7. The Radio Today guide to the Yaesu FTDX101

208 pages
This book includes useful tips and tricks for the configuration and operation of the amazing Yaesu FTDX101D and FTDX101MP transceivers. Rather than duplicate the manuals which describe each button, function, and control individually, I have used a more functional approach.
This is a how to do it book with easy to follow, step-by-step instructions. For example, I describe how to set up the transceiver for SSB operation. Then I follow that up for CW, FM, RTTY, PSK, and external digital mode software such as FT8.
The aim is not to replace the manual but to more fully explain how to configure and operate the radio to take advantage of its many great features. For example, when I cover the front panel controls, I explain not only what the control does, but how and when to use it.
Along the way, I offer a few tips’ on how I configured my radio. You don’t have to follow these suggestions, but they provide some guidance. The FTDX101 transceivers have superb technical specifications, and the FTDX101D currently holds the top position on the highly regarded Sherwood Engineering transceiver performance table.

Pass Your GROL License Test builds on the successful “Easy Way” series of Amateur Radio license manuals. Other commercial radio license study books take you through the questions and all possible answers on the multiple choice test. The problem with that approach is that you must read three wrong answers for every one right answer.
That’s 432 wrong answers and 144 right answers for GROL Element 1 and 1,800 wrong answers and 600 right answers for Element 3. Why study 2,232 wrong answers? There is nothing to learn there. The unique Easy Way approach has four elements. First, you never see wrong answers so you should recognize the right answer on the test.
The wrong answers will look strange and unfamiliar. Second, the text explains the answers using plain English. Third, a summary at the end of each Subelement contains a bullet version of the questions or concepts to reinforce your memory. Fourth, many of the questions and answers are long-winded and involved.
They are full of unnecessary information that can confuse you. Sometimes, all you need do is tie two words together to recognize the answer. Often, the question contains a clue to the correct answer. Hints and cheats help you decipher the question and reveal the hidden answer.
