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 second in a series of videos I will be producing to show the capabilities of the Yaesu FTdx10. In this video we take a look at the receive audio equalization and shelving options in the FTdx10.

Thanks a ton for this invaluable series of videos. I picked up the DX10 at the Dayton Hamvention a few weeks back as my first HF radio. As a new HAM (and new Extra!) I went from being lost in the manual to up and rolling on the HF bands with your real-world practical guidance. 73! W8CBG
I'm glad you found the videos helpful. There are 97 tutorial videos and around 40 scenario type videos for the FTdx10. The complete video tutorial series is available to S7 and S9 Patreon members, at: www.PATREON.com/N4NH
Thanks for the useful and instructive videos. It's nice to be able to go back and watch the videos as you learn to optimize the radio settings. It makes the learning-curve more manageable.
Glad you like them!
Thank you my friend. That was very informative 👍
I just got one of these radios and I'm having a ball with it! You're videos are super helpful in navigating the complexities of this new machine. Thanks so much!
You’re very welcome! I’m glad you find the videos helpful. It is my goal to help my viewers get the most from their radio, no matter which radio they own.

You really do a nice job showing how to align the radios vast capability with the signal conditions you are working with. I finally picked up the DX10 a couple days ago and am incredibly impressed with this transceiver. As you said, keep the signal at the low end of the receiver's dynamic range, and use the filter shift, width and a touch of DNR. The results are just amazing. Thanks for showing this off. Maybe I will get used to the 3D display, someday!
I’m glad you’re finding the series helpful. Yes, we must focus on the S/N ratio I became more accustomed to the 3DSS after a few months switching between it and the traditional waterfall.

Thanks Doug, I appreciate you taking the time to do these vids... I have the FTDX-3000D, turned it on a few times, but now I'm all packed up ready to move to my retirement house.. so I'll be able to spend more time on the radios.. will probably get the FTDX-10 soon for the RV. Great info you provided here (although you lost me in the middle) but you explained the first and end part in just a way that I needed to understand and it also applies to the ftdx-3000D.

Excellent series of videos! As a new FTDX10 owner, these are invaluable. One thing I've noticed is that as I set ATT, IPO, RF gain, and DNR to handle the noise floor, the S-meter reading for a signal changes significantly. Now I'm not sure how to give a signal report with the various noise-control features engaged.
The S-meter is calibrated with AMP1 enabled and zero attenuation, at 14.2MHz. Don’t trust an S-meter except for relative readings. I cover how I give S-units in several videos. Some of the videos aren’t public. Videos 1-39 for the FTdx10 are public. But there are 97 total, in the tutorial series, thus far. There are another 40 that are situational - not tutorial. The exclusive content is at: www.PATREON.com/N4HNH
This channel teaches operating techniques. There are around 50 playlists. You can learn much by watching the other videos. There is a Learning Ham Radio playlist. Also, N4HNHradio.com has a training page. Watch the video entitled, “Decibels, S-meters, Amplifiers, and Gain.” Also read the video descriptions. The description for that video shows how I discern S-meter readings.
@@n4hnhradio Thanks very much, I will definitely have a look.
Thanks for taking the time with making these great video. You've helped me make my hobby better than it was with my new DX10. Question: I'm trying out your settings so when I go to using FT4/FT8, do I just turn off the Mic EQ and I'm good to go or do I have to turn everything to the default settings? 73's from N3NQP!
I don’t work any digital but I’m not aware of any issues running digital. Plenty of my viewers operate FT4/FT8. The Mic equalizer settings shouldn’t affect FT4/FT8. Those are SSB/AM EQ settings. There is a mode for it in the radio. It’s the Data option at the lower right of the mode popup.

