Here is the brand new Yaesu FTDX10 ham radio transceiver. This is actually tweaking my interest after playing with it. Thanks to GIgaParts.com for loaning me the radio, and this is only the first video of this unit this week. Stay tuned this weekend for the shootout side by side with another radio, using 2 identical Chameleon MPAS 2.0 antennas on the river and some of the Vero Beach club members making contacts with it.
A super receiver and spectacular filtering/DSP options, make it a big box contest style rig in a smaller footprint with a more affordable price.

Nice to see this! I'm waiting for mine to arrive on Tuesday! I had originally ordered a 7300 but it was on backorder and I changed my mind after looking through the specs. The dx10 is expensive but really seems worth the money. Both of them are cheaper than the last accordion I bought, so that made it not seem so bad!

I originally wanted the 991A but it was out of stock at dx engineering it took too long so I studied the dx-10 and changed my mind I'm so glad the 991a was out soo long this dx-10 is incredible I'm so happy it was out of stock so long or I would have got the 991a

Many years ago, when I lived in a townhouse, I put up a simple GAP vertical antenna. A member of the HOA complained. I argued that the antenna was properly installed/guyed,etc and not a danger to anyone or anything. Eventually, they waited until I was out of town and hired someone to go up and take down my antenna and throw it in my yard. Never again will I live in an HOA complex/neighborhood.

A woman I worked with had an hoa. Her garbage were fenced in but a neighbor saw a tree over the 6 foot fence. We live in Buffalo and my friend took it as a sign that a Lemon Tree rooted next to her garbage can IN BUFFALO, NY. Not a lot of lemon, orange, banana trees growing in the northeast. They waited till she was at work and the hoa came in and removed. It literally destroyed her. HOA's suck when they get carried away.

Fun and informative video! I met you and John at 'Hamcation 2020'. The FT-DX10 is a sweet radio and I'd definitely love to have one. Right away I could see where this radio would be a competitor to the IC-7300. I have owned two IC-7300's and loved them 100%. I like their filtering and intuitive operating features. Indeed the best bang for the buck. Sorry, but he FT-DX10 isn't twice as much as the IC-7300. It costs $700 more and the additional features on the FT-DX10 would be worth it. Whatever your budget allows, either radio is a winner! Thanks guys for a look at this impressive rig.

The 7300 NR isn't as good as Yaesu's. I love my 7300 too but the audio on it is very harsh sounding compared to even the FT-891 with no DNR. The filters on the 7300 are also not as good as the 891. I think Yaesu may be on to a winner with this + it's got monitor out which is missing on the 7300, I got the PTRX panadapter and I have it hooked up to the Airspy HF+ and it sounds a lot better but the cost of this was mad but I already had the 7300. Definitely thinking about getting rid of the 7300 for the DX10. It's funny though, I'd never think about getting rid of the 891 it's just an amazing radio for it's size.

@@torpe1 I don't know the Icom transceivers very much but I agree, it's not a replacement for the DX3000. It fits to a new generation with the hybrid SDR design and seems as an entry / mid level transceiver of the Yaesu family, right between the 991 and the DX101 I would say. The DX3000 has its very own place and it's still awesome as well as not equipped with newest "state if the art" technology. However, I thinkt both receivers are great, sharing different technologies between the classic superheterodyne and direct sampling SDR. The hybrid SDR design surely is a good compromise for a fair price tag.

Awesome video, I definitively will buy one. But I will wait because I was so disappointed by my FT-991, one of the first delivered in France. I had to change the final stage, the tuner never worked properly and the update to A version was a €700 proposal. It is now only a C4FM / BLU station on VHF. What a mess of time to fix it and update it.

HI , great video . If I remember correctly , the IC 7300 started out at 1595. So I imagine after a year the price will start to drop as did the 7300 . I have a 7300 and at the time it was $1329 with the $100 rebate $1229. And now its $1099 after rebate $999.95 . I like the FTDX10 a little better just because of the filters and being able to plug it into the PC monitor . But unless I win the lottery , I'll have to wait for the price to come down with maybe some factory rebates . Eric , keep up the good work . Steve N0SLT

The 3D perspective is better for showing time. As signals are displayed the further time elapses the further to the back the signal trace is shown. It has its usefulness in crowded conditions identifying interfering signals, plus keeping an eye on the noise floor working the receiver front end.

With FT-891, FT-991, and FT-991A, you must run the DNR at 9 or more, to avoid the digital artifacts that make it sound like you are listening under water. But it works very well at 9. Also, minimize the noise in the front end of the receiver, with IPO, ATT, and/or RF gain. The FTdx5000 and the FTdx10 have DNR algorithms that don’t produce the under water sound. FTdx101D/MP, as of the April 2021 update, has the same DNR performance as the FTdx10. 73, de N4HNH

Just a minor quick correction to the price discussion occurring at 23 minutes into the video. The 7300 lists for $1299 (the current Icom $200 in-store discount coupon ends 12/31, thus the price reverts to $1299 on 1/1/21); the FT-DX10 lists for $1699. So, the Yaesu is not twice the price of the 7300. Hope this helps those comparison shopping features and value. As noted in the video, both are excellent radios.

With the great audio filtering and external monitor, Yaesu could drop the price closer to the IC 7300 and give ICOM a good run for the money. BTW, what is up with the DVI video interface?

Huge difference between FT991a and FTDX10 - the whole architecture is different. Superhet all through vs superhet first and then direct to SDR hybrid, that means you have much quieter noise floor, much better roofing filters, and better full digital tx/rx enhancements. Even Elecraft is going to the Superhet front with SDR Hybrid combo in the higher optioned K4 with the FTDX10 being a fraction of the price. Think about that last one, it means a lot.

@jamesmackinlay4477 3 жыл бұрын

Yaesu is going to sell a lot of them for sure but with the economy the way it is now who knows I have a FT-2000 which also can clean up the receive just as well because it also shares the same filtering as the FT-5000 it is the little brother to the FT-5000. But I must admit the FT-DX10 has a great display and a lot of features that I know I would use when the price comes down a little I will have to pick one up.

@mikes6844 3 жыл бұрын

Just bought one, spent several hours getting to know it and it needs several hours more. What I’ve discovered is that some of the negative things about the ergonomics can be overcome by alternative means - the multi dunctional ring! If I have one major gripe it’s the tuning knob is so easy to accidentally move freq. My FTdx3000 had more buttons but new advances in technology and the ever important price point means I have to also adapt. The receiver is something else, let me repeat ‘something else’. DNR is quite something and I have to check the antenna is plugged in on some bands as it’s that quiet. Hooking it up to an external monitor really completes the square for me, it looks and feels great. 73 de M0AZE.

I'm not an expert, but I believe the draw is twofold: 1) you may be able to get a better dynamic range, more easily. 2) the waterfall display shows not just what's happening now, but what happened several seconds ago, so it's easier to locate a CQ that just happened but is currently quiet.

I am about 26miles from where that GMRS call sign resides. Hoping I can hit your repeater no problem! Any ETA????

I think that this RIG might it be a good option for a second RIG , But the question is if the IC7300 is a better option than the FT-DX10 or not

Lets be honest, the 7300 is a good radio and Icom packed it with features back when it was released but at the expense of receiver performance and audio quality. The Audio sounds harsh compared to my FT-891 which sounds really good with headphones, I always listen with headphones. I got the PTRX panadapter and use it with the Airspy HF+ and SDR console and it made a big difference but It was expensive when you add it all up but I already had the Airspy HF+ and the 7300, I'd never advise anyone buy all 3, 7300, PTRX and Airspy, you're be at the price of the DX10.
