[@hamradiocq]

Love this radio!

[@merrickorion1954]

i realize it is kind of randomly asking but do anyone know a good place to stream newly released series online?

[@kingsleylangston1959]

@Merrick Orion flixportal :D

[@merrickorion1954]

@Kingsley Langston Thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :D I appreciate it!

[@kingsleylangston1959]

@Merrick Orion you are welcome xD

[@fryoil1962]

Everything u showed here on the video,are u capable of sending code through typing on keyboard, n receiving code on the ham radio deluxe? Thanks new to what you were showing!

[@matthewbrill5588]

Absolutely the best done tutorial for Amateur Radio I’ve run into to date. No long verbose unrelated introductions. No hubris. Just a fellow ham who figured it out AND shared the knowledge. Perfect. In my situation the USB to USB would not work. Fortunately I also bought the USB /CAT cable (FTDX-10 manual reference page 14, item 12 that has one USB end and the other “funky looking” end - check the diagram pic on page 13 labeled “12”.) My comm port numbers were different as can always be the case. But now it works effortlessly. Thank you for your editing and camera work also - easy to see and follow you with the help of the pause button. I immediately started going on the air and stopped. Just had to send this comment before playing. I owe you. Great job! De kr4bg/Matthew - Virginia- ex Wb2lar.

I appreciate that comment very much Matthew.

You are a life saver thank you so much for pulling the rest of my hair out .absolute star again can't thank enuf 👍

[@straightkey]

Thank you for the video. You saved me hours of frustration trying to get n1mm working with my ftdx3000.

[@hamradiocq]

Great to hear!

[@jed1947]

Thanks! I have used N1MM with several radios but not for a few years. I just got the FTDX-10, and I am going to set up N1MM. I really appreciate your refresher video which will no doubt save me a lot of time. 73 - ke5c

[@BFOlivier]

Thanks for your brilliant explanation, no blablabla, just iportant infos, you saved many hours of my life ;>)

[@SteelWolf13]

10:39 thanks

[@nicktotterdell5702]

Many thanks for this useful video. I have to get two FTDX10s working with DXlog in extra-quick time and your video covers all the unknowns about setting up the USB. Take care and good DX. 73 Nick G4FAL

[@hamradiocq]

You are welcome!

[@waynerobertson7825]

Thank you for saving me a weekend! After spending a couple hours on the N1MM official instructions I was able to control my rig but not send CW. Did not know about the PC Keying setting on the rig (okay, I should have, I'll admit it but nonetheless, I didn't). Tnx for showing me that and the rest of the settings. Now I'll figure out how to slow down the sending speed to my normal snail pace and I'll be set! 73, Wayne de K4WK

[@hamradiocq]

Thanks for the nice comment, Wayne. Yeah I like to help if I can. These settings are painful.

[@stephenwhite7627]

Thanks man! Worked like a charm! Great vid!

[@hamradiocq]

Glad it helped!

[@billpowell5931]

Nice presentation. Saves a whole bunch of time and frustration. Thank you for sharing.

[@hamradiocq]

You're welcome!

[@KX4UL]

Thanks for sharing this info, Tom. Easy to follow. I just bought a new FTDX10 and this will be helpful. 73!

[@ae1tpa92gwtom2]

Hi Tom, DTR and RTS are lines that are set high or low as needed to allow serial comms, these are originally from the serial port RS232 comms DTR Data Terminal Ready, RTS Ready to Send, the 9 way serial port on the device is a cut down verson of the original 25 way RS232 serial interface, so in short, this is legacy serial interface terms, still in use, with the Yaesu USB, hope this helped in some way. Seems the firnware still uses, if needed Thx for this Video, 73

[@hamradiocq]

Hey, Tom, thanks for the comment. I put these out there to help others avoid some pain hopefully. Tnx fer the Serial instruction. Seems like there's some history behind these ports...that I don't know.

[@HamRadioLiveShow]

My friend, I got to ask you… How do you like it? This is I believe one of the best receivers there is on the market. It’s so close to the 101 series. Truly a wonderful transceiver in my eyes. 73‘s and all the best to you from Oregon my friend, Larry de K7HN

[@hamradiocq]

Hey HRL, I really like this radio, wish I had more time to use it.

[@hb9fbp329]

i solved my trouble with interaction between FTDX10 and N1MM setup, because first time i cannot have CW modulated but only single tone. Thank a this video i discovered my error in the setup due to inversion between RTS and DTR... Now all run all right.

[@hamradiocq]

This video was taken a long time ago, I'm not sure now. Tnx for watching.

