the folks at HF Radio Onboard in Alameda California have
a microcode mod for the M710 that dramatically improves
the usability as a ham rig (ie, makes the tuning tolerable)
and they give you an updated set of channel memories reflecting
the demise of AT&T radiotelephone service, etc. i don't
remember the price, but it wasn't bad, although you do have
to ship the radio to them. i haven a 710RT and had them
do the mod - boy, was is a huge improvement. well worth it if
you have a 710 and are a ham as well.

cheers,

Be careful that the above mentioned MOD does not violate the
FCC Type Acceptance for the radio. Some MOD's do cause the
Hardware to become out of Type Acceptance Compliance.
