ARRL video review of the Yaesu FTDX-5000

The Receiver Test Data resource is a detailed review database focusing on the performance metrics of various radio receivers. The methodology involves rigorous lab measurements, often adhering to standards such as the ARRL RMDR (Reciprocal Mixing Dynamic Range) and BDR (Blocking Dynamic Range). Specific test equipment and protocols are utilized to assess parameters like noise floor (dBm), AGC threshold (uV), and LO noise (dBc/Hz). For example, the _Icom IC-7300_ is evaluated with a noise floor of **-133 dBm** and an LO noise of **-141 dBc/Hz**, providing insights into its performance under different operational conditions. The resource includes a wide range of models, from the _Elecraft K3S_ to the _Yaesu FTdx-101D_, each tested for dynamic range, sensitivity, and selectivity. The data is sorted by key metrics such as third-order dynamic range and phase noise limitations, with RMDR values calculated by subtracting 27 dB from LO noise figures. This structured approach allows users to compare different receivers' capabilities, focusing on technical specifications and performance outcomes in various scenarios.

A review from a common ham radio operator, using the Yaesu FTdx101D series transceiver

CTR2-Mini is a small radio controller based on the Seeed Studios Wio Terminal. It can control many radios including FlexRadio 6000s. Multiple Minis can be used to control multiple slices on the Flex. It also has a special mode that allows two CTR2-Minis to control the Main and Sub VFOs on the FTdx101. An article on CTR2-Mini appears in the September 2022 issue of QST.

Yaesu FTDX101D HF and 6-Meter Transceiver ARRL QST review

This article describes the design and construction of a 4-meter band vertical sleeved dipole antenna, built to complement a newly acquired Yaesu FTDX10 transceiver. The simple yet effective antenna consists of modified coaxial cable housed in weather-resistant plastic conduit, featuring an integrated 8-turn choke coil. Despite common misidentification as an EFHW antenna, this design is actually a sleeved dipole that provides an excellent 50-ohm match across the band, achieving SWR values between 1:1 and 1.1:1. The project demonstrates an economical approach to entering the relatively quiet 4-meter band.