Nice explanation of the settings for receive audio. How about the settings for TX audio with the Heil Elite Pro 6?
I cover Heil and Electrovoice in my menu optimizations documents. I've created one for each of 6 transceivers featured on my channel. But these documents are only available for the S7 and S9 Patreon team members who join annually. Without their support, you would not have found this video. None of the videos would exist. So I honor them by creating exclusive content for them.
Be great if you can do a video on how to change the ALC for FT8, had near to Zero ALC on FT 891, and for SSB only had the DX 10 a day. thank you 73

Thanks for the videos! Quick question: you said rotate the Shift knob CCW if you hear a high, tinny station. You were on LSB so would it be CW on USB?
It seems confusing but you still rotate the Shift knob counterclockwise to knock out high-pitched QRM, no matter whether USB or LSB. But, if you hear high-pitched QRM in LSB mode, the other station is below you in frequency. It’s the reverse of that in USB mode. If you hear a low “honking” sound, rotate Clockwise. Again, it doesn’t matter whether it’s LSB or USB. But, in LSB mode, the low “honking” sound will be from QRM that is above you. It is reverse of the in USB mode.
So, to make it easy to remember, I just tell everyone to rotate the Shift counterclockwise for high-pitched QRM and clockwise for low-pitched. But yes, where it’s coming from depends upon the mode.

Great vid Doug,
Is there a setting on ftdx10 to have a delay after dekeying the mic on ssb ?? ?
As sounds like I’m missing a bit of the start of the qso !!
There is a VOX delay setting in the Function menu. Are you using VOX?
@@n4hnhradio thanks for replying. NO vox on 🤔
That is strange. Some users have actually asked for a delay for their amplifier. I read that somewhere. So the only delay I know of for TX is the VOX delay. It’s a long shot but I wonder if you are getting some RF into the keying circuit?
73, Doug
As far as the att setting, when I have it at zero, my noise floor is 3-4. When I set it to -6 dB, my noise floor drops to zero. Since I'm starting at around 3, it seems like attenuating by 6 dB is overdoing it a little. Kind of wish there was a 3 dB atten. So, that said, is it better to do -6, or stay with none?
As long as you can hear the signals, stay with -6dB. If -6dB Is too much, use RF Gain.
Excellent video. I’ve been having a problem with mine. Where when I turn it on LSB It almost sounds like they’re on USB. It has a very tinny sound to it. I have to shut the radio on and off to get the audio quality back.
That is troubling. Running latest firmware? Shift knob centered?
@@n4hnhradio yes on the yes on the shift knob and no on the firmware. I’m going to update that tomorrow. Thanks for getting back to me. I love the videos. Very helpful.
The shift knob works in reverse for each sideband. That’s why I asked. Rotate clockwise in LSB mode and you cut low frequencies from the RX audio. Rotate counterclockwise in LSB mode and you cut high frequencies from RX the audio. It’s the opposite with USB.
73, de N4HNH
@@n4hnhradio I did not know that. If it was not set up correctly the shift knob when I turn the radio on and off does it reset that?
Turning the radio off and on shouldn’t affect it. But, the band stacks remember. So, if you power back up to a different band stack that has a different shift setting, that might be. But if all you do is cycle the power and come right back where you were when you noticed the problem, that makes no sense.
Is this for FTdx10? If it is, scratch what I said about the shift knob. FTdx10 a digital encoder and DSP for shift.
Any big nits or fatal flaws for the 10? Nice vid.
None so far. I agree with others that backlit buttons would be nice.

I'd settle for bright white lettering on the buttons/labels. Looks like Yaesu is still using light grey, which makes no sense at all. 73
I just got the ftdx 10. I turned it on today and the tx light is blinking. I can’t tx with I the light blinking. There is a big learning curve with this radio. I really enjoy your videos and thought you might be able to help me out. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. John. AA9SK
A blinking TX indicator means you’re trying to transmit on a frequency that is outside of the amateur bands. Also, if you try to transmit on 60m using the VFO, instead of recalling 60m from memory bank 5, you will get a blinking TX light.

I almost got this rig but got the 3000 instead
The FTdx3000D is certainly no slouch.
73, de N4HNH
The only issue I have with all DNR is To me it harms the intelligibility, slightly. A little too hollow at times. I know you can adjust the the eq but I still find using RF gain can be more effective, even if you lose sensitivity, sometimes NR is not always worth it, just my opinion
I’ve become so accustomed to hearing SSB without noise that I run DNR all the time. With the FTdx5000, a setting of 3 or 4 with RF gain rolled back is perfect.
73, de N4HNH
Yeah, I've found that if I turn up DNR too high, the voices get muddled.
It isn’t necessary to run DNR much above 4 or 5, except for CW. I show that in my CW videos. For SSB, if DNR at 5 doesn’t help enough, I drop DNR to 2 or 3 and use Contour. That is the subject of one of the videos.
@@n4hnhradio Good to know, thanks. Contour is definitely a nice feature!
Here is a link to the video I referred to:

