Barry, Thanks for the post. The issue here is calibration - an accurate (true) measurement of the parameters of interest. Neither the FTDX101 nor the MNFJ 989D have been calibrated for your experiment

Actually, I have a K4 on order, and will sell the FTdx-101MP if it ever shows up. Meanwhile, the primary radio remains the K3. 73, Scott K9MA

Hello group! I have the Yaesu FTDX 101MP and a using the Vibroplex INRAD DMS-1 desk microphone and looking for preferred setting in the Yaesu FTDX101MP. I will readily admit I do not have an

Ok on that Doug , I thought they (K4) were being shipped out now.. I know I could be dead before I get a response from Scott to any of my questions. Setting the max power has many benefits including

Yes, but the 20% loss would not be detected by the rx station, so not worth the bother. vk4tux

I normally use my FTDX101D with a Heathkit SB220 amp. I also have two scopes, a Kenwood SM220 and a Heathkit SB610. Because Field Day rules say a 1D station cannot use more than 150 watts, I shut off

I could be dead long before a K4 would bedelivered. Elecraft clearly 'overhung the market' on this rig. Doug Free Climbing - The ultimate test of strength and technique.

I agree 100% with Don. When my FT-1000D went belly-up during Museum Ships Weekend, I broke out my K2 "backup radio" and used it. The K2 is a good little radio, but nothing like the 1000D. Then my

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
