Pictures and text on how I setup the FTDX101 & USB Cord for FT8 mode: PDF Download.
Note:
- Yaesu revised their firmware April 7, 2021 with updates that included PRESETS that are for the FT8 mode and use USB (not Data).
- The Yaesu PDF addendum "Added_ PRESETS_ Function" shows "Set up for FT8 operation" and it displays using USB mode for FT8.
- Remember to turn off Equalizer when using PRESET for USB FT8 and to turn off PRESET when in USB voice.
(Unfortunately missing in the firmware menus is when the PRESET is on for FT8 mode in USB, it does not have ability to turn off the Equalizer. The audio equalizer if used for voice needs manually turned off during digital use [Function button/MIC/EQ/OFF].
---------------- The latest firmware update is August 1, 2023 ----------------
Very easy to install using the SD card.
It adds some features and fixes some bugs and "Other improvements and optimizations".