Hello Doug, I am finding DNR level 1 to give very watery/echoey audio. Not at all like the DNR from my FT891. Any thoughts on how to deal with that? 73, John 2E0SVB
The echo sound is normal. Watery is not. I can’t get my FTdx10 to sound watery. With my FT-891, the watery sound is there until setting 9. The same is true of the FT-991 and FT-991A. The FTdx5000MP was the first radio I ever used that had no watery sounding digital artifacts at any setting. The slight echo seems to be a Yaesu technique to mask any residual noise. I’m so accustomed to it that I can’t operate either my FTdx5000MP or my FTdx10 without DNR enabled with a setting of at least 3.
I show in many of my videos that the best technique is to attack the noise first with IPO, ATT, RF Gain, etc. That helps the DNR do a better job. The less noise that enters the DSP stage the better the DNR is at separating signal from noise.
73, de N4HNH
John, I should also mention that I did not update the firmware for my FTdx10. I’m using main version 01-04 and DSP version 01-01. Maybe the newer firmware has a watery effect. I didn’t update mine because I don’t like what Yaesu did to the band-stacking in the newer versions. When you watch the video I made about band-stacking, you will see that mine is different than newer models.
73, de N4HNH
@@n4hnhradio Is it possible to replace the firmware version I have with the version you are using Doug? I bought mine about 2 months ago and from what I can see it has the latest version already installed.
You might be able to get it from Yaesu. But, yes, the Yaesu support tech told me you can roll back.
73, de N4HNH
The trick for ridding much of the echo or watery sound for DNR is to switch the AGC from auto or fast to medium setting. You will hear the DNR clean up.
Thanking about selling my FTDX-1200 for FTDX-5000.
Looking for information and input. Guess I need to put hands on. Have the interface by Yaesu scu-17. Do I need it for 5000. Been looking at HRD. tnxs for all your content
73 KQ4CD
You cannot go wrong with the 5000. If you spend the extra on the mu-tuners, it will hang right with a 101. Plus the 5000 preselectors work on 60 meters. The 101 preselector won’t work on 60 meters. And the 5000 has IPO2, to further improve S/N ratio. Until the most recent update for the 101, the DNR was not as good as the DNR in the 5000.
That said, if you like a waterfall, go for the 101. If you like the ergonomics of knobs, go for the 5000.
73, de N4HNH
losing rx fidelity as a way to improve rx only works on stations which have no fidelity to begin with (are very sharp & narrow)
On stations (being received) which have fidelity /nice passband - losing fidelity on receive has a negative overall effect as the components containing intelligibility are lost.
Narrowing bandwidth is not an all case solution for all ssb signals.
Maybe u cud comment how much of a difference in dnr between the Yaesu models including the 891 since you've spent a lot of time with the 891?
The DNR in the FTdx10 is superior to the FT-891. It is on par with the FTdx5000MP, and might even edge it out a slight bit. The 5000 introduces a slight reverb effect to mask any remnants of noise, which I don’t mind. But I’m not hearing that from the FTdx10. The FT-891 is prone to the watery artifact, unless you work the noise floor down with ATT, IPO, and RF Gain first. To be fair though, I have not installed the latest firmware update for the FT-891 yet. I’m waiting until I have time to shoot a video about it.

What DNR setting were you at around 5-6 minutes in?
I always use 9. I almost always point that out in the videos. Maybe I forgot this time. Any less than 9 and the RX audio sounds like you’re listening under water. It’s the same for all Yaesu transceivers except FTdx5000, FTdx10, and the FTdx101D or MP with latest firmware.
73, de N4HNH
@@n4hnhradio Thank you! I want to try out the settings on my FTDX3000 to see if performance is similar. 73 thank you for the videos!
It should be similar. Yaesu uses a common theme across their product line.
Many of the techniques I show on this channel can be applied to other transceivers from other manufacturers, but others tend to have lower quality DSP units, especially when it comes to DNR. And some don’t even have APF or Contour. Elecraft does, thankfully.
Interestingly, the FTdx3000D uses the same DSP chip as the FTdx5000 and the FTdx1200. They use the Texas Instruments TMS320C6727 DSP chip. The FT-891, FT991, FT-991A, FTdx10, FTdx101D, and FTdx101MP all use the TMS320C6746 DSP chip. Both great chips.

