One of the best radios money can buy. I have used and tested a lot of different high end rigs. A ftdx5000 is the only radio that has a better receiver than the ftdx3000. I also did a lot of side by side tests comparing my ftdx3000 to a new Elecraft k3. The Yaesu's receiver does a much better job receiving weak signals in high noise, contest environment. The Yaesu' RX is aslo noticeably quieter with a much better audio quality.

I am a happy recipient of a gently used ftdx3000. Before diving into the sdr hookup ideas, I'm working on trying to improve on the factory default receive settings. I did change the contour setting from the default -14 or so to a +16, Which has made a world of difference. I'm just wondering if you gentlemen with experience on this rig can recommend other settings and also whether you normally operate with the contour on or off. Thank you very much.

Hi Frank! Great video and description of how all this works. I am running the same setup, and it is truly fun to operate. 73, Brett KF5WXP

I did not know that the FTDX3000 had a RX Out! Thanks for letting me know about that feature! 73

Nice setup! Tnx for the video.

[@patmb2011]

if ur like me, and would like to give SDR-UNO a go on the FTdx3000 but not sure how to get started... this is a great explanation and he actually shows how the connections are made. kudo's Frank! much appreciated

[@stevenlawhon3695]

How do you operate with no ground attached?

[@jpintek]

Any thoughts about the ICOM 7300? 73,KC1ERO

[@NathanTheTall]

How does receiving audio from the SDRplay compare to that of the FT DX 3000?

[@revadan]

have you tried SDRuno with FTdx3000 and play?

[@jonneilsmyth9107]

hello frank yaesu ftdx 3000 is not listed in hamradio deluxe /HRD freeversion ? can i use another model or do you know of one sir?

[@VK5IR]

Would it matter if you connected the SDRPlay to the IF out of the FTDX-3000 instead of the RX out and what difference would it make? 73 VK5MTM

[@stevejones8665]

Blimey can't believe no one responded to your question in over 3 year's..you probably already know the answer. It would be far better to use the IF out phono Jack than the RX out one, the IF one allows you to use all the radios front end filtering unlike the RX out which is raw RF straight from the Antenna change over relay without any of the radios brilliant front end and filtering.. All you have to do is setup the SDR software to receive on the IF frequency. Greetings from down under from you Liverpool UK.👍😊

Hallo Frank, kannst Du mal bitte testen ob der SDRplay auf 400 bis 410mhz relativ taub ist?

[@FrankZosso]

+StuttgartHD Hallo, danke für Deine Frage. Gute Frage :) Vermute mal, es geht um Wetterballons. Habe an meinem QTH in dem Bereich besten Kabelempfang auf 400MHz :) Laut Spezifikation www.sdrplay.com/docs/SDRplay_Technical_Information_r1p4.pdf sehe ich zumindest theoretisch keine Probleme. Wie sieht Dein Setup des SDRPlay aus, hast du bereits Vergleichswerte? Die passenden Messgereäte habe ich persönlich leider nicht zur Hand.

[@StuttgartHD]

richtig wetterballons. 400-405 Mhz muss auf jedenfall frei sei, was du empfängst sind vermutlich Mischartefakte etc. Screenshot möglich? 403.500Mhz ist Payerne Sonde, die solltest Du gegen 13 Uhr und 0 Uhr empfangen. Selbst in Stuttgart bekomme ich die mit bis zu 30dB, je nach Wind. Teste einfach mal wenn die in der Luft ist und vergleiche dann die SNR Werte. Danke.

[@TonruNomad]

What is the name of the SDR software you are using with this setup?? Phil-K2PJR

[@FrankZosso]

+TonruNomad Hi Phil, sdr-radio.com/ , it is available free of charge for hobby users such as radio amateurs and shortwave enthusiasts. HDSDR would work as well. 73

[@FrankZosso]

+TonruNomad Also there are public sdr out on the web that you can connect to using SDRConsole. status.sdrspace.com/onair.xml
