Yaesu FT-DX10 ~ Setup N1MM ~ CW Computer CAT Menu Control Settings
New Yaesu compact HF and 50 MHz 100W SDR Transceiver available in December 2020.
Functionalities of the top line models in a smaller form factor transceiver. FTDX10 is going to utilize the Yaesu Hybrid SDR Configuration.
FTDX10 Price has been announced by Yaesu Dealers in Europe and Canada but not yet in USA since still missing for FCC Approval.
FT DX 10 Features
15 separate band pass filters
Effective QRM rejection with the IF DSP (IF SHIFT/WIDTH, IF NOTCH DNF, DNR, COUNTOUR)
High-quality and super stable final amplifier utilizing the new push-pull MOSFET RD70HUP2
Aluminum Heat Sink with 80mm low-noise axial flow cooling fan
High Speed Automatic Antenna Tuner with a large capacity 100-channel memory
RF & AF Transmit Monitor
Microphone Amplifier with Three-stage parametric Equalizer (SSB/ AM mode)
QMB (Quick Memory Bank)
Band Stack Function
Optional speaker - SP-30 designed for the new FTDX10
Optional roofing filter (300Hz) - XF-130CN available
Hybrid SDR Configuration
Like the FTDX101 series, the new FTDX10 utilizes the Yaesu Hybrid SDR configuration - Narrow Band SDR and Direct Sampling SDR. The Narrow band SDR receiver emphasizes excellent receiver performance, while the Direct Sampling SDR provides a Digital Processing Real-Time Spectrum Scope.
Narrow Band SDR
Narrow Band SDR with 3 types of Roofing Filters and Phenomenal Multi-signal receiving Characteristics
Like the FTDX101 series, the Down Conversion type receiver configuration with the first IF at 9MHz has been adopted. It makes it possible to incorporate excellent narrow bandwidth crystal roofing filters that have the desired sharp “cliff edge” shape factor. Thanks to the Narrow Band SDR with the latest circuit configuration including 500Hz, 3kHz and 12kHz roofing filters and low noise oscillator, the RMDR (Reciprocal Mixing Dynamic Range) reaches 116dB or more, the close-in BDR (Blocking Dynamic Range) reaches 141dB or more, and 3rd IMDR (third-order Intermodulation Dynamic Range) reaches 109dB or more, in the 14MHz band at 2kHz separation.
FT-DX10The New Yaesu FT DX 10 HF / 50 MHz Transceiver
High Resolution Direct Digital Synthesizer
250MHz HRDDS (High Resolution Direct Digital Synthesizer) affords Quiet and Clear Reception
The local circuit of the new FTDX10 uses 250MHz HRDDS method same as the FTDX101 series. Thanks to its characteristics that improve the C/N (carrier to noise) ratio and the careful selection of components in the design, the phase noise characteristic of the local signal achieves an excellent value of -145dB or less in 14MHz at 2kHz separation.
3-Dimensional Spectrum Stream
3DSS (3-Dimensional Spectrum Stream) on the 5-inch Full-Color TFT Display with Touch-Panel Functionality
The 5-inch Full-Color panel shows the 3DSS display. By touching the frequency display, the numeric keypad is displayed, and the active band and frequency adjustment can be set by direct input. Frequency setting and adjustment can also be performed by turning the MAIN dial or touching the scope display. Similar to the FTDX101 series, the MULTI display, RX operation status display, Center, FIX and Cursor modes are available.
Front Panel
Front Panel Designed for Superior Operating Efficiency
Front Panel Designed for Superior Operating Efficiency MPVD (Multi-Purpose VFO Outer Dial), is a large multi-purpose ring around the outside of the VFO dial that enables control of Clarifier, C/S (custom selection function) and recall of memory channels.
Remote Operations
Remote Operation with optional LAN unit (SCU-LAN10)
Remote operation of the new FTDX10 is possible with the optional SCU-LAN10 and SCU-LAN10 Network Remote Control Software. In addition to controlling the transceiver basic operations, the versatile scope displays enable sophisticated operation such as monitoring the band conditions on a large display at a location away from the ham shack by connection to a home LAN network.

Absolutely the best done tutorial for Amateur Radio I’ve run into to date. No long verbose unrelated introductions. No hubris. Just a fellow ham who figured it out AND shared the knowledge. Perfect. In my situation the USB to USB would not work. Fortunately I also bought the USB /CAT cable (FTDX-10 manual reference page 14, item 12 that has one USB end and the other “funky looking” end - check the diagram pic on page 13 labeled “12”.) My comm port numbers were different as can always be the case. But now it works effortlessly. Thank you for your editing and camera work also - easy to see and follow you with the help of the pause button. I immediately started going on the air and stopped. Just had to send this comment before playing. I owe you. Great job! De kr4bg/Matthew - Virginia- ex Wb2lar.

Hi Tom, DTR and RTS are lines that are set high or low as needed to allow serial comms, these are originally from the serial port RS232 comms DTR Data Terminal Ready, RTS Ready to Send, the 9 way serial port on the device is a cut down verson of the original 25 way RS232 serial interface, so in short, this is legacy serial interface terms, still in use, with the Yaesu USB, hope this helped in some way. Seems the firnware still uses, if needed Thx for this Video, 73

Thank you for saving me a weekend! After spending a couple hours on the N1MM official instructions I was able to control my rig but not send CW. Did not know about the PC Keying setting on the rig (okay, I should have, I'll admit it but nonetheless, I didn't). Tnx for showing me that and the rest of the settings. Now I'll figure out how to slow down the sending speed to my normal snail pace and I'll be set! 73, Wayne de K4WK

Just watching this video to learn about cat cables and my new ftdx10. FYI - DTR (data terminal ready), RTS (request to send) and there is one called CTS (clear to send). These are serial port methods from way back to determine if your port is going to send data or to wait. Usually one is setup by the manufacturer to sync with both pieces of equipment. The computer can do all of them, but likely, the setup and drivers for the radio may be limited.

RTS and DTR refer to the RS232 control lines. www.electronics-notes.com/articles/connectivity/serial-data-communications/rs232-signal-voltage-levels.php. The FTDX10 series works best with just USB control, especially with wsjt-x.

Thanks for the video I was interested because I have the FTDX10 and I am new to N1MM. Well its working thanks but the cw speed does not match the cw send speed on the radio. Any idea how to match the cw keyspeeds together

@michaellundy6481 2 жыл бұрын

Am I correct in understanding that you were able to use N1MM+ to key your rig w/o any external (e.g., MORTTY CW, WinKeyer, etc.) keyer interface? I've been trying to copy what you did using a SERIAL (not USB-Serial) cable. I've been able to trigger the rig's TX light, but not to actually key. Also using FTDX10. I may have to go the USB cable route.

Witaj, fajny film. Mam pytanie, czy możesz pomóc w prawidłowym ustawieniu FTDX10 i N1MM do pracy w RTTY? Ja ustawiłem N1MM z FLdigi do pracy w RTTY, jednak po włączeniu nadawania w radiu włącza się PTT i jest nośna, ale nie ma modulacji. Próbowałem różnych ustawień, ale nic to nie dało, może Ty możesz mi coś podpowiedzieć w tym temacie.
