- This is a brief video to test and discuss the External Display Settings, The Memory Card Formatting, and Testing of the Keyboard and Mouse Functionality.
These were all questions I observed on the FT-DX10 Facebook Group: / 2729037923979475 - Věda a technologie
Thanks for making these videos on the FTDX-10. It’s great to get different angles on the rig.
Good afternoon, how do I connect the mouse and keyboard, I can't get it to work, please
Thanks for sharing this information. It’s really interesting SDR radio
Couldnt wait any more. Ordered this rig today. Im a 47 year old that feels like the night before Christmas. Ive got the 991, but this 10 is a perfect fit for how I use my HF rigs.
Enjoy! Congratulations! I am hoping to put out another video tomorrow morning or this afternoon on the FTDX10. Good luck!
You've been a very good boy. 991A and the DX10....excellent setup.
I have 991 too, but want to get 991a or ftdx10
I'm curious, is there any specific reason ham radio operating systems look and feel like they are 20 years behind? I thought that all these rigs would be more like a customizable PC by now, both hardware and software, with open APIs so you can hook into the OS and create your own custom software build, custom widgets, screens, extend the base package even more, and upgrade your processor, memory, graphics card, and not have this ancient 800x400/32Gb SD card, DVI, RS-232, and various DIN i/o on the back.
Is there a way to scroll thru the frequencies with the mouse or keyboard?
What would be great if you had a memory for different mic settings.. IE.. Mem1 for standard mic, Mem2 for desk mic and Men3 for a boom mic.. It's a pain having to go into the menu setting everytime you change mic..
I’m always learning something from your videos. Thank you 🙏 . I’d like to see how you connect an external ATU. I’ve heard that the FTDX doesn’t interface easily with external tuners and many ATU manufacturers are not yet supporting the rig. I have a LDG AT600 ProII that I would like to use, but not sure how... Keep up the great work. Regards; Will, M0LGW
I think I have a couple external tuners I can do this with, thanks!
Yes but how do you actually connect the external monitor to the radio, on what port and with what cable?
There's a DVI port on the back of the radio. I just purchased a DVI to HDMI adapter at Walmart for 12.95. plugged it in to the back of the radio and the hdmi cable to my monitor and enabled the external monitor in the radio settings
Question: Plugged in a mouse, cant see any pointer? any help ? Thanks. W4EMB
I'd assume the mouse isn't supported. Is it wired or wireless? I've seen a lot of reports of wireless mice(?) not working. I was able to get a m185 working, but others couldn't. Could be a different version of the M185. But first things first, if it is wireless, I would consider a different mouse. Best wishes
Hi Dude, I know it's some time ago but what sort of capture card did you use?
Dude, do you feel it's a deficiency that the external monitor isn't higher resolution?
With more physical space did the image seem jagged at all? Opinion?
For personal use would you tend to use an external monitor or comfortably rely strictly on the internal screen? Use Cases?
External Monitor availability on the ftdx10 seems a big advantage over the IC7300, but at a price.
Thanks
I am not overly concerned about the external monitor not being a higher resolution .Would it be nice to have the higher resolution, but it doesn't bother me too much. I will say, I tend to rely more strictly on the internal screen due to space issues at this location. I do understand the IC7300 vs FTDX10 concerns a lot of people are having. I love my FTDX10 for the great audio filtering, The CW decoder (which can be tricky), and certainly the ability to hook up a monitor/mouse to the radio. The Audio Filtering was a huge reason for me to upgrade from the 7300. With a bit of work on the original firmware, Yaesu will probably have good success with this radio. . Hopefully this helps you a tad.
@@HAMRADIODUDE Thank you it does....73
@@HAMRADIODUDE I purchased a new ViewSonic 20" 1920X1080 Monitor W/ DVI & VGA for $ 90.00 and it looks prefect @ that resolution. Make sure to use only DVI-D 24+1 Male to Male Cable as Yaesu Recommends for the FTdx10 a DVI-D 24+1 Male to Male Cable. NO "HDMI to DVI Adapters" As They Are Not Compatible and may damage the EXT. output. BestBuy has that Monitor for the same price..
