General Description

Hybrid SDR conguration inherited from the FTDX101 series

In addition to the narrow band SDR receiver that boasts awesome basic performance, the FTDX10 has a

hybrid SDR conguration 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 roong lters

This transceiver is equipped with three types of roong 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 inuence 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 e󰀨ective 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 e󰀨ective in making the desired signal rise out of the interference.

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 signicantly 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 e󰀨ective, 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 Clarier

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 Amplier Stage

FTDX10 power amplier 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.

Antenna Considerations

The FTDX10 is designed to connect to a 50 Ohm resistive impedance antenna at the Amateur operating frequencies. Select an appropriate antenna (dipole antenna, YAGI antenna, cubical quad antenna, etc.) that is suitable for the chosen operation and bands. Construct the antenna and coaxial cable, or use a suitable antenna tuner, to maintain the impedance presented to the FTDX10 antenna connector for an SWR of 1.5 or less. Careful preparation of the antenna and/or tuner will permit maximum performance, and protect the transceiver from damage. High transmitter RF voltages may be present on the antenna; install it so it will not be easily touched when in operation.

Antenna Connections

Carefully follow the illustration regarding the proper connection of antennas and coaxial cables.

To prevent damage from lightning, atmospheric electrical discharges, electric shock etc., provide a good earth ground.

Use a short, thick, braided cable to connect the station equipment to the buried ground rod (or alternative earth ground system).

Power Cable Connections

Carefully follow the illustrations regarding the proper connection of the DC power cable. Use the DC power cable supplied with the FTDX10 to make the power connections to the power supply.

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.

OFF Attenuator 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 e󰀨ectively.

• IPO

The IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) function

can establish the gain of the RF amplier 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 e󰀨ective 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 (Roong Filter Switching)

Displays the bandwidth of the currently selected

roong 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 roong 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 e󰀨ects. 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.

Operating Mode AUTO AGC Selection

CW-L / CW-U / FM / FM-N DATA-FM / D-FM-N

RTTY-L / RTTY-U DATA-L / DATA-U / PSK

FAST

MID

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.

About TFT Displays

FTDX10 utilizes a TFT liquid-crystal display.

Although TFT liquid-crystal displays are made using very precise technology, they are prone to develop dead pixels (dark dot) or pixels that are always on (bright dot). Please understand that such phenomena do not constitute product defects or malfunctions. Rather, this phenomenon occurs due to limitations in the manufacturing technology with respect to TFT liquid-crystal displays.

• Depending on the viewing angle, unevenness in color or brightness may occur. Please note that any unevenness observed is inherent to the construction of TFT liquid crystal displays and therefore does not constitute a product defect or malfunction.

• If your TFT liquid-crystal display becomes dirty, please use a dry soft cloth or tissue to wipe the

display clean. If it is extremely dirty, moisten it with water or lukewarm water and wipe it o󰀨 with a

soft cloth that has been wrung out tightly. Use of glass cleaner, household cleaners, organic solvents, alcohol, abrasives, and/or like substance may damage the TFT liquid-crystal display.

The IF SHIFT and Variable IF WIDTH features together form a very e󰀨ective interference-ghting ltering system.

For example, in Figure “A", you can see how interference has appeared both on the high and low sides of the desired signal.

Rotate the [WIDTH] knob, the interference from one side can be eliminated (Figure “B”). Next, rotate the [SHIFT] knob to re-position the passband (Figure “C”), the interference on the opposite side can be removed, without re-introducing the interference previously eliminated in Figure “B”.

For best interference reduction, the WIDTH and SHIFT features are the primary tools you should use. After narrowing the bandwidth (WIDTH) and/or adjusting the center of the passband (SHIFT), the Contour control may

then yield additional signal-enhancement benets on the net residual bandwidth. Even more, the IF NOTCH Filter (described later) may also be used, in conjunction with these lter systems, to signicant advantage.

1. Press the [FUNC] knob.

2. Touch [RF POWER].

3. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to adjust the RF power.

When transmitting in the AM mode, set a maximum (carrier) power output of 25 Watts.

MONI (Monitor)

Use the Monitor feature to listen to the quality of the transmitted signal.

