Great video. No one can explain it as good as you. In all my years of radio I’ve never had things explained in a logical and easy to understand way. Thanks to you!

I just got a yeasu radio, my first. Waiting to get an antenna up but am learning about the reciever with a wire across the floor. Your video removed a lot of mystery. Thanks

Great video! Thank you for doing this style of teaching. Do you have a video that deals with noise on the 20 and 40 meter bands? I just got an older Kenwood 570 and I would love to learn how to deal with noise when the signal is not very strong to begin with.

Pulling signals from the noise floor is probably the main thrust of my channel. There are currently 112 videos in the HF Noise Interference playlist. That said, the Yaesu radios have DSP capabilities that excel at mitigating noise. The FTdx10, FTdx101D/MP, and FTdx5000MP are the best among the Yaesu transceivers at mitigating noise. The digital noise reduction algorithms and the Contour filter are fantastic for helping pull a weak signal out. But you always start with IPO, on 20m and lower. In Kenwood radios, the equivalent to IPO is no preamp. Kenwood digital noise reduction is not one of their best features, and there is no Contour filter. You can somewhat simulate a Contour filter by running the manual notch filter at a wide setting. Sweep it up and down the band until you can hear the weak SSB signal the best. I showed this technique in one of the videos when I compared the IC-7300 to Yaesu radios. I used the manual notch filter in the IC-7300 to simulate a Contour filter.

A little off topic for this video but I’m wondering about your experience. There is a menu item to select the function of the RF knob, setting it to either RF or squelch (SQL). It would seem that the rig ought to switch to SQL whenever you go into FM mode but it doesn’t. The fT-891 I have does. Is there a menu option I’ve missed or is this another fix Yaesu needs to make? It also doesn’t store in memory.

The FTdx5000MP has a separate squelch knob and RF Gain knob, one for each receiver. The FT-891 and FTdx10 have a menu option for either squelch or RF Gain, for SSB and AM. As I recall, the FT-891 does switch to squelch when operating in FM mode. The FTdx10 doesn’t. That would be a good suggestion for Yaesu’s Contact Us page. 73, de N4HNH