What is fan so laud?
The fan is barely noticeable. It only runs when I transmit for a while. I don’t know what you hear. Maybe the fan in my amplifier or my air-conditioning.
Why was there an ad every 3 minutes?
That’s a question for CZcams. I don’t control that.
You can do much of the same thing with a IC7300. And simple mod of the ALC will give full power output.
When I turn my DNR on, it sounds like I’m at the indoor pool or an echoy auditorium. I can’t understand anything anyone says with it on.
It sounds like you aren’t reducing noise first in the front end of the receiver. And, if you hear an echo, that is the AGC hold. It’s always there, but you won’t hear it until the DNR removes all of the noise. That’s just how effective the DNR is in this transceiver. I run DNR at 3 or 4 usually, after I have reduced the noise in the front end of the receiver. Watch my video entitled “S-meter To The Left.”
@@n4hnhradio I followed your instructions on setting the front end but I’ll watch that other video, thank you for all the help you do!
@PDPIE1029 or don’t use DNR. I prefer echo over noise. I never turn off DNR. I might run it at algorithm 1, but I never turn it off.
Greetings dear friend. It has been the question of many Radio Amateurs in the world and I would like to hear your sincere and technical opinion if possible because this has become a worldwide debate with controversial opinions. Are the new transceivers with Touch-screen technology really reliable? wouldn't they be easier to give technical problems? Or is this a meaningless myth?
Any transceiver can have technical issues. There is not one perfect transceiver made.
The FTdx5000MP doesn’t have a TFT touchscreen. It has OLED displays. But OLED technology has a limited service life expectancy. I’ve seen ratings of 30,000 hours maximum. That is normal for such technology. Running at lower brightness levels could increase the lifespan of the OLED. Mine is still functioning fine, since August of 2019.
The touchscreen displays I have used are TFT type. They might develop a bad pixel or two but, I haven’t noticed any with my FTdx10, which is well over 2 years old. That said, even a TFT display will someday reach the end of its service life.
The ICOM IC-7610 TFT displays have been very problematic. There are widespread reports of premature failures. I read that ICOM switched to a new supplier for the TFT display and they are more reliable now.
If you are looking for a perfect radio before you buy, you might want to consider a different hobby. You will not find a perfect radio. You could buy an old Drake, Collins, Swan, Hallicrafters, Heathkit, Johnson, etc., with light bulbs that backlight the meter and the Vernier tuning dial. But even with that, you will need to replace the light bulbs from time to time.
He doesn't have an ESSB ? There is no 4 kHz ? So this radio is for the trash!
Thankfully, it doesn’t allow a TX bandwidth beyond 3kHz; the agreed upon TX bandwidth limit for SSB. So someone can have a QSO at 7.150 while someone else has a QSO at 7.147. The QSO on 7.147 is not forced to move to 7.146.
This is radio communications, not broadcast. We don’t need more than 2.4kHz of bandwidth to sound good. 2.4 to 2.6kHz of bandwidth provides a good balance between power spectral density and TX audio quality.

@@n4hnhradio Don't put everyone under the same line. You don't need ESSB, but we do! People are different, someone likes thin, and someone likes fat! I don't work in contests and DX. I love ESSB! Guys with a 2.4 ghz filter occupy a range of 15-20 kHz! Because of their unconfigured transmitters such as your FT 5000 or 101 ! You try on the imd3 of your ft5000 ! Measure his suppression of the reverse side band! And then tell me how much space you take up on the range! I can see everything on FLEXRADIO !
I find this video very frustrating. The narrator constantly says, see how this setting change affects the audio... but then continues to talk over the receive audio so you really can't hear what effect he's talking about. Drives me crazy! Why not pause at least a couple of seconds so we can hear the change or effect. I suppose if I had the radio in front of me it might be more educational but I don't. I'm shopping to find out what this rig can do.
There is plenty of videos with the DX 10 doing SSB without interuption, this is a practical demonstration how to utilise the components and elements to make the signal better without noise... it is a great radio just got one also have the FT 891 but the DX 10 is in another league well impressed, imho 73