1. Press the [FUNC] knob.

2. Touch [MONI LEVEL].

3. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to adjust the Monitor level.

Transmit audio monitor is not activate in the FM, DATA-FM and D-FM-N modes.

● If you are using the speaker for monitoring,

instead of headphones, excessive advancement of the Monitor level can cause feedback to occur. Additionally, this feedback can cause the VOX system to hang up in a loop, making it impossible to return to receive. Therefore, we recommend the use of headphones, if at all possible, or the minimum usable setting of the Monitor level, if the speaker must be used.

4. To cancel the monitor function, turn the [FUNC] knob to set “MONI LEVEL” to “OFF”.

● Because the Monitor feature samples the trans-

mitter IF signal, it can be very useful for checking the adjustment of the Speech Processor or Parametric Equalizer on SSB, and for checking the general signal quality on AM.

Parametric Microphone Equalizer

The FTDX10 includes a unique Three-Band Parametric Microphone Equalizer that provides precise, independent control over the low, mid and treble ranges in the voice waveform. One group of settings may

be utilized when the AMC or speech processor is O󰀨, and an alternate group of settings when the AMC or

Speech Processor is On (SSB mode only). The speech processor feature is described in the next chapter.

Parametric microphone equalizer function is activated only in SSB, AM and FM modes.

Using the Automatic Antenna Tuner

The Automatic Antenna Tuner (ATU) is built into each FTDX10. The ATU is designed to ensure that a 50-

Ohm antenna impedance load is presented to the nal amplier stage of the transmitter.

• Because the FTDX10 ATU is located inside transceiver, it can only adjust the impedance presented to the transceiver end of the coaxial cable feedline. It does not “tune” the SWR at the antenna feed point itself.

When designing and building an antenna system, we recommend that every e󰀨ort be made to also ensure a

low SWR at the antenna feed point.

• The ATU in the FTDX10 is designed to match impedances within the range of 16.5 Ohms to 150 Ohms, corresponding to an SWR of 3:1 or less on the HF amateur bands (6 m amateur band: 25 Ohms to 100 Ohms, corresponding to an SWR of 2:1 or less). Accordingly, simple non-resonant whip antennas, along with random-length wires and the “G5RV” antenna (on most bands) may not be within the impedance matching range of the ATU.

• The built-in antenna tuner cannot be used with an antenna connector connected to an external antenna tuner.

• ATU Operation

1. Press the [TUNE] key momentarily to place the ATU in the transmit line (no adjustment or tuning will occur yet). While the ATU function is activated, the “TUNE” will be displayed.

● The momentary press of the [TUNE] key

will turn the tuner ON, and the microprocessor will automatically select the tuning point closest to the current operating frequency.

2. Press and hold the [TUNE] key to begin automatic tuning.

● The transmitter will be engaged, and

“TUNE” will be displayed while tuning is in progress.

● Always listen on the operating frequency

before beginning the tuning process, to be sure tuning will not interfere with others who may already be using the frequency.

● When the optimum tuning point has been

achieved, the transceiver will return to receive.

3. To disengage the ATU from the transmit line, press the [TUNE] key momentarily.

The ATU microprocessor memories store the record of the capacitors and inductors selected to tune each 10 kHz window in which tuning has occurred. This eliminates the need to retune every time operation returns to a frequency on which the tuning process has already been completed.

Figure 1 depicts a situation where normal tuning via the ATU has been successfully completed, and the

SWR after ATU TuningFrequency

tuning data has been stored in the ATU memory. The antenna system SWR as seen by the transmitter is shown.

In Figure 2, the operator has changed frequency, and the “HI-SWR” icon has appeared. The operator presses and holds in the TUNE button for one second to begin impedance matching using the ATU.

If a high SWR condition exists (above 3:1), corrective action must be taken in the antenna system to bring the impedance closer to 50 Ohms. The ATU will refuse to memorize settings on frequencies where the SWR exceeds 3:1. A High SWR may indicate a mechanical failure in the feed system, and can lead to the generation of spurious signals causing TVI, etc.

