Thank you Daniel. I am new to the hobby and the FTdx10 is my first HF transceiver. Although I have the operations manual in my language (German), such a video is really useful, for example to remind me of what the STEP/MCH button is for - because this is something I was missing when using the device. :)
I have owned many radios over the last 30 years, but the FTDX10 is the best I have ever had. I bought one and was amazed with it but became frustrated with how tight some of the buttons were to the VFO knob. Just as you pointed out it is hard not to bump the VFO knob and knock the radio of the selected frequency. I sold the radio. In just a few days I sorely missed its hot receiver and filtering. So, I ordered another and now I compromise by using a stylus to operate the buttons near the VFO. I can't say enough good things about this rig. Buy one!
I felt the same way when I first bought this rig. I preferred the ergonomics of the IC-7300. But I just couldn't let it go because of its great receiver. I'm used to it now and don't notice the button placement anymore . . . kind of like rearranging your bedroom; after you run into the furniture a few times during the night you get used to it and its not much of a problem :)
Good video. You only showed some highlights of what the radio can do, but what you showed is very informative. I had some questions before I watched you video and you actually answered all of my questions. I have the FT-710 now but I think I am going to upgrade to the 10 shortly. Nice video and nice radio.

TY. I also like the FT-710. It doesn't have the analogue front end like the FTdx-10 (so you can't put in a CW filter for example) but it's a great rig as well. Can't go wrong either way in my opinion. Cheers, Dan
First licensed in 1969 and after being away from HR for over ten years, in 1998 I bought a used TS-940 which had been introduced in 1985 because it resembled the traditional superhet large radio design. Now fully retired in 2024, Im looking at the used 2012 rigs like the IC-7600, FTDX-3000 etc but for similar money the FTDX-10 outperforms them and the visual display blows them away. May just go overboard and buy one of each!
The buttons are tight around the dial but you can easily lock the freq. knob if you're prone to fat finger it.😁 You get used to it over time so it's really not a deal breaker.
you suppose to use your right hand to control the buttons around the dial and your thumb will press the button on the left of the dial and will not interfere as you said with other knobs. the Yaesu FTDX-10 is designed to perfection.

Excellent video Daniel, no flashy showmanship, just get to the meat of the subject, so refreshing!

Great to the point video!
Thank you! I can't stand long overdone introductions
I have an icom-7300. I just recently bought the dx10. I love it. Don't get me wrong, the 7300 has a lot to love as well. It's nice to have them both.

Brand new Ham here. Does this radio require an external power supply? What antenna would you recommend for this? Thanks so much for any insight.
The buttons are tight around the dial but you can easily lock the freq. knob if you're prone to fat finger it.😁
You get used to it over time so it's really not a deal breaker.
You got the EXPAND function the wrong way round but cool review.
Are the buttons backlight
No
Good intro to the dx10. But it's the FT-710 that intrigues me now. Probably a very similar interface?
The 710 is a budget radio. Not on the level of the dx10 performance.
Nice rig, drawback is no rec ant input
If you upgrade on the software, the band selection will hold longer...
Good to know!
Yep, yet still to short.
OMB button?
It's QMB for Quick Memory Bank. This is a band stack function.
