General Description
Hybrid SDR conguration inherited from the FTDX101 series
In addition to the narrow band SDR receiver that boasts awesome basic performance, the FTDX10 has a
hybrid SDR conguration utilizing an integrated direct sampling SDR receiver, which permits visualization
of the entire band spectrum in real time.
By adopting the hybrid SDR method, and utilizing the features of the direct sampling method, it is possible
to display a wide-view of the information in the entire band in real time, and improve the performance of
the complete receiving circuit with the narrow band SDR technology down conversion method.
Comes equipped with three types of roong lters
This transceiver is equipped with three types of roong lters for 500 Hz, 3 kHz and 12 kHz bandwidths.
These narrow band lters are especially useful on a very crowded band during contests, because they
can dramatically attenuate powerful out-of-band signals in the rst IF stage, and thus reduce their impact
in the second stage. Further, the excellent dynamic range and IP3 characteristics optimize the processing
of all signals ranging from faint to powerful.
Adopts 3DSS/Hybrid Dual SDR Display
In addition to the conventional waterfall display, a 3DSS (3 Dimensions Spectrum Stream) image method
has been newly adopted. The 3DSS image uses the horizontal axis (X axis) for frequency, the vertical
axis (Y axis) for signal intensity, and the Z axis for time. Compared to the conventional waterfall method,
the signal strength is displayed in three dimensions as well as in color, recognition of changes in the band
conditions is instant, convenient and intuitive.
High-brightness TFT full-color display with touch-panel functionality
The FTDX10 is equipped with a 5-inch full-color TFT display. Operating functions, including the receiving
band noise and signal interference reduction tools, are graphically displayed. Even while involved in rigorous operations, such as DXpeditions and contests, the operator may instantly grasp the status of each
function.
Filter Function Display monitors the status of the passband
In the upper part of the display, a lter function display presents the state of the pass-band. In addition to
the operating state of the interference removal functions, the lter function information is displayed. Not
only can you grasp the operating status of WIDTH, SHIFT, NOTCH and CONTOUR at a glance, you can
also view the status of the RF spectrum in the passband.
Two selectable RF Stages amplify the desired signals from low band to
high band
RF amplifier AMP1, and AMP2 are low noise negative feedback RF amplifiers that may be selected or
combined in series as is needed for various low-band, high-band, frequency and noise conditions.
In addition, the IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) function maximizes the dynamic range and enhances
the close multi-signal and inter-modulation characteristics of the receiver. The inuence of strong broadcasting stations, especially in the low bands, can be minimized.
WIDTH and the continuously variable Bandwidth SHIFT features permit elimination of interfering signals
The WIDTH feature allows the bandwidth to be narrowed by rotating the WIDTH knob. The SHIFT feature,
can eliminate interference in one side of the passband. Often, weak signals disappear due to interfering
signals (including pile-ups). The interfering signals may be extracted, leaving only the desired signal, be-
cause of the unique DSP sharp ltering characteristics.
CONTOUR feature is renowned for eective noise reduction
Rather than using the DSP extremely sharp attenuation characteristics, the CONTOUR circuit provides
gentle shaping of the DSP passband lter, and can thus attenuate or peak bandwidth components in segments. The interfering signal can be naturally shaped without having part of the signal suddenly disrupted.
The contour function is very eective in making the desired signal rise out of the interference.
4
DNR (Digital Noise Reduction) by DSP digital processing
The incorporated digital noise reduction circuit may be set to the optimal working algorithm by varying the
15 step parameters according to the noise type.
NOTCH feature can eliminate an unwanted heterodyne, and the DNF
feature can instantly attenuate multiple heterodyne signals
When interfering beat signals are present in the receiver passband, the IF NOTCH feature can signicantly eliminate a narrow portion of the passband and remove the interfering signal. Moreover, when there are
multiple interfering signals, the DSP DNF (Digital Notch Filter) Automatic Tracking System can be eective, even when an interfering frequency is changing.
MPVD (MULTI PURPOSE VFO OUTER DIAL)
A large multi-functional ring is placed on the outside of the Main Dial. It is frequently used for the Clarier
or a CS (Custom select) function. The operator may assign favorite functions to the MPVD that can then
be operated with one touch. The ring can be used to adjust important functions without releasing your
hand from the Main Dial. This feature can be a great convenience in the ever-changing shortwave radio
communications.
[FUNC] (function) knob
Simply press the function [FUNC] knob to easily select the setting menu, and then change the setting value. Quick response is possible even while operating. Assign a frequently used function or setting menu
and then you can easily change the setting just by turning the knob.
Reliable High-output Final Amplier Stage
FTDX10 power amplier utilizes a pair of RD70HUP2 transistors in a push-pull RF arrangement that delivers 100 watts of low-distortion, high-quality transmitter power.
SD memory card
An SD card slot on the front panel permits using a commercially available SD memory card for recording/
playback of received audio, for voice recording for transmission, to save the various operating settings,
saving memory contents, and screen capture (saving the display screen). The SD card is also used to up-
date the rmware.

