- A quick demonstration of the YAESU FTDX101MP using DNR filters and Dual VFO reception.
Also two YLs keeping me on my toes and a lazy dog that likes to break wind every now and then.
Ive had my 101MP for just over 2 years, wow, what a radio. There is so much to learn and so many things hidden in the menues to make this a better radio. Couldnt be without it now.
Thanks for the comment. It's nice to hear your feedback. Brilliant radio for sure. Have fun with yours and hope to hear you soon
trying to decide between the 101d and 101mp
got to love giggling gigglers. Mine are all grown up... I am thinking of buying this radio in the near future...
They keep me busy with some radio in between lol. Thanks for watching and leaving the comment 73 all the best
I've been using the FTdx-3000 for 10 years , this one looks like something I would add to my wish list. Tnx for the video and 73 from 4z1km
Great to hear your a fellow YAESU op. I love these radios. I hope you manage to add one to your fine collection. Thanks for watching, best 73 de M0YKS
Very nice rig!
Thank you buddy have a great day thanks for watching 73
Good grief the clarity of the audio is outstanding and those noise filters are extremely impressive. I have an old Yaesu FT2000 and "need" to upgrade this having just got my first "decent" antenna ie upgraded from a Cobwebb to a Moxon. Thanks for the overview - I was previously looking at the FTDX5000 as an alternate but your video has made me have a rethink. I cannot abide rigs that have menus within menus. Also in Yorkshire (nr Filey). Steve G4KIV
Hi Steve nice to hear from a fellow Yorkshire man. I upgraded from my FT-1000mp so a similar situation. The difference is tremendous, especially the reception quality. Even without the DSP it sounds fantastic. Yes the menu is very easy once you have had it for a couple of weeks. I now navigate through most features without thinking about it. Still there are plenty of things I haven't messed with lol. You will be very pleased with this radio I can guarantee that if you are progressing from YAESU to YAESU. I do not regret spending the money and I have had mine for 14 months and loving it. Check out the AM DX video on 10 Meter band that I did it's featured on my Channel page. The audio reception on AM is absolutely amazing you can hear it for yourself. I got lots of recent videos using the FTDX-101mp where you get to see it in action on many bands and modes.
Congratulations on the new antenna. You should boom out from Filey. The cobwebs are very good as well, I have one in the shed. An original G3TPW COBWEB antenna made in Malton. 73 good luck in your decision.
Nice piece of kit Simon
Thanks Alan, I love the fact that it's so easy to operate. I just need a digital filter for the dog when he breaks wind lol
@MØYKS - Ham Radio Yea I have no sense of taste or smell but when I had dog farts could bring a tear to a glass eye..I'm running a ic7610 now love it but must say the noise cancelling on the mp is excellent..
@@alandavis5255 great stuff on the new Radio enjoy it buddy. I have a great receiving nose and to make things worse the other hound has entered the room and is also firing some 5/9 + Fart RF double trouble 🫥
Very pleased with mine, though I did have a hiccup on day 1. The "missing" filters arrived today so will fit them tomorrow, I figured that although I don't need them I will be keeping the radio a long time and will use them. (Narrow CW filter in sub receiver and 1200Hz filters in both receivers). A USB mouse and external display does make the menus far easier to navigate. Very happy with the connectivity, I am using a Raspberry Pi for my remote operation so far. 73
The raspberry pi remote sounds interesting 🧐. I have a raspberry pi running ADSB aircraft tracking. Never thought about using one for remote, cool. Sorry I took so long to reply. Glad to hear you also really like this radio. I have now owned mine a full year and find it extremely nice to operate with. Best 73 have fun de Simon M0YKS
What software are you using for remote operation?
@@Drpepper99uk For basic control of the Pi I use XRDP, for voice I use Jarec and I run WSJT-Z on the Pi too. Undoubtedly not the perfect solution but elegantly simple hardware.
What a brilliant set up. By the way, I just got the FT Dx 10
Hi Chris congratulations on your DX10 awesome 👍 I hope to catch you on it soon buddy 73
i hear the 101 and the dx10 handle noise really well mate
Hi Paul yes it is amazing on receiving well worth getting. 73
Great radio Simon... hello girls! Seymour ZS1CPT
Hi Seymour thank you bro. Have a great day. 73 catch you soon
very nice
Thanks buddy I hope your still loving yours! best 73.
