Thanks for the great FTdx-10 videos! I have read many posts and comments about the perils of using an HDMI adapter with the monitor. I use a DVI-tDVI cable connection to an ASUS 24" monitor (model VA24EHE, currently $98.89 on Amazon) and a wired Logitech B100 mouse. Works great!

[@ND3N]

Thanks for the info!

Tanks for the nice vedio on DX 10 Ext. monitor. I have a Del monitor ant it has only a VGA socket. So If I use a VGA to DVI D adaptor will there be any problem. Please sugest. &3s and Regards VU2TE Unni

[@ND3N]

I can’t comment on that. I’ve never used a setup like that and would hate to steer you wrong.

[@unnitharakkal2332]

Thank you Tom 73s

[@RobertMacCready]

I see you like AC Log for a logging pgm. If you were just getting into WSJT-x, would you install the AC logging pgm 1st or WSJT-x?

[@ND3N]

It doesn’t matter the order you install them, but you always want to open WSJTx first. I’ve got a video coming out soon that explains why

[@RobertMacCready]

@@ND3N Look forward to the video.

I’ve tried 20 mice on my dx10 but my ft710 works no issue

[@ND3N]

I’ve found that if the mouse needs a driver, like most of the newer ones, then they have a problem. Older, simple mice have no problems….

[@KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-3O4]

@@ND3N well that’s why then I’ll have to try to find a older one I liked that with my 710 works perfectly

[@kennethblackwell1137]

I just ordered one. The monitor and Keyboard scare me.

[@ND3N]

I didn’t want to scare anyone. Nothing to be afraid of now that you’re aware of the issue…

Hi there, very interesting topic you cover. Thank you. I have a question, I have a FT991A and I wonder qht happens if I pub a mouse via an usb a to b adaptor? Will it work or may I break something inside. Thank you !!! (LU1AJO) Hernán

[@ND3N]

I’ve never used a mouse with my 991A. I doubt it would work
