FTdx101D
How and why I decided to buy the Yaesu FTDX101D
I first decided to purchase a SDR based transceiver, I have a few friends that have them.
So I ordered the Icom IC-7300 from GPS Central in Calgary AB.
Unfortunately the new transceiver had more than a few problem
(Note: it was just this particular radio)
What a radio...
NOTE: This radio has a "built in soundcard" (via USB cable) and a SD Card slot to save you personal settings etc.)
The first thing I decided to do was create a spreadsheet of the 216 menus choices to keep track of the settings
like what I did for my FTDX3000
Here is a link to the blank Excel sheet - FTDX101D.xlsx
I have added more columns for the different operating modes like Voice/Data etc.