Love the size! I've been using a DX10 for the past 6 months and it's a bit fiddly. Great performance, but too cramped for old sausage fingers :D I can see that you're not going to have that problem with the 101MP..... beautiful rig!
Hi Martin good to hear you are loving your DX10 great radio 73 buddy. Maybe you can connect to an external monitor
@@M0YKSHamRadio I wouldn't go as far as saying that I'm loving it! lol It's more like a love/hate reationship but what it does well - it does AMAZINGLY well, so I let it off for having poor ergonomics.
It is connected to a 28-inch monitor, but the rig's 5-inch touch screen isn't the issue - it's actually very good!
The problem I'm having is that the physical controls are too small and cluttered around the VFO. I keep knocking it off frequency or hitting 2 buttons at once. The volume/RF gain knob is in a silly place too... bottom left of the VFO, so the VFO (which sticks out too far) gets in the way if you're a right-handed operator.
The point I was trying to make is that 101 has much better ergonomics because it's a LOT bigger - which is a good thing. 👍
@@2E0RME ok I get you, yes small controls are a pain in the arse lol I have a FT-817 that I barely use because its too small and crammed. Yes the 101mp is well constructed but is also a lot more money lol. Your comment probably will help others to make a choice regarding this. Its good that you have described it well. Thanks and hope I hear you on the air sometime so I can give you a signal report. I haven't found anything so far not to like about the 101mp and I have had it since the beginning of September so a few months now. Good DX bud and thanks again for commenting. Cheers bud.
@@M0YKSHamRadio The funny thing is I have an 817ND and 2x FT-818. I love them so much I have three in total! :D I have no issues using them, so I don't know what that says about the DX10 🤔 Catch you on the bands.
Hi. Same on both radios. 101 is larger but has knobs of 2 receivers so it still has same problem. I have used lock button because I also go against vfo dial. It's too big I think. Have you tried usb mouse with your external monitor? Maybe it helps little. I also have yaesu network interface box but it's not useable with radio in same room because it has 1 to 2 second lag. Tried straight CAT connection to computer with usb cable for CAT commands and small usb SDR dongle for waterfall display and it works nicely. 101 has 2 outputs per channel. Only thing is software must send freq commands over usb to change freq on radio when changing in software.
I want one so bad! -Landen KQ4LNZ
Hope you get hold of one soon.
Yea, I hope so I'm 14 and cant really have a job, ham radio is just a expensive hobby.
@@KQ4LNZ cool that you're a ham. Nice one. You will get more equipment in the future it's hard at your age but keep going with what you have and hopefully some more equipment will come your way
I'm not Jealous ...Just giz it Simon. Fun as usual ... keep it up
Nice one John, fun, laughter, farts and DX what a combination. Catch you again soon mate. 73

Nice one James I will keep a watch out for you. Good DX buddy thanks for watching and leaving a comment and you also got a very good radio there. 73
My current radio is the FTdx3000
Nice radio my friend I hear a few guys sound well on them. Tnx 73 good DX
Nice from NX2O
Thank you Rick, I hope to hear you on the bands soon buddy 73
I'll give ya a shout on 20metre if ya about on a Sunday morning. I'm in Newark
Nice one man yes I am usually on Sunday morning it would be cool to work each other 👍
What is opinion on the FTDX-101MP, mainly the V-Tune and roofing filters for added quality of noise reduction and additionally the 200 watts, dual tuner and power supply speaker add to a better experience? If the V-Tune and roofing filters are not as helpful for added ease of hearing then the FTDX10 maybe the best choice?
I totally love this radio, the reception is amazing without the filters with the PSU speaker. I use the DNR and occasionally when required the NB. They work as well as they are supposed to and cut out noise amazingly well. I use the filters on minimum settings as the SDR processed signal is cleaned up really well. I have found the VC tune very useful when a very weak DX station is getting splattered by someone nearby. It works especially with the shift and width adjustments and DNR. To get the signal you hear in the noise to sound crystal clear this radio is incredible in my opinion. The tuner works well on all bands and it puts out 200 watts with no holding back or overheating. You can check everything with a lot of touch screen features - multi meter options. There are many different screen display choices you never get bored. The display is so large I have not bothered to hook up an external monitor it looks spot on and is easy to navigate. I have a couple of amps and used to run 400w with my other radio FT-1000mp but since I got 200w with a built in auto tuner I am up and down the bands so quick these days, I dont have to tune up any amp etc. The audio works very well so the 200 watts has been plentiful over the last 15 months of using it. I feel I got what I paid for a YAESU Flagship radio that has earned its reputation by producing this model. its ace! hope it helps you decide.
