I used a common hig impedance buffer to get an “RF second receiver” output (not an “IF out”) from my new Yaesu Rig.
In this way I am able to connect and use an external SDR.
I usually connect my RTX to the PC in order to manage all the audio via software.
This is my current setup (already working with an FT-991 rig) : Continue reading “Yaesu FTDX10 Audio USB and footswitch”
I publish this article now even though I wrote it in december 2018.
Here we are, again.. murphy’s law strikes back!
Some time ago I got, together with some fellow ham radio friends, this Icom rig.
This is the first time I buy something “non Yaesu” because I was attracted by a multitude of positive reviews (most of all coming from our uncle Sam colleagues); furthermore for the appetite for hybrid SDR technology and because of the hardware maturity of the model.
Sometimes I was thinking about signal reports I got during various QSOs (ssb). I would like to dig into this topic since I now have an RF signal generator and I am very into measurement and lab experiments on antennas and rigs (I do not have any perfection claim, but it’s just to confirm my builds with numbers) Continue reading “Thoughts regarding the S-Meter”
In this article I change the (in)famous 3 faulty Toko filters with Murata equivalent, due to the well known desensitization problem present in rigs such as Yaesu 857,897, kenwood ts2000, etc…
Regarding this 857d I fixed for a friend, it seems the problem is related to units produced some years ago, but not the newest hardware releases. Continue reading “Yaesu 857d ceramic filters repair”
