Yaesu FTDX-10 and WSJT-X Configuration for FT8 Digital Mode Operation

This resource details the configuration adjustments required for integrating a Yaesu FTDX-10 transceiver with WSJT-X software for FT8 digital mode operation. It addresses specific settings for the FTDX-10 radio, including setting the mode to DATA-U, adjusting attenuator, preamp, roof filter, and AGC parameters. The document also covers modifications to factory 'REAR SELECT', 'RPORT GAIN', and 'RPTT SELECT' settings. Furthermore, it specifies changes to 'LCUT FREQ', 'LCUT SLOPE', 'HCUT FREQ', and 'DATA SHIFT (SSB)' values. For WSJT-X, the configuration includes selecting the FTDX-10 radio model, setting the serial port to a virtual port (e.g., cu.SLAB_USBtoURAT), and configuring a baud rate of 38400. Data bits are set to eight, stop bits to two, and handshake to none. PTT method is configured as CAT, and the mode is set to Data/Pkt. Audio settings involve selecting the appropriate USB Audio CODEC, such as those associated with Silicon Labs (SLAB) drivers on a MacBook Pro. The methodology focuses on achieving functional interoperability between the transceiver and the digital mode software.
