Thank you Michael!...Great DEMO! I have many of my Ham friends trying to convince me to purchase the ICOM 7300, but time and time again, listening to KZfaq demo's, the Yaesu comes out TOPS in every session!! You have a WONDERFUL country, Mike!! I lived in Gloucester, during the summer months, for about 15 years, and I so enjoyed the stay, EVERY time!! If I had a cultured British accent like yours, I would never shut up!! LOL!! God Bless!!, 73's Ron, K6PAM

At 12:47, it is actually Digital Notch Filter (DNF). Excellent thing when someone tuning on the frequency, but slightly distort voice. So, engage when someone tuning, disable when stop. Great video as always.

Been using mine since March and I love the radio, purchased the M70 mic too and its a great compliment to it..

This is the kind of video I was looking for!!! Thank you. Just using the rig, not changing the screen, tuning around, changing settings. AWESOME. Some of those settings filters are same or similar on my 991a. Anyway, I appreciate the 'in-use' type video. Getting ready for Minnesota QSO party, my first one. 73 de NØGFT - Minnesota

Ok I'm simply blown away. This is Top Gear editing and commentary for amateur radio. It's what I've always wanted to do: the camera angles, the music track, the glorious honey-tounged voice a'la Jeremy Clarkson. You've done it mate. Now proceed henceforth with this style as lesser mortals sit back and watch

BRAVO Mike,excellent done!!! Clean basic details of this great strict HF radio, exactly what I want to know!!! p.s. You don't need "Top Gear" intro...you HAVE already unique one!!!👍👌

Thanks, mate! This surely is one piece o' kit. Now you've gone and made me want one. Truth be told, I've been on the fence for a while; now I feel myself listing to one side. Cheers! ;-)

Danke für das tolle Video.73 von Jozef,S56CJG.QTH Wien.Österreich.😊😊😊

Brilliant timing Mike, I collected mine from MLS a few days ago. The screen is awesome; brilliant rig 😊

Excellent non-review Mike. Thank you, especially for demonstrating the DNR. I have an FT-891 and wondered if the DNR on the FTDX10 is just as good. It is! This is the only thing I like better than my Kenwood! Cheers!

"cut the grass down"... What a perfect analogy. Thanks for the "review"! 😉👌🏻

Nothing beats operating in front of a water fall. A great view all around is best in nature.

Great look at the radio. I'm looking to buy one and having owned and used it for a while i would appreciate your opinion on the rig. I'm torn between the DX 10 and the IC7300.

Hi Mike, can you tell me what antenna your using? Is it your 49:1 long wire? Thanks and great video!

The DHF seems a slight step up from my 991A which works very well but does have a sort of watery effect on some signals

Thank you Mike. Enjoy your FTDX10! 73 PS. I want one too HI.

Mike, have you tried the 101D or MP? Great overview of the radio. I love it and use it for POTA.

Hi Mike, excellent video, I do have a really random question mind... could you possibly tell me the manufacturer or supplier of the PL259 that you see on the rear view shots during the opening... as I notced it has a nice stepped piece at the rear where you have placed the heatshrink.... random yes... I know... blame my OCD matey... lol... cheers... Don...

Hold on a minutte, that intro is top notch, wonderful :D

You can set 1KHz steps when using the outer dial. In "Operation Setting" set Tuning - CH STEP to 1KHZ. Then if you press the STEP button you have 1KHz steps when using outer dial.

I use my Ft10 has a mobile and the NB is extremely effective. Like you I seldom use it on my 101 mp unless my neighbour is mowing his lawn with his old mower

NB was implemented for suppression of the plugs firing in a car, nowadays it's not used much or has little effect because cars nowadays are filtered better with much better noise suppression..

Excellent demo Mike ! 73

Thanks for the video Mike, any idea on real life power draw while on Rx with the scope on normal ?

Thanks Mike it seems we do like the same things :D this video for sure made me chose the FTdx10

Could you please help me with something. I have been searching everywhere to see if the ftdx 10 has the VC tuner in it like ftdx 101D has. It is the VC-tuner that makes the 101D so fabulous and everybody wants it. They say the little brother 10 edition it’s also good at tuning in a station I cannot find any picture that shows the VC-tuner on the ftdx 10 Version. Do you know anything about this could you help me please

I have one off these radios and totally agree the filters are just the best

Excellent video. The open music and voice sounded like Porcupine Tree (prog band) returning to their 90's period

Nice rig Mike 👍🏻 I think you can directly drive an external monitor too which is a plus 😀

Sounds like there is some colouration in the external speaker which is disappointing ?

Got mine in April past, great rigs but not without the odd issue. Currently sitting looking at mine which has developed the weirdest of faults of late that I cannot source an answer for on Google. Works great then 15mins later in RX i get what I can only describe as a blast signal hitting an 9+ then radio instantly reverts to zero, full loss of signals on bandscope follows. I'm then sitting with a dead ear, 3 diff antennas tested direct, factory reset done and no joy, looks like a call to Yaesu on Monday. While its away getting sorted though I'm going to spend a bit of time copying a few of your own, Calum's & Tim's small garden antennas so every cloud silver lining and all that hihi. Great KZfaq Channel's btw. 73's MI7WPX

Nicely done Mike

the best bits are: 1: External monitor, I use a 5" monitor under the PC screens so I can see whats going on. Radio is to my left and behind me. 2: Remote keypad, I have my call-sign set up in two different phonetics. I just play on the PC and press the buttons, if they come back i grab the mic. Made my own. 3: DNR , works great. 4: shift / width for cutting down noise. 5: waterfall display, great for seeing the difference between noise and a signal. Think thats about enough for now. How do you find there ext speaker, looks nice but does it sound good?

