put the speaker on the left it covers the SD card slot.You'll need access to that slot to remove the SD card so you can plug it into an SD card reader on your computer to copy new firmware to the card so you can update the radio's firmware.
Only downside to this radio is the buttons are not back-lit. With the bright screen and led arcs around the tuning know it is difficult for me to read the button labels.
@@jaym1301 it does and I will change it in the near future.
@@figspigsandfeathers8179 That's true on the ft450 they changed that in later models.
That speaker sure was clear and good volume
Yes Michael it really does make a difference and I have noticed the same with my FTDX3000 adding an external speaker. I think the volume on the mic I used for the speaker was turned down sometimes the fat fingers hit buttons lol. Thankyou for the comment!
I only bought mine for easy remote base capability. RemoteTX and 991A makes it to easy ……enjoy your your new toy!
I haven tried doing a remote radio, might be a good video?
I purchased one of these about 2 months ago. Tomorrow I will be getting my general license so I can talk on it. Ben listening for a good while. I would like to know how to set up the And adjust the audio transmitted. It looks like his infinite adjustments. Thanks for the great video
Yea Spencer that's the nice thing on the Yaesu radios you can really dial your audio in but it's not easy or fast. Once you do it can be used for future radios, I can't tell you how many unsolicited of great audio I have received on my Yasue radios. I might do a video on my settings but it also depends on each persons voice. Congrats on your license upgrade you're going to love the radio!
That would be great. Just purchased this new rig and trying to figure everything out. Have a blessed day
I already have the DX 10 and just purchased the FTM 500 for WiresX. Looks like the 710 is a nice size to take POTA.
It is the same size as the 991A, thanks for the comment!
Very good video! Can you tell me if the old mic MD100a8x will fit this new radio?? 73 from Brazil
Not sure but I'm sure there is an adapter if needed, it has the newer phone style connector.
Haha, I have just sold mine too, in favour of FTDX-10! :-) However, after securing my VHF/UHF operation by IC-9700... ;-)
That's the deal Icom is the only company that makes that type radio, thanks for the comment!
Might wanna turn of autofocus if your trx and camera not moving.
Tnx for review. 👍
They’re nice set up
Thanks I like it!
😮 I thought I would never see the day.
I dont even have a license yet & saw the 710 for $899, thought that was a good deal & scooped one up. Of course then I needed to order a power supply & DX Commander antenna. This may motivate me to take the test.
Chip get your license and have fun, Don't forget the Coffee and Ham Radio antenna kits also lol!
I just ordered a 991a and plan to sell my old Kenwood TS-2000a. My thinking is both radios have similar bands. But the waterfall and convenience of digital modes are easier on the 991a . I was considering the 701 before I bought the 991a.
73 Steve AA4SH
Looks like you're likin' it! That's what counts 73 de Bill
That's very true Bill!
That was a long sip in the intro and I am sad about the 2m SSB loss. ;-)
Oh I still have my ft857D loland the qrp 705.
That sounded good! What size of doublet you have up?
My doublet is 110' and is at 30' and 40'
Planning a new antenna set up. Really looking at a doublet or full wave loop
I still have my ft-991 its been years of great radio in my truck. I bought the 710 earlier this year to replace an aging ft-2000d. I am happy i did.like you i chose the 710 over the ftdx-10. No regrets at all. I looked at the ft-101mp but for the price its not much radio over my ftdx-5000.
Joe WA4UJY
That 5000 is a great radio , I still have my FTDX 3000, probably won't sell it.
I guess, price difference between FT 991 and FT-710 being $400 , I probably go with FT-710 also. if I were in market of buying HF radio now. FT-710 is the radio I recommend to new Ham , as first time HF radio. AG6JU
So tempted to sell my 991a and ge this one. I have a I like the shack in the box though but now that I have an 891 for my pota I don't take it out. And I have a 2730A I could bring in the house. I don't really use radio in the car.
The thing the FT991A gives you is SSB on 2m and 70cm keep it if you can or like SSB on those bands, I have a couple other radios that will.
Massive gap in the market now.. What we need is a 710 with 2 meters and 70cms... Its about time. Will Icom make one this year?
the world needs a new model of ft 857 / 991 love 2m
agree...when?
