    Awesome video once again Tom. You always give awesome step by step instructions in a slow and precise manner. Some of these videos others put out on KZread, They end up rambling way to much and end up explaining things at to fast of pace & jumping around to much instead of a methodical step by step approach which you always do which is easy to follow. Thanks for all you do, I am getting ready to pull the trigger on Yaesu FT-DX10 and looking forward to more of your videos on setting it up for Digital modes, especially FT8 with the DX10 & WSJT-X. 73 KV5O

    Thanks so much for your video. I unexpectedly ran into a gently used still under warranty year old Yaesu FTdx10 for what I consider a great deal. It should be here in a few days. The rub is I’m a new HAM so drinking out a firehose here 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂. I was hoping to find a step by step series of videos that walks me through everything. I was very happy to see this video. I’ll watch and rewatch it.

    Hi Tom! Since you have both the FTDX10 and 991A, how much better is SSB receive and clarity over the 991A? I am really thinking of upgrading as I have a separate UFH/VHF radio I can use now.

    The difference is night and day. About the same with the FT-710, but my best, and most recent addition- FTDX101MP blows all of them out of the water. In short, I think you would be happy with the DX10…

    At 4:30 you tell us to look at the ports menu (com and LPT) and you say to make note of the com ports. I see only one com port. COULD that be that I don't have the computer hooked up to the radio? And if I do hook the radio to the computer, I will SEE these com ports?

    Tom, I fooled around with the settings and go it working by changing the WSJT handshake to Hardware. All other settings are the same as you provided. Works now on both PCs. I’m not tech savvy enough to know what that means. TNX, KR4VT

    4:43 Hello, I did the install but the Com Ports you mention are NOT on my device manager. Does it matter that my computer is a 64bit design? Or do I need to connect the radio for them to show up?

  • @ND3N

    With your device manager open and the ports tab up, unplug the usb cable from your rig - reinstall the drivers - then plug it back in. Your port numbers will probably be different than mine as they are dynamically assigned by your computer. Let me know if this resolves your problem

    @@ND3N then my suspicion is correct, they don’t get assigned until the rig is hooked up the first time. I will do that when I get home, thanks a million for the video and answers. PS: I bought this rig used, is there any way, through the computer or otherwise, to copy the changes the previous owner made along the way before I got it just in case they worked better than my “final” adjustments?