I got one before I passed my foundation ~ love it ~ M7CCZ

Just a comment. The DNR settings, 1, 2, etc. are not levels like RF gain or audio gain is. Each one is a discrete, and different, noise reduction algorithm, i.e. mathematical formula. I find 5 to be a good general algorithm for the noise I commonly encounter. 3 is also useful. Others are tried on occasion for different types of noise patterns. Experimental trial is your friend.

Though the acronym IPO represents Intercept Point Optimization, we prefer to think of the option as: Internal Preamp Off - which seems to help with quick realization that when selecting the button ON its actually shutting OFF the preamp 🙄

Mike, the Beat Cancelling filter was specifically developed, at my request, to deal with music being played on the 38. Though that was common knowledge,it must be in the manual somewhere?

Thanks Mike Can you explain what Display averaging is that people seem to want Yaesu to implement in reviews? 73 Rob G3RCE

On my old Ft890 and FT990 when you turn the IPO on it bypasses the RF amplifier stage so the receiver is in normal mode and to engage the RF amp the IPO must be turned off..

Hello Mike, considering just the receiver, is the Ftdx10 better than the TS890S? Thank you

Great run through Mike. Might have to let the 7300 go.

What antenna do you have connected to this rig?

haha.. I was just about to ask you Mike if your Kenwood was up for sale, since your new DX10 was the best radio you have!! lol.. Nice bit of kit, btw if I had a ts-990s I would be a bigger sad git then you!

Press and hold the step/mch button at 9 o'clock by the vfo it will light up orange when activated . and the outer vfo ring will then step at 1 k steps . Hope this helps mike seen as yiu did this video a while ago you may have already figured it out

Amazing radio a bit to complex for me maybe in the future when I get a lot more experienced 😉

I love 1000 times more my Kenwood 830M natural sound that you will not find with the Yaesu

YMMV, but for SSB I can quite easily 'listen through' most QRM without such filtering being essential. My ear/brain seems to like a wide-open passband, at least for voice signals.

Most cathartic….new subscriber…😉

The intro was very Jeremy Clarkson 😂😂😂 👍👍👍

you answered my question right off the bat. no 2 meter or 70 cm do not want it. and do not know why they do this. and how is this better than the 991a which I want more and more everyday with the 2 meter 70 cm added. why these radio company's do this boggles the mind.

Nice.........

Sounds like your smitten with it Mike, have your sold the 890 ?

DNR my favorite button!!

I'm not a fan of the current generation of Yaesu HF rigs. However, I must say they have certainly done an excellent job with the DNR Digital Noise Reduction. It's quite outstanding.

welcome into our yaesu mids brother Mike. This is Brother Rob PD0ROH with a FT991A and a FT3DE. 🙏🙏

A very Clarksonesq Intro to the vid Mike. 😆 A good own view of the radio and that it is good, but not that good......

19:30 There is no such thing as a "Hert", Mike. :-) It's Hertz, even if it's only one Hertz. Imagine if the German dude Heinrich Hertz was an Englishman named David Jones, would you say "One Jone" or "One kilo-jone"? :-) Great video by the way. 73!

The Yaesu ftdx-10 great trx!

is that a windows 98 3D?

Digital notch filter....Helps eliminate hetrodynes LOL Jogging your memory :)

Hey Mike, did you know that you can fly to a contact's signal in the waterfall by just touching the signal on the screen?

This looks like it could be a great first radio for me with the adjustable power & the USB port. Thats if I pass my exam next week anyway haha

Ftdx10 or ur Kenwood ???

Intoxicating Mike de GM0CQV

Do you like it better, or is it better than your TS 890? Great not review! 73

Thanks Mike great radio Peter G0LVG

Getting my FTDX10 in a day or so .

"It's the most [****] radio... ...in the world." - JC I'm just not sure what the [*****] Unique Selling Proposition (USP) actually is. Lacks 2m, lacks 70cm, lacks back-illuminated buttons, too much emphasis on watching the pretty picture.

Nice Radio

You forgot to mention that it covers 4m when discussing bands Mike.

Dx10 vs 7300? Any opinions?

Im thinking about replacing my 991a with one. Or keep the 991a for 2/70 because I don't have anything else for 2/70 ssb

Love my ftdx10 but a few things irate me with it. 1st the screen input timing being first. 2nd the insert SDR card error. Christ my newest rig as soon as it reboots from downloading it’s asking to redo firmware. 3. My press buttons all locked up today and i reset it and had to unplug the mouse & reboot rig to get them back ? First time that’s ever happened. Still a Yaesu fan boi and even got a second one as a back up possibly Mobile ☺️

Kill the Funky music next time.

It’s the best I’ve owned, the receiver is night and day up against my FTdx3000 and that wasn’t a bad rig. Yes there are some niggles that some have reported and I’m sure over time a lot will be sorted with updates. At the price it’s fab, i don’t need a dual receiver. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 73 M0AZE MIke
