My good friend Joel, KC4WZB, loaned me his brand new Yaesu FTdx10. When I say loaned, I mean he picked it up at Ham Radio Outlet and brought it straight to me, so I could unbox it and shoot a series of videos, exploring the capabilities of this latest offering from Yaesu.
This is the thirty-fourth video in a series of videos I have produced to show the capabilities of the Yaesu FTdx10. In this video I show how to assign the MPVD function via the Custom Select button. There is also some bonus footage about the advantage of SSB modulation versus Amplitude Modulation (AM). The Waterfall display can be used as a great visual aid to illustrate the difference between USB and LSB.
WARNING! At the time this video was produced it wasn't yet widely known that certain, if not most, DVI-D to HDMI adapters could cause damage to the FTdx10 video output circuit. As radios were returned to Yaesu for repair, it was determined that the adapters used were back-feeding a voltage to the video output circuitty within the FTdx10, causing premature failure. I DO NOT recommend using any adapter. Find a monitor with a native DVI-D connection and use a DVI-D to DVI-D cable.

Thank you! I am an amateur operator for 45 years who just got his first SDR (well, superhet SDR). I chose the FTDX-10 over the FT-710 since I am a CW op, and with the current promotion of $200 rebate, the 300 HZ CW filter was basically free and most reviews favored the FTDX-10 for CW. My last new radios were an FT-857 for mobile and a Ten-Tec Orion for HF, both long gone. I have been mostly QRT for the past 10 years operating remote stations (with a computer) with some home QTH use of my son's Elecraft K1. Thus, SDR's, waterfalls, etc., are a new world to me, and this video is SO helpful not only for explaining much of this but also giving clues to the C.S. button, the MFVD ring, the front end IPO, ATTEN, etc. The functionality/price of these radios (and I include the IC7300) just blow me away. I will check out your other videos. I don't do subscriptions, e.g. Patreon stuff, but if you do "Buy Me a Coffee", I will - de KE5C

Brilliant. Thank you. This is helping me decide on a new rig after 23 years with Ten Tec.

Another very interesting topic to apply with my FT DX10. Noted and learned on the SSB signal on the left and right distinguishing USB and LSB. You Did it N4HNH

Excellent vidéo ! Fred from Paris, France

I find the IPO very useful as per the manual in relation to frequencies below 14mhz. Keeps the noise low.

This is my very first receiver since getting my general ticket, and gotta admit I really like it. But your video sure makes things look/sound nicer! I appreciate your tutorial. Dumb question, but how do you change bands? What antenna do I need to be able to change bands? I currently have a JPC-12, so I have the coil on a specific band. Thank you for your help.

Thank you for the video. I saw your waning about HDMI but Yaesu put out a video showing how to hook up to either a monitor (DVI to DVI) or to a TV (DVI to HDMI). Does your information say that using a HDMI under any circumstances could damage the Radio? Thanks again
