Thanks for the video. Very interested in the 101D. Can you please do a tripod video and go through the menu's? A nice 15-20 min walk through. Curious about the CW decoder. Appears to be a great radio just want to see waterfall 2D speed and customization options. Very excited to see another great radio. Currently feel the 7610, 890S, and now the 101D are great options in the mid tier. If only I was local I would have been there already for a test drive. FYI - love my 7610 just like variety.
One more question.... I have not seen any information or videos about the 101D's abilities in regards to CW Encode/Decode. Is this possible? I know the new Kenwood 890s has that capability along with the older 3000. Does the 101d do this?
Today... A demo of an HF radio is just to see the screen, the fancy colors, a fast moving waterfall window, a bandscope etc.... I remember the good old days when we could just hear how the radio is transforming radio waves into sweet BF AUDIO ! Let's hear the real thing, I don't mind having colors on a 65in LCD screen.
Seems to me it would be difficult to use the outer tuning ring without changing the main vfo. Wish the scope had averaging on it. It’s my only grips. Just hate to spend a lot of money and be disappointed ☹️
Mark.... can I verify something with you? I am understanding in your video that you have the 101D hooked up to a computer monitor AND also to a larger screen on the wall? you mentioned doing this through the USB jack? SO BOTH? Both at the same time? very cool if this is the case.
I have checked out the configuration of the FTDX-101D in our retail location. The capability of the FTDX-101D to utilize two displays is attributed to an external HDMI splitter/switch. The switch we have in line is a 4 X 2 True Matrix High Speed HDMI powered switch. The functionality of this switch allows the rig’s display to be split into two signals, and therefore, be displayed on two different screens simultaneously. On its own, the FTDX-101D does not allow for dual displays.
I did not like the 3D scope, I found it very fast, very colorful .... have option not to use in 3 D format ?? please also wanted to see a video with kenwood TS 890 test,
The only thing I just don't understand is why hook up a monitor when everything your seeing on the transceiver is the exact same thing? Looks cool, but what purpose does it serve unless you half blind?
Being able to lean back in your chair, relax while having your mic in your hand, and not have to strain your eyes to watch all that HF goodness and yeasu intelligence at work.
Robert Nagy I personally think Yaesu builds better performing radios than Icom, a lot of guys are digging the IC-7300. I thought I wanted one, but after hearing a lot of eham.net reviews, it sounds like the receiver has a lot of room for improvements. Others say it's really noisy in confined areas. I feel like I've "grown out" the Christmas light displays and prefer to "hear and be heard" as the number one reason to own a radio, not bells and whistles. I love my Yaesu FT-891 for ssb phone. It's very Yaesu-ish menu wise. Easy to operate. Cheers!
I hear you Scott. Luckily, we have plenty to choose from. I've been Icom heavy for many years, but I own a couple Yaesus and a Kenwood. I disagree on the scope though. Once you have "sight", it is impossible to go back. The Ic-7300 is a break through in price/performance because it IS an SDR. The scope is small, but it is fast and usable. Almost everyone suffers from local noise these days. You won't be able to enjoy a RX that is super-quiet unless you live way out in the country. Almost all of the current HF offerings provide superb HF performance...you really cannot go wrong with any of them.
Robert Nagy you are right about lots of good choices. What works for one guy, might not for another. I'm excited about what the future holds for ham radio. The Yaesu FT-857 was a truly remarkable radio in its day. It can surely be updated now, but when it first came out, it was "space age" compared to radios from older generations. Back during WWII, a radio with basic controls would take up a whole truck, just for a radio and batteries. Now a radio with way more power and features can fit inside a small and tiny backpack. I like the fact that Icom and Yaesu compete so heavily.. That's good news for radio geeks! I would like to see Kenwood step up a little more, and innovate better, and be more affordable. It seems like they have been coasting a little, and not taking it as seriously as I would like. Am I wrong, or missing something here? 73
@@om2tw , Richard with the 775DSP you can put different filters in for receive, and wow talk about quiet receive you can't beat it. I change out one filter I can widen my transmit audio. Put a Heil mic on here and it's unreal.
No redeeming qualities? I liked that 3D display. Interesting not only to see the current band but to see the recent history also. I like this presentation better than a waterfall. More intuitive to me. I'm trying to remember an old piece of software that used to do something very similar. Oh! Wasn't it one of the WinAMP used it for visualization? It was interesting to see the various instruments and timing. I don't know about the receiver's other specs but I'm hoping this is more than eye candy. I'll be digging deeper.

Please review the YAESU M1 microphone for use with the FTDX101.
Fantastic radio and nice video. Now I just have to sell my FT-950 station so I can make the upgrade.
How is CW operation on the FTDX101D?
thanks for showing it live looks great de vk3ktt

Friend , Mark please really wanted a video demonstrating the functions of Radio Kenwood 890S ... please
Split with the outer ring might be useful but it seems a bit difficult to operate. Quess the split can be set with some easier ways?

Wait - you can hook up external displays using USB? Or DVI?
Hi Great short review Thank you for that. I would like to know how it works in cw with low signals and noise "HI" is an unknown. 73 ..
How is the noise blanker?
Great - But why not show it actually receiving an audio signal ???
How much is the darn thing? All of it together?
7200 is not the frequency you want to have on your demos, just saying
To think radio has become a thing to watch

Thanks for getting back to my question. I appreciate it! I will definitely look into this. I like that set-up.
that 7610 is a bad boy.

This waterfall looks like slideshow..
I don’t see the coolness of the outer ring. They should’ve just put a second VFO knob for the second receiver.
Steve Bynum and where would they put it ?

The 3D seems gimicky. Can it do traditional spectral display with averaging and color fill under the trace?
Bob Nagy I think the 3D feature is kick ass. I just don't think I'll ever afford the FTDX101d
@@scotthansenmtbt4110 I hope I "see the light" about the 3D display. Firmware updates will come fast in the early stages.

I just didn't like the speed of the 3D mode.
IC-775DSP with the right filtering would kill this radio. Then again it's better then 97% of radios. 🙂

3d is the bomb...I think not... time has proven its little more than a toy feature.... most owners dont use it.