Feed Point SWR

Figure 2

About ATU Memories

SWR (After tuning) Less than 2:1

The tuner settings are stored in the ATU memory.

SWR (After tuning) Greater than 2:1

Tuning data will not be retained in memory. If operation is returned to the same frequency, the tuning process must be repeated.

SWR (After tuning) Greater than 3:1

The “HI-SWR” icon will light up, and the tuner settings, if achieved, will not be memorized. Investigate the high SWR condition and resolve the problem before attempting further operation using this antenna.

CW Mode Operation

The impressive CW operating capabilities of the FTDX10 permit operating with an Electronic Keyer Paddle, a “Straight Key”, or a computer based keying device.

1. Before starting, connect the key cable to the rear panel KEY jack.

2. Set the operating mode to CW-U. The normal “CW” mode utilizes USB-side carrier injection.

CW reverse mode

CW-U (CW Reverse) mode receives CW signals with a reverse sideband CW carrier point like that of LSB and USB modes. Use CW reverse when interfering signals are near a desired signal to move the interfering tone out of the receiver bandwidth.

3. Rotate the Main Tuning Dial knob to select the desired operating frequency.

4. Press the [FUNC] knob.

● The same operating frequency may

be maintained and displayed when switching the transceiver between SSB and CW mode, by setting Menu item “CW FREQ DISPLAY” (page 96).

● By connecting the FTDX10 to a computer,

CW can be operated using free or commercially available software and setting Menu item “PC KEYING” (page 96).

• Adjusting the Sidetone Audio level

The CW sidetone audio level may be adjusted by press the [FUNC] knob, then touch [MONI LEVEL], and then rotating the [FUNC] knob.

• CW Delay Time Setting

During semi-break-in (not QSK) operation, the hang time of TX, after the transmitting ends may be adjusted to a comfortable value corresponding with the sending speed.

1. Press the [FUNC] knob, then touch [BK-DELAY].

2. Start sending and rotate the [FUNC] knob to adjust the hang time for comfortable operation.

3. Approximately 1 second after selection, the settings are saved and the normal operation screen returns.

5. Touch [BK-IN] to turn ON the BK-IN function.

6. Touch [MONI LEVEL] and then turn the [FUNC] knob to adjust the volume of the monitor.

7. When using the keyer paddle, press the [FUNC] knob and then touch [KEYER] to turn ON the Electronic Keyer.

8. When the key or the keyer paddle is pressed, the transmitter will automatically be engaged.

● Press [FUNC], then touch [CW SPEED],

and rotate the [FUNC] knob to set the desired sending speed.

● As shipped from the factory, the FTDX10

CW TX/RX is congured for “Semibreak-in”

operation. However, using Menu item “CW BK-IN TYPE” ( may be changed to full break-in (QSK) operation, wherein the switching is quick enough to hear incoming signals in the spaces between the dots and dashes of the transmission. This may prove very useful during

contest and tra󰀩c handling operations.

●

If the [BK-IN] key is set to O󰀨, CW sending

may be practiced with the sidetone only, without having the signal transmitted over the air.

● To enable the CW keying operation in LSB/

USB mode and send CW signals without switching the transceiver to CW mode, change Menu item “CW AUTO MODE” (page 95).

page 96), this setup

CW Spotting (Zero-Beating)

“Spotting” (zeroing in on another CW station) is a handy technique to ensure the transceiver and the other station are operating precisely on the same frequency.

The Tuning Offset Indicator in the display may also be moved to adjust the receiver frequency to center on the incoming station with the CW pitch corresponding to that of the transmit signal.

Turn OFF the Tuning Offset Indicator using Menu item “CW INDICATOR” page 96.

CW Decode

Alphanumeric Morse code can be decoded and displayed as text on the TFT Panel.

Interfering signals, noise, propagation phasing, and code inaccuracy, may prevent accurate message copy.

1. Set the operating mode to CW.

• Memory Tune Operation

You may freely tune o󰀨 from any memory channel

in a “Memory Tune” mode, this is similar to VFO operation. So long as you do not over-write the contents of the current memory, Memory Tune operation will not alter the contents of the memory channel.