Nice radio there buddy I've subbed to you what phone or camera do you use for your videos pic quality is good thanks in advance from Nottingham 73s my friend
Hi bud, thank you for subscribing and watching. I use a phone which is a xiomi note 12 pretty cheap compared to the other brands but decent if not better. Cheers 73
@MØYKS - Ham Radio thanks for the reply well its doing a fabulous job have a great weekend buddy 73s
Does this thing offer binaural audio, where the receiver shown on the left would have its audio directed to 'stage left', and the receiver shown on the right would have its audio directed to 'stage right'. Either two speakers, or of course a stereo headset. A left-to-right aural soundstage is not the same as simply left and right audio, with one receiver crammed into ear (which is too crude). Using DSP, create a sound stage, left to right (and more if you wish to get really advanced, up and down, even behind...), and present the audio arranged across the sound stage. It's such a simple technology (getting close to copy and paste DSP code), and so few designers take advantage of it.
Even within a single SDR receiver, it would not be difficult to have multiple signals within the passband decoded all at once (multiple "BFOs" in DSP SW), and then presented aurally on a left-right sound stage that is aligned with the spectrum display. The human brain can use the 'Cocktail Party Effect' to separate the multiple signals.
Crikey, it's 2023 already. Get on with it.
I like the comment but it's sounding more complicated than my crude brain can decipher lol the option for two speakers and two mic inputs is available with this radio. I only have the one head and single mouth 🤣 so probably not so useful to me. It's a pretty cool piece of kit but limited by my ignorance 😁. 73 thanks for your time and input
Do you feel any diffirent hand mic and your m-70 ? have you TX Audio sample ?73
Hello Mehmet, both work well but the M-70 is much nicer to operate and gives a clean strong audio. I will record a sample via an online SDR next time I get chance and post a comparison. Best 73 good DX to you.
What happened to your ft1000 mk v?
It's still in the shack above the FTDX101MP. Now a back up radio.😁👍
Beautiful ❤ g0dxh
Thanks buddy catch you on air again soon 🙂
In the USA some of are ham radio closed down Kenwood not put any radio on the market so is yaesu and icom going out of business we lost kenwood
That is bad news I didn't know about it. Not sure what the future is for YAESU but do hear plenty of Hams around the world with new YAESU rigs, I imagine the sales are going well. Not owned a ICOM or Kenwood so can't really comment on those. Hopefully ICOM are still doing well. It's all mail order over here as we don't have many Radio shops. We used to have Radio Shack and Tandy and Maplin which were all good back in the day. It's rubbish when they close their doors.
Nice... very tempted... although the XYL may not be as keen... Hey mate were you able to upload the live recording when you worked me a couple of days ago, I was hoping to hear what the station sounded like from your side.. good luck good DX and stay warm. Very cold here in WV. 73s Will W8BFO.
Hi Will thank you for watching and stopping by. I had a problem with the video I promised to upload it crashed and I lost it for some bizarre reason I was not happy 😁. It means I will have to work you again and do another one. Sorry! You sounded great as well. 😎. Hope you manage to sweet talk your XYL into it lol. I will be looking out for you and hope to hear you again soon buddy 73
@@M0YKSHamRadio Ah no issue buddy, yeah I love your videos - I actually watched one of yours many months ago related to the Hustler trap dipole, that's what I ended up buying for the home QTH, its doing well and I must say it soaks up the RF well. I had one of the DX Commander fishing pole antennas which is still showing on my QRZ page, which finally cracked and fell down about 10 months ago, so I was out to replace it since the DX Commander is more of a temporary antenna. Anyway no issues at all on he video issue and upload, since you were the 1st contact running 900 watts with the new amp I just wanted to see how it was performing :) Alright I will keep my ears open for you and keep up the great work with the video channel. 73s and good DX mate!!!
@@thedutydoctor thanka Will, Great to hear you have the hustler vertical that will last you a lifetime for sure. Really well constructed antenna with great performance. I use mine on 40m and it booms out. You sounded well the amp is working spot on. I'll be on again tonight and over the weekend so hopefully bump into you again soon buddy. Have a great day many DX and best 73
