DX10's #2 Rated For More Than Its Raw Numbers
Review by
Mike - N4ONL
I’ve ran several Icom, Kenwood, and Yaesu rigs in my almost half a century as a Ham, and the DX10’s Sensitivity, Selectivity, Sound Quality, Features... beats them all, especially for price to performance. You don’t have to be a contester to appreciate a rig like this that can dig those weak interfeared with signals out of the dirt to grab that rare DX station.
Many, including Rob Sherwood claim that if the rig is rated in the top 10-20 in his ratings there is very little noticeable difference in RX sensitivity and selectivity. BUT theirs more to a rigs performance than just its numbers, here’s what known trusted reviewers say...
***The [DX10] RX is so audibly better and more sensitive than the 7300, I engaged the DNR and was even more astonished, it was so clean. I despise the 7300’s DNR, as very warbly, very artificial sounding… I sold my 7300.
-Bob Brodovsky (K6UDA, YouTube)
***The 7300 is a good entry level radio. The DX10 has better features, better RX filtering, better performance, better tuning… if you want a contest level radio get the DX10. Their not in the same category, their not in the same ballpark, they really shouldn’t be compared to each other.
-Jason KC5HWD (Ham Radio 2.0, YouTube)
***Read Bob – AB5N’s Gigaparts review below, and he’s an Icom fan.
CW guys claim that learning Morse and working CW is a rewarding skill. Learning how to setup and use this Very High Rated rig is also a rewarding skill, and you don’t have to learn another language to do so. Try it You’ll Like It!

The FT-DX10 is a lot of radio for the money
Review by
JOHN
I had a 7300 for a few years and my buddy got a FT-DX10 and I tried it out about 5 different times and I had to have one. Sold my 7300 to another friend and purchased the Yaesu FT-DX10. I got use to the 3DSS and it's all I use now. It's like a advancement to the old regular water fall we been using. and wow it amazing how the DX10 separates 2 signals close to each other & the DNR. the radio is so quite compared to to my old Icom 7300 and other radios. The DX10 has so much to offer. so happy with my purchase. can't wait to add a "cat touch" display to it. look it up. The FT-DX10 is so much radio for the $. Thank you GigaParts & thank you for packing it with such care, mine arrived in perfect shape, the double boxing and airbags kept my radio safe and undamaged on delivery .

Amazing HF Rig
Review by
JOHN
The Yaesu FT-DX10 is a lot of radio for the $1,500.00. Got it a few weeks ago with the MFG.$100.00 off. With this Radio you have a amazing front end that cleans up the signal before handing it off to the SDR. No chance of Front end overload as with the IC-7300 (IC-7300 is 7 or 8 year old technology) now. This is the way to make a proper SDR radio. I had a IC-7300 I sold to cover part of the cost of this new FT-DX10 . It's incredible how 2 signals can be right by each other and with the FT-DX10 I can lock on to the one signal and the other signal next to us I can separate like its not there. My Ic-7300 could get close to this but could not achieve the same results. it notch filter is not as good. The Ft-DX10 is a excellent mid lever HF transceiver. the best new technology entry level is the Yaesu FT-710. if you don't mind 7 or 8 year old technology the IC-7300 is decent.

Excellent Value!
Review by
William
I have all the premium radios, the numbers are so close you will never notice the difference. My wife and sister in law are both new HF hams. They noticed the diffierence between the 7300 and the DX 10. Do not get me wrong, the 7300 is a good radio and easier to teach for a new ham (I know) The 890 also does not have dual receivers. For a newer ham, the DX 10 is perfect. I also have the FTDX 101 at my other QTH. Bill KG2CS

Best HF Radio I Ever Owned
Review by
Gil
During my 45 years as a licensed amateur radio operator, I have owned several HF rigs including Yaesu, Icom, Kenwood and Xiegu.
I just bought a new Yaesu FT-DX10 after much research. WOW and UNBELEVABLE is all I can say. The receiver is superb and the overall radio is a "work of art". Smooth and easy to operate. I love it!
I also need to say that GigaParts is an excellent dealer. Knowledgeable and helpful Chat representatives and excellent customer service.

Price Point
Review by
DavidD.
I can understand some of the remarks about there being "better" but I guess "better" comes at a much higher price point. Example, the TS-890 comes in around $4,300 while the FTdx10 comes in at $1,400. If you have the bucks go for it I say!!!

It IS better than the IC-7300
Review by
Bob - AB5N
I did not expect to be this impressed. The FTdx-10 has a far better receiver than the 7300. It also has PSK-31 and CW decoders. The lack of scope averaging (as of now) is not that big of a deal. The screen is so much better than the 7300 in many other ways. Having an external monitor connector is also another leg up on the 7300. It also has a lot more I/O on the rear. If you can afford the few extra hundred bucks, it is the way to go.

Great rig and value
Review by
Lanny, K1LEC
I had Icom hf rigs for 43 years, but recently retired and have become much more active. I had the opportunity to borrow an FTdx10 for three weeks in July and was wicked impressed with the receiver and its ability to clean up a signal. It works right out of the box, but I used N4HNH videos to fine tune equalizer settings, i.e. It has a built-in sound card, so you don't need a SignaLink. It decodes CW, but I didn't play with that feature. I bought my own and the M70 mike this fall and highly recommend both. This radio is an incredible value at the current price point.