I've got a brand new 991a in the box. I'm thinking it's time to cut it loose, too. Love my icom so much I never opened the yeasu.
That was my deal I have enough radios and had to let one go, thanks for watching!
I have read the specs of those two radios, looked at the Sherwood assessment, and plenty of side to side videos of the 991A vs. 710 and I can’t get it how the 710 is much better overall receiver. Triple conversion superhet with roofing filters vs. SDR tech mainly refined for the HAM bands. IMHO, I think the 991a is keeper that will become more expensive overtime, particularly after its discontinuation. The FT710 will become a cheaper option as SDR technology advances. Just my two cents.
Luis I value your two cents, thankyou for your input 73!
Hopefully, someone got a good radio at a good price. Keeping mine.
Yea a friend bought it before I could think twice lol!
My only nit of these radios is the panadapter does not do averaging. I wish Yaesu would address this feature request in firmware.
You never know they may, I have heard that before and will pass along tp John Kruk.
Sadly, your cam focused on the closer microphone or hand, and not the rig...but it loox quite good. On the fence between this and a 7300. My major ?? is what voltage will this rig work DOWN to - matters for battery ops. Neither my 7000 or 706 MkIIG do well below 12.0V, so I still use my trusty 817ND for field work... Also your opinion between this and the 7300. Tnx, Jerry wa2omu
I’ve used FTdx10 and 7300/705. Imho Icom user interface is easier but Yaesu is better receiver for isolating weak signals. Some prefer ease of use over performance in difficult signal environments. Often the harder the decision the less it matters.
@@petersichel9934 Thanks.
I wish Yaesu would allow the radio to TX the recorded audio like you recorded.
Yea I tried that on the 705 and never could get it to do that. I suspect the 710 won't either or I haven't figured it out, well I know how to but not like your talking about, thanks for watching!
Y
ou need to lock the focus on your camera when doing the radio shots. Every time your hand reaches for the radio it goes out of focus. Just a suggestion.
Can You completly remove all waterfall and signal stuff snd just have normal screen of frequency and general infomation?
Ps. Nice to meet you in huntsville. K4vte
Tommy as far as I know just the 3 screens I showed and that may be 5 different screens, but there are a lot of options in the menu. Great meeting you also.
Yaesu need to release an updated version of the 991A with larger screen etc.
Tks
On the FT991A the volume is quite low. If you're using an external speaker, you have to put the volume control about 1 or 2 o'clock to get decent volume out of the external speaker. If you go too far it destroyed immedigilly. That's what I don't like about the 991
Do you know of any third party antenna adapters that will provide for a second receive antenna using the 710.?
Antenna switch?
There are alot of antenna switches out there try to choose a quality one. Also my manual antenna tuner has switches so that's another way to go.
So, where are any backlit buttons (that even the 991a and every 30$ china handheld have)? I still don’t understand, why yaesu (and others…) doesn’t offers this feature even not in the (high price segments) DX-101? Have a lot of fun with the new radio! 73, Stefan
Stefan, that would be good and I know they added it later in older radios. Maybe to save on battery power while portable not that small led's would draw much.
I think its great for a beginner or technitian class operator
It sure is!
I like my fT-991A.
I have an FTDX10 for the shack, but I also wanted 2m/70cm for portable, so when an IC-7000 came across my path, I snagged it.
To each his own.
Lee that 7000 is really nice but I never saw a good price on one and I do have my Ft 857D also.
The 3DSS mode is definitely not for contesters. IMO it is cosmetic functionality at most
Great vid Chuck, I do have a question, why haven’t you got a 101 ?
Please do not say you are waiting to save enough to get a Flex 🤣, but I would like to know your reasoning ?
Lol well the price really on the 101and my shack radio is going to be the Hermes, thanks for the comment!
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures that VC Tune though Chuck, the VC Tune. 🤤 lol
Looking for mine soon. First HF.
For the money I don't think there is a better choice right now!
Re HDMI. My understanding is HDMI is a royalty item while DVI is not. An HDMI connector would add to the cost.
I have heard that, not a problem the monitor I have is DVI so win!