ViewSonic VA2055SM 20 Inch 1080p LED Monitor with DVI & VGA $90
Ohhhhh, thats a good looking radio.
Question for you , I am having trouble installing usb drivers , keep getting error message. You must install before connecting radio correct?
Great question. I installed the USB drivers from the Yaesu website after I plugged everything in. However, I have heard of people in groups.io do it before hand. What error message do you get?
@@HAMRADIODUDE No equipment or something like that on your system ? I was able to get them on my other laptop after many tries. I will go back and try some more on my shack computer.
Did you do anything to activate the mouse? Ive plugged two in and got nothing. Just to clarify, does the cursor show up on the radio, or just the monitor screen
Nothing special. The mouse works on both the external and on screen, if I recall correctly. John Kruk (I believe it's his name) from yaesu said these radios were only designed for wired mouse and support for wireless devices may vary. I have since this video, seen a lot of new models of wireless mice, not work. However, the older ones seem to work
A little more frequently*
After the format, did it go back to the SD card menu automatically? Mine sits at the "Format Complete" message forever and I have to hit a button to get out.
I think mine would do that also. I ended up selling that radio :( to fund a flex. But as a recall, that did happen
@@HAMRADIODUDE Figured my issue out. SD card was flaky if radio connected to USB. Disconnect and it works great.
Hey Dude just stop by to watch you video again. Saving up for this radio. If I want more watts have a amplifier for that. So just keep plugging away on my 991a. Still thing about using it portable

I just got my FTdx10 today and tried to format a Sandisk 64GB Class 10 SD card that I had. No joy. So I headed to Amazon to order a PNY 32GB like you mentioned in the video. I can always use the 64GB card elsewhere.
Ah, it was worth a shot! The max card size is 32gb with the ftdx10, as far as I know. I hope you're enjoying it!
Mine is on the way, sweet. I really wish my ftdx 3000d had monitor and mouse capabilities, pshh go figure. Anyway just to confirm, you cannot change the frequency with the keyboard?
I cannot remember. I do not believe you could. Good Luck with the new radio!
I tried 5 different mice trying to get it to work. Every time I plug it in (either USB Port) it locks the unit up. The only one that worked was an Amazon Basic mouse but the pointer jumps all over the screen. I ordered a M325 and it does not work either. I am taking one last ditch effort and try the 185 you recommend. Gee you would think a mouse is a mouse but not with the DX 10. Guess you just lucked out when you grabbed up the Logi 185. Hoping this works for me.
Hi Dennis, sorry for the late reply. I think I discovered why my m185 mouse works and others have issues. I believe it has to do with how old my m185 mouse is (I believe i got it in the mid 2010's). I believe the older m185 mice have a different chipset in them, most likely. I am hoping you were able to find a working solution.
Thanks but I played it safe and got a wired mouse and it works great.... talk about old school.... ha ha.
Excellent radio very informative video. Anthony O. Ridlen KC9QVE Marion,Indiana
Thanks, I appreciate it!. I'm going to have some more videos soon. Decided to take a few days away for the Christmas time
Watched your video and bought the Logitech M185 worked as it was a lot cheaper than the M310. Plugged the receiver into the FTdx10 and it does NOT work. In fact, it locks the rig up as none of the buttons work and you have to reboot the rig. Wired mouse works fine. Maybe you have different firmware ?
I think the reasoning may be different hardware inside the m185. the FCC id on my m185 is jnzmr0085. I would guess it's about 5 years old
same thing happened to me, bought the M185 as mentioned in this video and it locked up the rig and won't allow me to access the menu system. I will get a wired one and try.
Man I gotta pick one of these up, really cool stuff
Good morning! Definitely some great features. I suspect the price will go down in 6 months.
Hoping you will compare FT710 and FTDX10. Looking to buy first HF rig
Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to. I cannot afford it and the retailers and manufacturers won't loan me the radio. I'm sorry to say.
