Yaesu FTdx101MP: Unboxing and Setup (video #1 in this series)

Описание: #hamradio #yaesu #ftdx101

My great friend, Joel Shannon, KC4WZB, has helped out my YouTube channel once again. Joel is responsible for making the FTdx10 video series possible. Now he has loaned me his “flagship” transceiver, his FTdx101MP, so I can shoot a video tutorial series for that great transceiver. The remainder of the videos for this series will be available for S7 (Executive) and S9 (VIP) members via Patreon.com/N4HNH.

Also note that I will mainly cover topics related to functions that the FTdx10 doesn’t have, so as not to be redundant. Ironically, there are a couple of features that the FTdx10 has that the FTdx101MP doesn’t have, such as a 3-band receive equalizer and the ability to record both sides of a SSB QSO. Otherwise, the two transceivers are so similar that I will try to avoid topics that are already covered in the FTdx10 playlist, except when I need to point out the differences in placement for certain controls. I must prioritize since I only have the FTdx101MP for a limited time.

Note that most of the operating techniques I show and teach on my channel can be applied to other transceivers, even other brands of transceivers. Some knobs or buttons might be labeled differently but the function is the same. I have no allegiance to Yaesu. No manufacturer makes a perfect radio. They all have strengths and they all have weaknesses. I like to point those out. Yaesu thinks that I am targeting them, but I am not. In fact, they generally have the fewest weaknesses. It’s just that I want my viewers to know the good, the bad, and the ugly, so they can make informed purchase decisions. I am able to be objective because I have no allegiance to a particular manufacturer. My work is supported by private donations, via www.PATREON.com/N4HNH.