[@ghostedyoutuber263]

RTS DCS CTS are old legacy pinout to 70's RS-232 and RS-432 . Over the decades, Hams used RS-232 pins to TRICK a radio and computer to behave and play nice-nice together.

[@gm7cxm]

Thanks so much! De EA5S

[@romanbaginski361]

Super Video tnx dr om

[@shinjoeom8682]

I just bought ftdx10 and I don't know when it will be, but I feel like this video will really help. This is one of the best clips on KZbin to me, ever

[@johnnybwrlr983]

Just watching this video to learn about cat cables and my new ftdx10. FYI - DTR (data terminal ready), RTS (request to send) and there is one called CTS (clear to send). These are serial port methods from way back to determine if your port is going to send data or to wait. Usually one is setup by the manufacturer to sync with both pieces of equipment. The computer can do all of them, but likely, the setup and drivers for the radio may be limited.

[@hamradiocq]

Thanks for the comment I really appreciate it.

[@michaelmullins3396]

I had the same problem as you had, but after making the changes as you suggested , I still had the same problem, any thoughts, Michael.......... Thanks for giving me ideas as I could not find any other site that highlighted this issue.

[@hamradiocq]

I don't know what you need exactly, but just keep trying new stuff and don't be afraid to do a reset on your radio.

[@meggalavk3ktt]

thanks the video helped me set up super fast

[@hamradiocq]

: )

[@RichardLawn]

I'd love to know your settings as it didn't entirely work for me. CW character spacing is screwed up and DITS and DAHS are about the same length. Puzzeling to say the least!

[@edwardkerns5202]

Thanks. Quality presentation. Your setup also works on FTDX101D.

[@hamradiocq]

Thanks!

[@SteveG4YTK]

Thanks for the video I was interested because I have the FTDX10 and I am new to N1MM. Well its working thanks but the cw speed does not match the cw send speed on the radio. Any idea how to match the cw keyspeeds together

[@chuckandgailperry2405]

How does N1MM and Ham Radio Deluxe fit into this set up?

[@hamradiocq]

This video was taken a long time ago, I'm not sure now. Tnx for watching.

[@charlesfritzii8991]

So do you like the Icom 7300 or do you like the Yeasu FTDX10 better for CW?

[@hamradiocq]

They are both great, but I'm glad I got the DX10

[@jonathancotner7040]

RTS and DTR refer to the RS232 control lines. www.electronics-notes.com/articles/connectivity/serial-data-communications/rs232-signal-voltage-levels.php. The FTDX10 series works best with just USB control, especially with wsjt-x.

[@hamradiocq]

How do you set it up with "just USB control?"

[@paulhastings3109]

I had to get interface to do F 8 No idea about cw

[@hamradiocq]

Ok.

[@michaellundy6481]

Am I correct in understanding that you were able to use N1MM+ to key your rig w/o any external (e.g., MORTTY CW, WinKeyer, etc.) keyer interface? I've been trying to copy what you did using a SERIAL (not USB-Serial) cable. I've been able to trigger the rig's TX light, but not to actually key. Also using FTDX10. I may have to go the USB cable route.

[@dasiekar]

Witaj, fajny film. Mam pytanie, czy możesz pomóc w prawidłowym ustawieniu FTDX10 i N1MM do pracy w RTTY? Ja ustawiłem N1MM z FLdigi do pracy w RTTY, jednak po włączeniu nadawania w radiu włącza się PTT i jest nośna, ale nie ma modulacji. Próbowałem różnych ustawień, ale nic to nie dało, może Ty możesz mi coś podpowiedzieć w tym temacie.

[@paulhastings3109]

This might work on my FTDX-1200

[@hamradiocq]

Actually I think it will. For Ham Radio Deluxe they did not have a FT-DX10 Config file so I actually used the FTDX-1200 file and it worked!!!

[@paulhastings3109]

@@hamradiocq what do you think about HRD, is it worth the money over free

[@RichardLawn]

I wish I could say I was completely successful. Unfortunately when N1MM keys the rig and send CW the character spacing is horrible and Dits and Dahs seem to be all the same length. What did i miss. Thanks for posting a good video though. - Rick, W2JAZ

[@davidc720]

This video is invaluable and helped me get my FTdx10 running with N1NN. However, the pertinent information could be contained in a one or two minute video and I'd like to see that.

[@rifky8064]

Thanks you for seting cw computer and cat menu control ready contesting 73 YB3COY

[@mmorgida1475]

Were you able to get the FTDX10 to QSK when keying from N1MM? I can get the keying to work, just can't seem to get QSK. de aa2ma