Looking for the tx expansio mod...caps/mars mods?
Good day, I mentioned in the Facebook ftdx forums that it would probably be one of the last things I do because there is a risk involved, whichbefore documenting, I'm not willing to take. Once I get more documentation, I'll definitely consider it. Thanks for the comment and understanding
Did you have the numlock turned on you keyboard? Maybe that is why you could not enter your freq?
Hello, it was on. I did also try the regular numbers. I haven't tried it since the firmware updates, maybe I'll give it a shot again. Thanks!
No worries just talking from experience. LOL
Well got a M-185 (M/N0087) and it just flies on the edges of the ft-dx10 screen. Latest firmware. So something is different between your FT DX10 and mine.
Interesting. I'd assume it may have to do with the resolution size? What monitor are you using. I can't test anymore as I sold the radio to fund the flex
@@HAMRADIODUDE tried with and without external monitor. Ext monitor at both resolutions. Wired mouse works. I’m thinking Logitech rolls out quiet revisions of their dongles. Some work, some don’t. Picking up an M310 locally today but know some can’t even get that working. Enjoy your Flex. Thank you for all the work you put in this great channel. 73
@@Aimsport-video I'm sorry, for some reason I was thinking monitors. Yes there happened other reports that the newer m185 mice don't work. I must have an older one. I don't remember exactly where and I'm not near a computer but there's a groups.io for the FTDX10 and they talk about the different wireless mice that work. Hopefully that gets you in the right direction buddy
@@HAMRADIODUDE thank you. Scored an M310 locally, plugged it in now, and it works. 73
Can the Keyboard be used to send CW ??
As I recall, no (maybe the cw memories). I no longer have the radio, so I cannot test. I ended up selling it to fund my flex. Great radio though.
Got that green screen back!
I did!

What wireless mouse you use? Not all work apparently
Logitech m185
I have tried 3 wireless mouse including a brand new M185 with a new battery. Is there a setting somewhere to activate those USB ports? Tried both and reset the rig. TIA
Sorry to hear it's not working for you. I didn't have to do anything special to get it running. It is my daily driver for my computer and I just unplugged it from the computer and plugged it into the back. Nothing special I had to enable. I did yeah a blackweb mouse, which did get detected, bit improperly navigates (bwa18xxxxx). I'd avoid that one. Can you confirm if a wired mouse is working? Just want to ensure its not a USB issue
@@HAMRADIODUDE pick one up later today and try!
What capture card do you use ??
I was using a dvi to HDMI cable into a cheap Amazon HDMI capture card. I think it was about 18$ USD.
What capture card are you using? 73
Hey there, sorry for the delay, I've been away. I am using a camlink 4k. I had it stored away from another project and figured, hey why not. but it works fairly well.
Can you use a wireless mic ?
That's a good question. I have not tried any, but I have an idea. Clay County Radio Club recently made video on syncing a wireless mic to (I believe) the IC7300. Maybe I can try his technique to see if it will work.
@@HAMRADIODUDE thank you saving my $ toward 10/101d.
How do you “attach” a wireless mouse? 73 Tom KC3QAC
If it will work, plug in the usb port to the back of the radio and turn on the mouse.
Shame on Yaesu for not building into their radios a one way circuit (think diodes)... that would stop voltage from getting back into their DVI-D ports and destoying the DVI-D port on their new radios. I would bet that newer production runs of these Yaesu radios would have a corrected blocking circuit instlalled.
Hey man.. do you see when I made this video? How the hell did you want me to know what Yaesu had on their hands? I don't work for Yaesu and I am not a physic. I can't be expected to keep up on everyone of my videos, updating every single thing that happens.. 11:06am 3/23/22, I dusted off my Yaesu ftdx10 with a microfiber cloth. McGuire's works great!
What about the mars tx mods....open tx up
Good day, it would probably be one of the last things I do because there is a risk involved, which before documenting, I'm not willing to take. Once I get more documentation, I'll definitely consider it. Thanks for the comment and understanding
