The Yaesu FTDX10 MF/HF and 6-meter transceiver, a 100-watt rig, is designed to bring high-performance receiver architecture to the intermediate-price class. It offers continuous receive coverage from 30 kHz to 75 MHz and transmit capabilities across all amateur bands from 160 through 6 meters, including five preset CW and SSB channels on 60 meters. The transceiver supports AM, FM, SSB, CW, and digital modes, with integrated decoders for CW, RTTY, and PSK31, making it a versatile station for various operating preferences. Physically, the FTDX10 measures 3½ × 10½ × 10½ inches and weighs 13 pounds, requiring a 20–25 A DC power supply for full 100 W output. Its front panel features a 5-inch TFT color touchscreen and a large VFO knob, complemented by an SD memory card slot for recording audio and saving settings. Rear panel connectivity includes a single SO-239 antenna port, multiple USB ports for CAT control and peripherals, and DIN jacks for external digital mode hardware and linear amplifiers, though it lacks a dedicated low-noise receive antenna provision. ARRL Lab tests confirm excellent receiver performance, with blocking dynamic range exceeding 137 dB at 2 kHz spacing and robust IMD dynamic range figures. The hybrid receiver design incorporates selectable roofing filters at 500 Hz, 3 kHz, and 12 kHz, along with two preamplifiers and various attenuation levels, allowing operators to tailor reception characteristics to challenging band conditions. Transmitter performance is also rated very good, with low transmit phase noise.