Just curious, what type of antenna are you using?
on 40m was a 110' doublet , 20m would have been a Moseley TA33
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures thank you .. I guess that unit doesn't have a built in autotuner? I cannot imagine not having my FT991A now ... the more i use it the more I love it Currently I'm working on getting it set up with WinLink and VARA HF and FM for EMMCOMMS use... I like your videos. 73 AD7VV
@@michaeldavidheit Yes it has an internal tuner like the 991A.
As of this comment, video has been up 1 month - curious how you are liking it over the 991a?
I really like the FT710. I think it probably the best entry level radio especially at the price. It's the cheapest radio in the class and newer than most radios in the class like the 7300 also a good radio. I will miss the 991A for the 2m SSB but I have a ft857 which still gives me the 50 watts on that band.
Just bought one!!
Awesome, you will love it have fun!
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures I sure hope so. Just all my licenses this year and this is my first base station radio. So I wanted a shak in a box to get going. Almost went with a 710 or the 10, but this may eventually end up in a pota or go box. Thanks!!
Please consider manual focus, if your camera has it. As nice as it is to have tack-sharp focus of the freckles on the back of your hand, it’s certainly not what you’re trying to show.
Also, I just bought a used 891a from giga… I wonder if I’m getting your old one.
I get it will try the manual next time
Looks good, I still don't know which one I want between the 710 and the dx10
Since you had a 7300 go for the FTDX10, thanks Steve!
FTdx10 has bigger 5” screen, roofing filters, 2nd dial around VFO. Slightly less portable and perhaps more cramped buttons around VFO. I have dx10 and like the bigger display but both look great.
@@petersichel9934 thanks for the info!

It's a great radio, thanks for watching!
Is the front end protected from static charge/lightning ?
If not then the returns will be pretty fun. 😂
Not sure any radio is protected from lightning, I always disconnect.
looks nice, but I don't like those wacky RJ45 microphone connectors...
Great video Chuck. I am currently looking at the 991a for a home base , currently have the ft817
73
My home base is a 991a. I run it off a 20 ah agm battery. The battery is hooked to a 5 a charger that runs during the night using a timer.
It's a great radio you will love it!
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures fingers crossed 🤞🏽
I always said I would never get a home base. I can't imagine it will be anytime soon but wishing.

A well definitely not sale Mty Yaesu FT-991 I really love that radio. But will buy the Yaesu FT‐710 at a later date when the price comes down a lot more. It looks to be quite the radio. I definitely want one of them. 73 AE4OY WILLIAM PEACOCK EM-81UF Blackshear ,Georgia
William it's hard to believe it will go lower than 800.00 but maybe .
They’re all like my “electronic children”, can’t let any go… yet.
I get you Dave, thanks for watching!
speaker sucks , I got the field with the sp 10 that goes with 991A. lot better sound. it was made to compete with the 7300 with a newer version
👍
That obligatory Tech Prepper sip of coffee.
Right?, have to see if he's watching!
Do not use a dvi to hdmi adapter for external monitor it will blow a small fuse inside the radio it's not a regular fuse either it's a surface mount fuse that has to be solder to replace if you want to use a external monitor on it it must be a dvi monitor watched on video on it the other day don't believe me try it you will be sending radio for repair. Nice radio have fun with it.
The extra monitor I have only has dvi so that should work, thanks for the tip!
Imho the only thing that makes the 991a better is having 2m/70cm. Everything else the 710 and FTDX10 are hundreds of times better.
I have the FTDX10 and it will likely be my forever base station.
Yea it's great for people that want 2m and 70cm SSB, and I bet you get another radio someday lol.
The design of that external speaker always frustrates me. If I had a FT-991A I would have 3D printed something that allowed all of that wasted room for...something. You could at least store the power cable and a few other things in there if you are going to carry it around.
You might be on to something there with the storage, thanks for watching!
turn your auto focus off when you're recording, and you will double your production value :)
I did on the next video and it did work good!
@@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures nice work man ! :)
Geez, Chuck. Don't be like The Tech Prepper with the coffee mug. Otherwise, great video.
That radio is wayyy too small. It looks like a mobile CB. Not enough buttons on the front means you have to go to the menu to adjust. Put your readers on to see the screen.
They make a bigger radio!
Seems like a lot of radio for the money. KO4HPC 73
It really is but that price will most likely go away after a month or so but may come back. Thanks for watching Adam!
