YAESU FTdx10 Safe External Monitor,NEW & CHEAP!
After reading about the horror stories regarding this radio as well as the FT 101D and maybe the ft710 i thought I would try and take the risk out of using DVI-D to HDMI Converters and source a DVI monitor that wasn’t expensive but still readily available.
Here is the link to the AOC Monitor from Amazon:

Thank you ! This video will probably save many from the problem ! 🙏 . Yaesu besides choosing a stupid Video connector (although mechanically much better than HDMI !) totally screwed up the job electronically ! but worst of all is the LACK OF ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE DANGER OF CHIP DAMAGE ON THE MAIN BORD IN THE FABRICALLY CONNECTED MANUAL ! . Great radio ! and here such a blunder . Greetings GL & 73 ! 👍👍👍👍

You can use a hdmi monitor as long as your dvi d to hdmi lead is unidirectional and not bidirectional. The fuse that blows in the radio is a surface mount and not a conventional type.

@gtretroworld Жыл бұрын

You could but those are normally USB powered and most folk won’t be using anything like them.Also by the time you pay for that cable this monitor is not a lot more. I see recently this fuse issue has been addressed in the FT710 with the use of a Polyphasor resetting fuse as well as a bit of ESD protection.

Definitely not worth the risk. The issue is hdmi straight through cables wont block hdmi bi directional voltage comands that a modern tv might send into the radio. I think some hdmi only monitors might be safe but im not finding out. I called yaesu on my new ft710 and like the 10 they recommended either use dvi d monitors or some sort of multi converter box unit. I picked up a dell 19 inch pc monitor from local goodwill thriftstore $7.49 and a $12 dvi d sheilded 10 foot cable from my local pc recycling store. Ive noticed on my 710 the resolution is ok on monitor but not as sharp as radio. Good video and similar prices in states on amazon. 73 from kg7hvr

Hello, sorry not sure of your name, but I just wanted to say I bought that exact model for use with the FT-DX10. It works perfectly.👍 One thing I wanted to ask is that on 15m and 10m I get some noise due to the monitor. Have you noticed this issue? I have used one ferrite clip on, but it still quite noticeable. Any thoughts? Many thanks. Nik

Hi Nik,No sorry i get zero interference with the monitor,infact up until last week it was perched on top so very close indeed. I’m getting a lot of noise during the day but that’s off the Solar panels or inverter since i put the beam up but that’s another story. If you lift it well out of the way does it die down?

This isn't so much noisy, but very noticeable when looking at the waterfall.
