Hi Tom! Thanks for the helpful video to get my new DX10 up and going - 73 from W8CBG in Columbus, OH!

Awesome video once again Tom. You always give awesome step by step instructions in a slow and precise manner. Some of these videos others put out on RU-vid, They end up rambling way to much and end up explaining things at to fast of pace & jumping around to much instead of a methodical step by step approach which you always do which is easy to follow. Thanks for all you do, I am getting ready to pull the trigger on Yaesu FT-DX10 and looking forward to more of your videos on setting it up for Digital modes, especially FT8 with the DX10 & WSJT-X. 73 KV5O

The next video is the dx10 WSJT-x set up. Got the outline sketched out and just need to set up the camera…. Something to look forward to…. 73

Thanks so much for your video. I unexpectedly ran into a gently used still under warranty year old Yaesu FTdx10 for what I consider a great deal. It should be here in a few days. The rub is I’m a new HAM so drinking out a firehose here 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂. I was hoping to find a step by step series of videos that walks me through everything. I was very happy to see this video. I’ll watch and rewatch it.

@ND3N 3 месяца назад

No problem. You may want to also check out N4HNH’s series on the DX10 …. He’s a bit further along the curve from me…. 73

@@ND3N will do, I’m going to be doing a lot of cramming before she arrives but it’s exciting. I couldn’t find your recommended stylus in the notes. Do you mind sharing what you purchased? I’ll have them ready when the new family addition arrives. Thanks again! KE8YSI-Lonnie

Just don't let yourself get overwhelmed. Baby steps... Set a goal to learn one thing about your rig every week and before you know it, you'll be the expert...

@gauthig1 17 дней назад

Hi Tom! Since you have both the FTDX10 and 991A, how much better is SSB receive and clarity over the 991A? I am really thinking of upgrading as I have a separate UFH/VHF radio I can use now.

@ND3N 17 дней назад

The difference is night and day. About the same with the FT-710, but my best, and most recent addition- FTDX101MP blows all of them out of the water. In short, I think you would be happy with the DX10…

@RobertMacCready 17 дней назад

At 4:30 you tell us to look at the ports menu (com and LPT) and you say to make note of the com ports. I see only one com port. COULD that be that I don't have the computer hooked up to the radio? And if I do hook the radio to the computer, I will SEE these com ports?

@ND3N 16 дней назад

Yes.

@@ND3N Hey Tom, Got a new FTDX 10 arriving tomorrow. Hoping all goes well and that the FT8/4 will be up and running. Live in an HOA and have a Palomar OCF/dipole up across a couple of palms. Thanks for the info...de KQ1K

@ToiToiTrimmer 3 месяца назад

Thanks for that. One quick question - if you are a few updates behind, do you just need to do the latest update or all the missed ones ?

@ND3N 3 месяца назад

Just use the latest update and you’ll be fine

@roberttharp1463 22 часа назад

Tom, I’ve worked through the settings and cannot get CAT to function. The audio settings work fine. I’ve tried it with two different PCs with the same result. Any suggestions? KR4VT

@ND3N 15 часов назад

let me watch that video again with my dx10 and see if I forgot to include anything. I’ll get back to you in a day or so.

@jonthebru 3 дня назад

How is the audio? I am selling an FT-891 because I just haven't been able to get the audio right, it's too tinny.

@ND3N 3 дня назад

I’m actually getting ready to release a video on setting the DSP equalizers. Should be posted early next week

@azarellediaz4892 2 месяца назад

4:43 Hello, I did the install but the Com Ports you mention are NOT on my device manager. Does it matter that my computer is a 64bit design? Or do I need to connect the radio for them to show up?

@ND3N 2 месяца назад

With your device manager open and the ports tab up, unplug the usb cable from your rig - reinstall the drivers - then plug it back in. Your port numbers will probably be different than mine as they are dynamically assigned by your computer. Let me know if this resolves your problem

@azarellediaz4892 2 месяца назад

@@ND3N then my suspicion is correct, they don’t get assigned until the rig is hooked up the first time. I will do that when I get home, thanks a million for the video and answers. PS: I bought this rig used, is there any way, through the computer or otherwise, to copy the changes the previous owner made along the way before I got it just in case they worked better than my “final” adjustments?

@hamradiofrequencies 3 месяца назад

Your videos are always very consice. You leave out no steps. Don't find too many "Old Codgers" with your tech savy. Don't take offence, as I'm an Old Codger as well 74 ;-)

I appreciate that!
