Enjoy! Congratulations! I am hoping to put out another video tomorrow morning or this afternoon on the FTDX10. Good luck!

You've been a very good boy. 991A and the DX10....excellent setup.

I have 991 too, but want to get 991a or ftdx10

I think I have a couple external tuners I can do this with, thanks!

Good morning! Definitely some great features. I suspect the price will go down in 6 months.

There's a DVI port on the back of the radio. I just purchased a DVI to HDMI adapter at Walmart for 12.95. plugged it in to the back of the radio and the hdmi cable to my monitor and enabled the external monitor in the radio settings

I'd assume the mouse isn't supported. Is it wired or wireless? I've seen a lot of reports of wireless mice(?) not working. I was able to get a m185 working, but others couldn't. Could be a different version of the M185. But first things first, if it is wireless, I would consider a different mouse. Best wishes

Thanks, I appreciate it!. I'm going to have some more videos soon. Decided to take a few days away for the Christmas time

I am not overly concerned about the external monitor not being a higher resolution .Would it be nice to have the higher resolution, but it doesn't bother me too much. I will say, I tend to rely more strictly on the internal screen due to space issues at this location. I do understand the IC7300 vs FTDX10 concerns a lot of people are having. I love my FTDX10 for the great audio filtering, The CW decoder (which can be tricky), and certainly the ability to hook up a monitor/mouse to the radio. The Audio Filtering was a huge reason for me to upgrade from the 7300. With a bit of work on the original firmware, Yaesu will probably have good success with this radio. . Hopefully this helps you a tad.

@@HAMRADIODUDE Thank you it does....73

​@@HAMRADIODUDE I purchased a new ViewSonic 20" 1920X1080 Monitor W/ DVI & VGA for $ 90.00 and it looks prefect @ that resolution. Make sure to use only DVI-D 24+1 Male to Male Cable as Yaesu Recommends for the FTdx10 a DVI-D 24+1 Male to Male Cable. NO "HDMI to DVI Adapters" As They Are Not Compatible and may damage the EXT. output. BestBuy has that Monitor for the same price.. ViewSonic VA2055SM 20 Inch 1080p LED Monitor with DVI & VGA $90

Ah, it was worth a shot! The max card size is 32gb with the ftdx10, as far as I know. I hope you're enjoying it!

Nothing special. The mouse works on both the external and on screen, if I recall correctly. John Kruk (I believe it's his name) from yaesu said these radios were only designed for wired mouse and support for wireless devices may vary. I have since this video, seen a lot of new models of wireless mice, not work. However, the older ones seem to work

A little more frequently*

Great question. I installed the USB drivers from the Yaesu website after I plugged everything in. However, I have heard of people in groups.io do it before hand. What error message do you get?

@@HAMRADIODUDE No equipment or something like that on your system ? I was able to get them on my other laptop after many tries. I will go back and try some more on my shack computer.

Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to. I cannot afford it and the retailers and manufacturers won't loan me the radio. I'm sorry to say.

I think mine would do that also. I ended up selling that radio :( to fund a flex. But as a recall, that did happen

@@HAMRADIODUDE Figured my issue out. SD card was flaky if radio connected to USB. Disconnect and it works great.

I cannot remember. I do not believe you could. Good Luck with the new radio!

Good day, I mentioned in the Facebook ftdx forums that it would probably be one of the last things I do because there is a risk involved, whichbefore documenting, I'm not willing to take. Once I get more documentation, I'll definitely consider it. Thanks for the comment and understanding

I was using a dvi to HDMI cable into a cheap Amazon HDMI capture card. I think it was about 18$ USD.

Hi Dennis, sorry for the late reply. I think I discovered why my m185 mouse works and others have issues. I believe it has to do with how old my m185 mouse is (I believe i got it in the mid 2010's). I believe the older m185 mice have a different chipset in them, most likely. I am hoping you were able to find a working solution.

Thanks but I played it safe and got a wired mouse and it works great.... talk about old school.... ha ha.

As I recall, no (maybe the cw memories). I no longer have the radio, so I cannot test. I ended up selling it to fund my flex. Great radio though.

I think the reasoning may be different hardware inside the m185. the FCC id on my m185 is jnzmr0085. I would guess it's about 5 years old

same thing happened to me, bought the M185 as mentioned in this video and it locked up the rig and won't allow me to access the menu system. I will get a wired one and try.

I did!

Hello, it was on. I did also try the regular numbers. I haven't tried it since the firmware updates, maybe I'll give it a shot again. Thanks!

No worries just talking from experience. LOL

Hey there, sorry for the delay, I've been away. I am using a camlink 4k. I had it stored away from another project and figured, hey why not. but it works fairly well.

Interesting. I'd assume it may have to do with the resolution size? What monitor are you using. I can't test anymore as I sold the radio to fund the flex

@@HAMRADIODUDE tried with and without external monitor. Ext monitor at both resolutions. Wired mouse works. I’m thinking Logitech rolls out quiet revisions of their dongles. Some work, some don’t. Picking up an M310 locally today but know some can’t even get that working. Enjoy your Flex. Thank you for all the work you put in this great channel. 73

@@Aimsport-video I'm sorry, for some reason I was thinking monitors. Yes there happened other reports that the newer m185 mice don't work. I must have an older one. I don't remember exactly where and I'm not near a computer but there's a groups.io for the FTDX10 and they talk about the different wireless mice that work. Hopefully that gets you in the right direction buddy

@@HAMRADIODUDE thank you. Scored an M310 locally, plugged it in now, and it works. 73

Logitech m185

I have tried 3 wireless mouse including a brand new M185 with a new battery. Is there a setting somewhere to activate those USB ports? Tried both and reset the rig. TIA

Sorry to hear it's not working for you. I didn't have to do anything special to get it running. It is my daily driver for my computer and I just unplugged it from the computer and plugged it into the back. Nothing special I had to enable. I did yeah a blackweb mouse, which did get detected, bit improperly navigates (bwa18xxxxx). I'd avoid that one. Can you confirm if a wired mouse is working? Just want to ensure its not a USB issue

@@HAMRADIODUDE pick one up later today and try!

That's a good question. I have not tried any, but I have an idea. Clay County Radio Club recently made video on syncing a wireless mic to (I believe) the IC7300. Maybe I can try his technique to see if it will work.

@@HAMRADIODUDE thank you saving my $ toward 10/101d.

If it will work, plug in the usb port to the back of the radio and turn on the mouse.

Hey man.. do you see when I made this video? How the hell did you want me to know what Yaesu had on their hands? I don't work for Yaesu and I am not a physic. I can't be expected to keep up on everyone of my videos, updating every single thing that happens.. 11:06am 3/23/22, I dusted off my Yaesu ftdx10 with a microfiber cloth. McGuire's works great!

Good day, it would probably be one of the last things I do because there is a risk involved, which before documenting, I'm not willing to take. Once I get more documentation, I'll definitely consider it. Thanks for the comment and understanding
