If you connect both receivers to same antenna, you are enabling a Rx splitter, which is a 3dB splitter. That happens because you are sharing all the signal received by one antenna, into two receivers,

FTDx5000 is already a very good receiver, still in the top ten I think. Hence, differences are minimum. Perhaps, a weak signal close to a strong station, you can feel any difference. Or, if you use FT

I use the USB input. When you connect USB to the computer, it creates two audio devices (in my case called (AUDIO CODEC). You just select that audio codec device in your favorite software (WSJT, MSHV,

Forgot to say, there are more than one "Diversity". It could be; spatial diversity, frequency diversity, polarization diversity, phase diversity, etc. Further reading; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An

Diversity is that; 2 receivers with two different antennas, and a commuting process to select the one offering best receotion. That is Diversity. It is in use for years on VHF repeaters, for example.

Well, you need a local computer running some software to control your radio. Then you only need to remotely access that computer. Any free software will do the job; TeamViewer, remote desk, etc. 73 Má

Mike, I just remembered a video I´ve made months ago, comparing two dipoles, one horizontal connected to one receiver, and a second dipole, vertical, connected to the second receiver. https://www.yout

I see what you meant. It seems USB only brings one channel audio?? Well, as plan B what you can do is to use headset audio, where you can use “Combine-1” option in the radio´s menu, to get one receive

Hi Mike, “Diversity” is for Rx only. There is no Diversity on Tx. FTDx101 is able to use two different receiver with two different antennas, but there is no phasing capability to combine both signal a

I am keeping a website since 1998, with a couple of listing from radio reviews, including ARRL/QST and Sherwood. Everyone is invited to visit it: http://www.ea1ddo.es/radios.html I remember when the m

At the end... for serious contest, Dx and high performance, FT Dx-101 offers best receiver (and transmiter) on the market at this time. For low/average demand radio, normal use, ragchewing, digitals,

Can you add one more option? Both (switchable by settings. Or even both using both smeters) Thanks 73, Maximo

Mike, “Solar panels” make no RF noise at all. Noise is coming from your DC to AC converter, which is “inverter” technology. You need to try to isolate that converter, replace it, or any other action t

I've seen that behaviour with the previous Fw too. It was always like that. Not a new thing. 73, Maximo De: FTDX101D@groups.io <FTDX101D@groups.io> en nombre de Franco <hb9oab@...> Enviado: dom

If we talk about ergonomics… best Yaesu was my FT Dx-9000. I know 5000 has better receiver, and 101 has even better than the 5000, but big brother 9000 was best for ergonomics, full knobs and buttons

If I am not wrong... >When I use the 101, I miss the SM-5000 stereo speakers. The 101 has only 1 speaker which is not great but is still ok. You get two speaker jacks at the rear, so you can buy two S

Hi Bill, As you said, 5000 is a ten years old model. 101 is world's best receivers (twin receivers) and one of the cleanest transmisters too. 5000 was good at that time, still good, but over passed by

I am using it for over a year; bare, with amplifier, different antennas, contests, digitals, SSB... I had no one issue. Anyway, eveyone is free to buy and sell something if not fully happy. Personally

You can ask same questions about cars: What car is best? Depends. Circuit racing: Ferrari Speed: Koenisegg Drive: Bugatti Desert: 4x4 Comfort: Rolls Royce Travelling: Campervan Shopping: Golf Farm: F-

Some people, instead of enjoying this supperb radio, with best Rx specs ever, they act as "beta testers", looking for the minimum thing to start complaining about. To report an issue is ok, but when t
