Yaesu FT DX10

By now probably most everyone has read Rob Sherwood's review of the new kid
on the block, the Yaesu FTDX10. It has pushed the IC7300 out the door for
the best bang for the buck place. What I was most interested in was the
phase noise of the radio. It is minimally down to at least -148db. That is
where the 7300 falls flat on its face. Additionally, so does Yaesu 450D and
991A. Those 2 radios are one radio shack radios. I know this because I own
both of them.

$1700, what a great price point to recommend a new ham that wants a contest
grade radio that he can build upon. Seemingly, based on the Sherwood stats,
the FTDX10 would work well in a 2 radio environment. That would beg the
question, would they be ideal for an SO2R setup. $3400 for 2 radios and add
a $100 to $300 dollar controller and you are GTG. WOW! Granted the radios
do have many shortcomings when it comes to a full contest grade radio but
for the most part they, could be an excellent choice. The problem with
field day is that tons of people have Ic7300s and they are a disaster at
FD. The FTDX10 should solve all those problems being low on phase noise.
Maybe our FD ops will be much easier and if the rigs were FTDX10s. We shall
see.

Where the FTDX10 falls flat is in a few areas that can be worked around.
The areas that they are deficient are, one antenna port, no rx antenna
port, nonstandard plugs for ALC and PTT lines for an amp and other
associated station accessories, such as amps, sequencers, etc, and
ofcourse, no diversity receive capability. My all time hate is the RJ45
connector for microphone input. And, I don't believe it can do dual watch.
It is either VFO A or B not both. This is what I can gather from the
literature in the trade brochure.

All except, dual rx and diversity can be worked around. At this price point
this is an excellent box. It is about the same size as a current K3S but a
bit shorter in height. There is an optional CW filter/narrow banpass filter
of 300 hz but I have no idea the steepness of the cut off for that filter.
Plus there is an adjustable rise time feature that allows the user to
produce an undesirable cw signal. This is one of the big negatives that
Yaesu incorporates into their radios.

Same size as a K3S, built in Pan, Video out, 3 usb ports, SD card for DVR
recording providing record on fly and 5 memory bands, 5 built in CW memory
slots, optional outboard keypad to key DVR and CW memory banks, with all of
these features, this now is the best bang for the buck and the rx surpasses
the K3S spex plus the DNR and filtering is astounding in Yaesu radios. Heh,
even the cheapest 450D DNR function can eliminate 40 meter alternator noise
in my F150 when I run mobile. It is even better in this radio, most likely,
because it is generations better and an SDR. It weighs 13 pounds, did I say
DXpedition or travels well. That is yet to be seen. Some of the main
mechanics of the main tuning and bezel knobs might cause some worry. Time
will tell. The radio is made on a cast aluminum frame much the same as the
991A. My 991A has been abused, mobile, salt water ops, special events, FD,
camping, portable from picnic table...still works great. I have used it on
FT8 for days at a time running 80 watts. No problems. Now that I am retired
and home, the 991A has been relegated to 2/440 operation only. I just might
sell it and raise money for my new FD radio, the FTDX10.

The real issue with this radio is, the K3S used prices might just have
dropped another $500. The K3S is nearing the EOL time and the replacement
with better RX stats and a pan adaptor included with no extra cabling or
boxes fitting into the same size as a K3/K3S for Less than 1/3 of for the
most part what a a full K3S/P3 with video out would cost. Yes you would be
missing a few features but for the most part, Yaesu has hit it out of the
park with the FTDX10.

Have I turned the dial on one, put a set of cans on my head, operated CW on
one, in a word No. I might end up driving to Ohio to take a listen to one
at DXengineering, if they are open (post Covid 19) and see what all the
hubbub is about. Dollars and cents wise, almost 3 FTDX10s can be had for
the price of one K4 base model. As with all Yaesu and Icom products, the
first offering is to recoup R&D, and what the market will bare. My guess is
that it will stabilize just as the 991A did, which was initially MSRP
$1999, I am thinking down to what it is now, $1199. So that would within a
year, put this radio dropping to compete with the 7300 at about $1200 for
the Yaesu. Even right now, I would choose the FTDX10 over the Yaesu, hands
down. It is just a far better radio.

I'm wondering when Elecraft is going to come out with a mid market radio
like perhaps a...KX4?

Best DX and happy Contesting,

Re: Yaesu FT DX10

You forgot the biggest negative; it's a Yaesu :)

I own the FTdx101D and despite its Sherwood rating it's a pretty mediocre and uninspiring operating experience for me. YMMV.

Re: Yaesu FT DX10

I (HF CW/SSB) own a FTDX101MP and disagree with the FTDX101D assessment ,
John.
Using here my YAESU now all the time for 6month. I can state it is mostly
even (DSP!, very small TX PWR overshoot) better than my K3S-P3.
Elecraft pros: QSK is much better in K3S. K3S has good diversity , you can
record QSOs, RX 1 and RX2 are accessible
independently , Main Ant (RX) out does exists. These features are inferior
in YAESU or simply missing.

Re: Yaesu FT DX10

I also consider FTDX10 as addition to my K3 and KX3 because of good
value for money ratio and excellent dynamic range. Another feature that
is found in my K3 and that I will be missing in FTDX10 is the ability
to change AGC slope and threshold.

Yaesu rigs produced over the last several years have been very dirty
(splatter) on SSB, and their rigs have a decades-long reputation for
being dirty on CW (clicks and phase noise).

Re: Yaesu FT DX10

Jim,

You are correct. Some of my neighbors had been giving me a lot of
headaches with their YASU rigs in the past. Hopefully this new one is
going to be a lot cleaner. Just look at its LO noise figures which are
in 150+ dBc/Hz region.

Regarding clicks on CW you are right again. According to the FTDX10
manual operator can choose CW rise time between 1,2,4 and 8 ms. And we
know would it sound like with 1 ms setting.