● The “MT ” notation will appear instead of the “M-nn”.

Press the [V/M] key to return to the originally memorized frequency of the current memory channel.

Memory Groups

Memory channels may be listed into as many as six convenient groups, for easy identification and selection. For example: groups for AM BC stations, Short-wave broadcast stations, Contest frequencies, Repeater frequencies, PMS limits, or any other desired grouping may be created. Each memory group may hold up to 20 memory channels (except Memory Group 01 which is limited to 19 memory channels). When memory channels are grouped, the channel numbers change to correspond to the chart below:

3. Press and hold the [V/M] key.

The data in the selected memory channel will now be transferred to VFO.

Choosing the Desired Memory Group

If desired, just the memories listed within a particular Memory Group, may be recalled.

Before performing the operation, set the “MEM GROUP” menu to “ON” (Refer to “Memory Groups” setting on the left).

1. Press the [V/M] key, if necessary, to enter the “Memory” mode.

2. Press the [FUNC] knob.

3. Touch [M-GROUP].

4. Rotate the [FUNC] knob to select the desired Memory Group.

VFO and Memory Scanning

Either the VFO or the memory channels of the FTDX10 may be scanned, and the receiver will halt scanning on any frequency with a signal strong enough to open the receiver squelch. In the SSB/CW and SSB-based Data modes, the decimal points in the frequency display area will blink and the scanner will slow down (but does not stop).

VFO/Memory Scan

1. Set the frequency or Memory channel at which scanning is to begin.

2. Rotate the [RF/SQL] knob so that the background noise is just silenced (page 35).

3. Pressing and holding the UP or DWN key on the microphone will start the scanning.

● If the scanner halts on an incoming signal,

the decimal point between the “MHz” and “kHz” digits of the frequency display will blink.

● The operation when a signal is received

during scanning varies depending on the mode type.

Other than

SSB, CW

Scanning will pause.

Scanning speed will be slower, but scanning will not be paused.

To cancel scanning, press the PTT switch, or press any key (except [TXW]) on the front panel of the transceiver. If the microphone PTT button is pressed during scanning, the scanner will halt at once. However, pressing the PTT button while scanning will not cause transmission.

● If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to

prohibit the microphone UP/DWN buttons from initiating scanning, you may disable scanning control from the microphone using Menu item

[OPERATION SETTING] → [GENERAL] →

[MIC SCAN] (page 100).

● During Memory Group operation, only the

channels within the current Memory Group will be scanned.

● The manner in which the scanner resumes after it has paused on a signal may be selected by using Menu item [OPERATION SETTING]

→ [GENERAL] → [MIC SCAN RESUME] (page

100).

The default “TIME” (5 sec) setting will cause the scanner to resume scanning after five seconds; however the scan setting may be changed to resume only after the received signal has dropped out.

● If the scan has paused on a signal, pressing the microphone UP or DWN button will cause scanning to resume instantly.

● If the Main Tuning Dial knob is rotated while

scanning is in progress, the VFO scanning or memory channel scanning will continue up or down in accordance with the direction of the Dial Knob rotation. (In other words, if the dial is rotated to the left when scanning toward a higher frequency or memory channel number, the direction of the scan will reverse.)

Programmable Memory Scan (PMS)

To limit scanning (and manual tuning) to a particular frequency range, the Programmable Memory Scanning (PMS) feature utilizes nine special-purpose memory pairs (“M-P1L/M-P1U through M-P9L/ M-P9U). The PMS feature is especially useful in helping to observe any operating sub-band limits which apply to your Amateur license class.

First: store the Lower and Upper tuning/scanning limit frequencies into the memory pair “M-P1L” and “M-P1U”, respectively (or any other “L/U” pair of special PMS memories).

1. Recall the memory channel “M-P1L”.

2. Rotate the [RF/SQL] knob so that the background noise is just silenced (page 35).

3. Turn the Main Dial knob slightly (to activate memory tuning).

● The Memory Channel “M-PL1” will be re-

placed by “PMS”.

4. Pressing and holding the UP or DWN key on the microphone to start PMS.

● Scanning is only between frequencies

stored in M-P1L and M-P1U.
