External Tuner
Good morning,
Since a few days the proud owner of a Yaesu FTdx101MP.
What I am looking for is the following.
Before this I had an Icom-7610 and also worked with an external tuner and an LW.
If I want to tune the tuner then the IC-760 gave 10 watts of output through the rear of the transmitter to tune and once the antenna was tuned I could work at full power.
Can I also do this with the FTdx101Mp and how does this work, I know that the FT-5000 also had this but I cannot find it anywhere in the manual.
thank you in advance
Rien, PA7RA

RTTY using FH-2 remote
Trying to get the radio to transmit RTTY correctly when in the decode screen using the FH-2 remote. If I'm not in the decode screen it appears to work. I programmed buttons 1 - 5 on the remote. If I press a remote button the radio transmits and through the monitor what goes out sounds normal. The radio unkeys when the string is sent. I can't see what's being transmitted, but I reiterate, it sounds normal.
When I try doing this from within the decode screen, the radio keys up but it sends two alternating tones, without the sound of data going out. It doesn't unkey the radio until I press a remote button again. The text that should be sent appears momentarily in the small input area at the bottom of the decode screen, then disappears. I tried sending the memory contents without the remote, using the touch screen and the same thing happens. Not sure what's going on. I've been in the manual but I must be missing something. 73, Mike, K2CD

Correct - I'm using a stereo plug wired per the manual.

So it should read: "What/where is Yaesu's Region C2?

And I should have referred to G4IRN's posting of Yaesu Technical Information in Files.

When I had an FT-1000MP Mk 5 it was possible to use a sequence of buttons to re-set the radio to various regions' band plans, including enabling general-coverage transmit from 0.5 - 30 MHz.

Re: CW Mode: RF continuous carrier only tho' CW Monitor sounds perfect
raynr1r@...
you can not use a mono plug from your win keyer to radio it has to be a trs 1/4 inch plug and you use the tip and sleeve to connect to radio the mono plug will act as a short and create your problem using mono to stereo adapters will not work the wire diagram for your application is in the manual

Re: CW Mode: RF continuous carrier only tho' CW Monitor sounds perfect
raynr1r@...
the manual as usual leaves a lot to imagination. The rear panel jack shows eithe straight key or key paddle since your external keyer is generating the morse you need to wire the plug like a key not a paddle from your winkerer to radio . a trs plug using the tip and sleeve will work.

Bonjour, C'est à essayer, mais vous risquez d'avoir des problèmes de compatibilité de communication entre le PC et le transceiver. Autant utiliser un PC équipé d'origine d'un port USB. Même après un hub USB complémentaire. Cordiales 73 Jean-Gabriel - F5PNI Send from Nokia 6.1

Simply look at the files section, look for the document of G4IRN. No mars mod needed...

Re: 60 meters
Yep, I think you are correct. You'd think they would hire some "foreign" (i.e., non-Japanese) consultants to advise them when they're designing (or finalizing) a new radio. I like the MARS idea, and I had considered doing now, but I think I'll wait 'till the warranty is up! (just in case...) HiHi 73's, Alan KV6ARM

The Japanese designers are a little behind the times it would appear. Then again, after the warranty period you can simple perform a MARS mod and operate the radio as you see fit. Thanks for the research Alan. - Mike

Re: 60 meters
CORRECTION:
On the 101, the 60m band operating parameters are set, and cannot be "adjusted". The two options are: USB or CW-U on each of the five allocated frequency "channels". The last ten FTDx memory locations are the 60m "channels: The first group of five (5-01 to 5-05) are set and correctly configured for USB on the five operating channel/frequencies, and the last group of five (5-06 to 5-10) are configured for operating CW-upper, i.e. location 5-01 is 5332.0, USB mode; location 5-06 is ALSO 5332.0, but CW mode. It is unfortunate, but it does not appear that you can run any digital modes on 60m with FTDx10, only USB and CW-U (even thought digital modes are permitted under current FCC rules). I guess Yaesu missed the memo on that! 73's, ~Alan KV6ARM

Re: 60 meters
k4cvl <mryan001@...>
As discussed earlier, you have to use one of the radio’s memory channels. ( In this case #3) The CENTER freq of that channel is what your radio will indicate though you WILL transmit on 5357.0. The center freq (that indicated in the memory channel #3) is 5358.5…a little confusing at first. The radio is also in the UPPERSIDEBAND mode which is the proper sideband mode allowed on 60m. You may still simply dial up the freq without going to memory mode of 5357…you just cannot transmit via that method. It is an interesting band…not too many amps work there yet so it’s great..a more level playing field at least for a while. I have worked a few countries split such as New Zealand where they are only allowed 10w output. France just got privleges and their ops are allowed 15 watts. Not all countries have the same freq allocations as we do in the US. Makes it all that more interesting. I have 115 countries confirmed via LOTW on that band to date with more worked that have not reported. –Mike, K4CVL

Amateurs are permitted to operate on five frequency channels, each having an effective bandwidth of 2.8 kHz.

Alan, Have you noticed what MODE you are in when you choose one of the 60m memories? I wonder if you are able to CHANGE the operating mode once in a memory channel on 60? -Mike

Re: 60 meters
Hi Ron,
This topic has been discussed here before, but I will enlighten you. 60m can ONLY be accessed through the memory channels. Selecting the "5.0" band button may take you to the 60m band, and even if you dial up the appropriate frequency, you will not be able to transmit. Here's how to get to the 60m preset frequencies: With radio ON, press the "V>M" button to access the channel memory. Using the MULTI knob, scroll the list down to the end of the list. The last 10 channel spaces are pre-programmed for 60m operating frequencies. They are numbered 5-01 thru 5-10, with 01 thru 05 for USB, and 06 thru 10 for CW. Select the channel you wish to operate on, and press the MULTI knob to select/load the channel into the VFO. Now your set to operate on 60m. Hope that helps. 73's, Alan KV6ARM

Subject: [FTDX101D] 60 meters I never operated 60 meters before ( 5.3 MHZ ). Today on the cluster I saw a DX station so thought I would try it on my MP. I looked and yes 5357 was one of the 5 channels we can operate on at 100 watts PEP. I went there and my MP would not transmit to my surprise. Before you ask, yes it was on the 5.0 band. What am I missing or overlooking? Might be time to call Tim Factor on this????