Important Receiver Settings
Important setting items when receiving
The status of various operations that are important during receive, are shown at the bottom of the display.
To change a setting, touch the appropriate location on the display.
• ATT (Attenuator)
Displays the current ATT (Amount of receive input
signal attenuation).
When the desired signal is extremely strong or
the noise level is high on a low frequency band,
activate the attenuator to reduce the incoming
signal or noise from the antenna.
After touching [ATT], touch the desired attenuation amount.
The attenuator is set independently for each operation band.
OFFAttenuator is O
6dB
12dB
18dB
The incoming signal power is reduced by 6dB
(Signal voltage reduced to 1/2)
The incoming signal power is reduced by 12dB
(Signal voltage reduced to 1/4)
The incoming signal power is reduced by 18dB
(Signal voltage reduced to 1/8)
• If the noise level is high or the received signal
is extremely strong, the incoming signal level
can be suppressed with the IPO/ATT settings.
If the S-meter fluctuates S-3 or more in the
noise level, or the received signal is extremely
strong and it causes a high S-meter indication
(+20dB or more), activate the attenuator.
• Since IPO does not only attenuate the incoming signal, but also improves the cross modulation characteristic, try to activate the IPO
first. If the signal is still strong, also use the
ATT. In this way, you can attenuate the incom-
ing signal and noise eectively.
• IPO
The IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) function
can establish the gain of the RF amplier section
to accommodate the connected antenna and the
received signal conditions. IPO can be selected
from three operating conditions.
AMP1: One stage RF amplifier is connected.
This is a well-balanced operation of receiver sensitivity and characteristics (Approximately 10 dB gain).
AMP2: Two RF amplifiers are connected in se-
ries to give top priority to sensitivity (Approximately 20 dB gain).
IPO:The received signal is input to the IF mix-
er without passing through the RF amplifier. This can greatly improve receiving,
especially in the harsh low band signal
environment.
After touching [IPO], touch the desired operating
condition.
• IPO is set independently for each operation
band.
• Normally, select “AMP1”.
• The IPO can not only attenuate the input signal but also improve the intermodulation char-
acteristics. It is most eective to operate the
IPO rst, and then use the ATT if the signal is
still too strong. The noise level can be attenuated and S/N greatly improved.
• R.FIL (Roong Filter Switching)
Displays the bandwidth of the currently selected
roong lter.
Switches the crystal roofing filters of 300Hz*,
500Hz, 3kHz, and 12 kHz that are installed in this
transceiver.
Normally, filters are automatically switched de-
pending on the operation mode, however the lter
may be changed according to the conditions or
when an optional lter is installed.
Roofing filters are to be set independently for
each operation band.
*300Hz roong lter is optional.
After touching [R. FIL], touch the desired lter.
If the optional 300Hz lter is not installed, “300Hz”
will not be displayed.

Displays the currently selected AGC setting.
The AGC system is designed to help compen-
sate for fading and other propagation eects. The
AGC characteristics can be individually set for
each operating mode. The basic objective of AGC
is to maintain a constant audio output level once
a certain minimum threshold of signal strength is
achieved.
After touching [AGC], touch the desired time constant.
● AGC can be set for each operation band.
● The “AUTO” selection mode selects the opti-
mum receiver-recovery time for the reception
mode.

Normally, AGC is set to “AUTO”, which automatically selects the time constant according to
the received signal type, but when receiving a
weak signal or when there is noise and fading,
the AGC action may be changed according to
the reception condition at that time. Change the
time constant to make received signals most
audible
Several aspects of AGC performance may be
configured via the Menu. However, because
AGC can have such a profound impact on overall receiver performance, we generally do not
recommend any changes to the AGC Menu selections until you are thoroughly familiar with the
performance of the FTDX10.

Scope Display Setting
In addition to the conventional two-dimensional waterfall spectrum display, Yaesu has added the 3-Dimension Spectrum Stream (3DSS) color display. The constantly changing band conditions and signals are
depicted in real time and color. The frequency span is shown on the horizontal X axis, the vertical Y axis
depicts the signals and their strengths, and the time is represented on the receding Z axis. The FTDX10
operator can intuitively grasp the band and signal conditions at any instant.
• CENTER/CURSOR/FIX
Switches the Spectrum Scope operation each time the key is touched.
• When the display area is touched, the receive frequency is moved to that point.
• In CENTER mode, the frequency touched becomes the center.
• In CURSOR and FIX mode, the marker and the receive frequency move to the touched position.
• CENTER
The receive frequency is always shown at the center
of the screen and spectrum display. The band spectrum is shown within the range set by “SPAN”. The
CENTER mode is convenient for monitoring the signal activity around the operating frequency.
