Updated my firmware the other day and tried 2 wireless mouse that never worked but now do.. 👍 way way better with the mouse function but also agree about having to push the function button would have been a great upgrade if on the right click..
With the 710, you’re able to right click on the mouse and enter the functions menu. Leave it to Yaesu for their inconsistencies. I have the Ftdx10 and love the radio but it’s a bit ridiculous that the 710 is able to access the menu with a right click and the more expensive radio, you have to press the button.
The FT DX10 is a great rig which seems to be blossoming with the recent Firmware updates. As for the monitor I did a video with a link to a recommended display but it is currently out of stock. Thanks for visiting the Channel.
Logitech M310 wireless mouse works for me, even before the update. I've been told the M185 works now, and that's only a tenner. Mouse with the external monitor was a game changer for me.
Some don’t like the mouse and monitor but like you I feel it was a game changer too especially if you’re sat back away from the radio. Thanks for visiting the channel.
Just updated the firmware June 2024. I have 5 various wireless Logitech mice - 3 of them M510, M550L & unknown do not produce a pointer on the FTDX-10, but work fine on my various computers. A M310 gives me basic movement around the screen, but only about 1 click in 10 gets any response from the FTDX - no scrolling. A M188 works ok, but no scrolling.
@@garym7317 Unsure why you’re getting these issues, saying that i am still using a wired mouse and find it is way more slick than any wireless i have tried.
@@gtretroworldHi pal ..i was going to go for the ftdx10 its a lovely looking rig . I went for the 991A for coverage (vhf/uhf) as well as HF . I broke my warranty by fitting an sdrplay rsp1a inside as a panadapter and replaced the usb port too. It is a bit of messimg about but a lovely wideband display. So the ftdx10 does the panadapter straight out back ? Thanks for sharing .subbed
@@RabMac108AT10sixThanks for the Sub buddy..There is no pan adapter on the dx10,this is basically just displaying from the DVi,ideally a pan adapter would be a good idea for this too but for what i am doing atm it is fine.
Thanks…It is quite simple to update the firmware,when i get chance I will knock a video up as i have a bit of footage somewhere.Did you buy the radio new?
@@gtretroworld Yes bought it from radioworld walsall That would be good if you can knock a vid together i expect it will help a lot of people just starting up amateur radio like myself 👍
@@gtretroworld Well im guessing so but i dont know for sure im just about to take my foundation so im just listening atm I had ssb am fm in the 80's and 90's , ive just decided to get my Licence and do it all properly , so keep those video coming sir 👍73's
Really a broken implementation that forces reaching for controls. There should be a way to bring up Function menu, a way to keepalive the wheel rather than timing out, and a way to hover over freuency digit to adjust range from there, or a way to zero out least significant digits.
After a short period of non use, my mouse goes to sleep. I have to click to get it to come awake. Usually, it's over the scope so it changes my frequency. Very annoying. I wonder if this is a radio issue or a mouse to get it not to goto sleep.
Great informational video. I use the wireless mouse with my FT-710 all of the time. For me it's an asset.
Thanks for posting,

@@northerial With the 710 after you enter the Main Menu with the right mouse button. it then is used as a back function. Real handy. Thanks, Yaesu!
Just bought a FT-DX10, thanks to your video will be connecting a mouse. (once I find a screen with a DVI input) thanks :)

@@gtretroworldgood news about the firmware, I'd sold myself on the IC-7300 but pretty much sold out across Australia until the end of Feb...
Right click to bring up the function menu would be great. A click to bring up the band menu would be BETTER!
Yes that could be a useful too, basically making use out of it would be great.

A great video and I do need to buy an FTDX10 not bought a new HF radio since 2007, I do like the look of that Neil 🙂
Thanks Dave,Seriously it is a fantastic radio for the money.Tbh i am still finding my way around it but definitely recommended.

I cannot remember if you have a DX10 or is it that i am just tempting you…😁

Every update is an improvement but they need to listen to the operators. A recent update to the FT710 has fixed the issue so fingers crossed.
I got the m 330 it better work
@@KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-3O4 Excellent, i plan on doing a bigger series of videos featuring this radio as even after a few years it is hard to beat.
I've trod like ten mice no luck
Seriously, I can’t understand that buddy, latest Firmware?
IS IT OK TO USE DVI D FROM THE RADIO TO A HMDI ON THE MONITOR
I personally wouldn’t unless you were absolutely certain the cable wasn’t drawing power as most do. I actually did a video on the topic last year.
After a short period of non use, my mouse goes to sleep. I have to click to get it to come awake. Usually, it's over the scope so it changes my frequency. Very annoying. I wonder if this is a radio issue or a mouse to get it not to goto sleep.
I haven’t noticed any issue with the mouse going to sleep. Is yours wired or wireless?
@@gtretroworld Wireless.
@@Larry-AK0Z It is probably just the mouse as my wired works fine.
@@gtretroworld Thanks, it's good to know. I'll invest in another mouse. 73
Will pressing/clicking the mouse wheel do anything?
No unfortunately it doesn’t do a thing.
