Yes. Having AGC slope and threshold would be a very welcome addition to the rig. As with other radios that don't have these controls, two things that can be used to influence AGC to a degree are RF

Boy after using the ft -101d for a couple weeks now, mostly ragchewing in cw. Yesterday set my K2,a battery and a end fed wire at 15 feet and a paper log, to work emergency communications FieldDay.

Quite helpful for someone who’s had the rig for a year as well Laurie G3UML

You can set the AGC time constants, but not threshold or slope. 73, Scott K9MA

Agree. I appreciate the approach and presentation of information. I can see where it could be quite helpful for someone starting out with the rig. IMO, it's not authoritative and comprehensive and

Even Yaesu doesn't clearly explain the amc/mic gain.

I operated from home yesterday strictly on CW for 4-5 hours and wanted to share what worked. As a comparison last year I used a Ten Tec Omni VII. Overall I found that I used the 101d much more

Useful but in some ways, disappointing. I was hoping for an authoritative technical discussion of the set up of Mic Gain, AMC and Proc levels, but the author avoids this and, in effect, says "use my

I use 2Tone with N1MM, you can change baud rates in 2Tone settings. Ken.. G0ORH

Alan I see no menu setting to change the baudrate from 45 tot 75. For to decode 75 rate you have to use an external program , such as mmtty . In that program you can setup rates. Dirk on4ct

I used an external program in the end, but wondered if there was anyway to change the 101 decode as I couldn't see anything on the rig or in the manual.

Yep. I'm not disagreeing, just suggesting a few things I found that work for me in helping ameliorate some of the shortcomings you mentioned. You might consider joining the FTDX101 contesting group

I'm not sure why bandwidth would affect AGC operation. My issue is that I want the AGC response very flat, so I can hear the weak signals without punishing my ears on the strong ones. Yes, it makes it

You can change the shift frequency for FSK from operator RTTY but you will need to use an external decoding program. Something that I never tried,, 73 Rejean

Yep. I'm essentially CW only and I've accumulated a list with 28 entries. 3. AGC. I find it works better the narrower the WIDTH. Of course you may not want a narrower WIDTH. 4. Agree. In addition

There's an RTTY contest on this weekend. The rules state the baud rate as being 75. Is there any way to make the 101 resolve that on its decode?

I've only had the radio a week or so, but I'm disappointed in it in may respects. Now, I'm a CW contester, and I'm fussy, so many others will probably not mind what I see as shortcomings. On the other

Please forgive me. I had no idea that gnashing my teeth was so disturbing. My dentist would probably agree with you and he knows about as much about my ham radio needs as.....oops, there I go

Amen

Buy the Kindle digital version. Cheaper and instant download. Has good info! If you can't use a tablet or Kindle because it is too technical, you might as well sell your new FTDX101 now and avoid the
