Learn your rig! Geesh!

Be sure to do an apt update and an apt upgrade then reboot before you do any install, or you won't succeed in installing RadioBerry and Pihpsdr.

Interesting video, thanks! I think CW pitch is a personal thing, our hearing differs. For me 550hz is way too low it does not "pop" from the background noise especially at higher speeds with weak signals. I have been running 700hz for the last 30+ years so anything else feels wrong even to my now aging ears. I have also found that turning the AGC off is fine if you are replying to a station and you can set RF gain and volume to taste but when I am on the calling side of a pileup it is terrible, then the AGC fast option is the way to go with RF gain set just high enough to hear the weaker stations. I enjoyed the video, thanks! 73, Rudi de ZS6DX/ZS2M/ZS1BT/V51VE

Excellent, this video should be required for anyone who has a G90 : )

Very informative

Why do peaple keep listening the same old things about radios..cant they say something we all dont know.they seem to rhink they are the first to say these things lol..do you research and see if anyone else has said the same

So how does the Yeasu FTDX10 vs KX-3 and now the Lab 599 compare?

So I have a KX-3 do I get the Yeasu FT DX10 or the Lab599 for my next radio?

With my FTdx3000, I mounted a momentary pushbutton in a small box and connected it to the Tx Req In pin on the rear panel LINEAR plug. In any mode, I can press that button to get a steady carrier and releasing it returns everything to the previous mode/settings. One can select between 10/20/50/100 watts, via Menu #178. I find 10 or 20 watts is more than adequate to dial in my tuner and/or amplifier. I'm sure the very same thing is possible on the FTdx10.

Great review and help on the settings. This radio is on my wish list. Thanks

I just ordered this bag. looks like I have to buy the bracket also. Always additional expenses when it comes to radios :). 73

I learned CW back in 1989 to get my A licence and although never used it much since. But one thing is I have never lost how to send it. It has always stayed in my head even being away from the hobby for 20 years. Only issue is my read speed but in time it will return. My situation will change in September and I will finally be able to get back on HF with my IC705. Great video and all the best 73 de G0LQP

May I ask why you do not use squelch ?

I know this is an old video. I hope I get a reply. But this is exactly what I need. Question. Will these work to just play my acoustic instrument into a PA (Bose speaker) For live performances? I don’t need to record. Just be on stage, lavalier attached to the instrument and play through the speaker? Any info will be greatly appreciated.

The DELIBERATLY MISSING spectrum display "averaging function" is a real disappointment. Other pricier Yaesu's have it. Also the usb wireless mouse incompatibilities issue is beyond belief. I suspect this radio was never intended to "point & click" the spectrum to change frequencies - only push buttons in the setup menus.

Had the dx 10 but to be honest I like the ft dx 991A

This is a really well done vid, 🙏

I agree, CW is a lot of fun. I found out after getting my ticket back in 2020, I quickly started learning CW and it has been my main mode since then. I immersed myself in it, I first learned the alphabet, I use a app given to me by a CW Academy instructor called CW_Player 30wpm with 1 second between characters and practice everyday for instant character recogition, between that and listening to QSOs everyday when I get a chance at work via a websdr when I'm not at home, making at least 1 to 10 QSOs a night I am getting better and better. My comfortable speed is 19-20wpm now. My first live QSO I just jumped in, it was terrifying yet exhilarating. After that 1st cw I was hooked. My Clublog statistics over the past 3 years is 95+% CW QSOs. I'm also hooked on QRP operation. I've recently built two QRP Labs QCX minis (20m and 40m) and use those to activate POTA and just have fun. Something about building your rig that makes it fun to use. For Data, I have been having fun with JS8Call. 72, 73 de AI5DD I'm also interested in your class!

THANK YOU !!! for this great tutorial ! I am an old Ham with hearing problems, just now learning CW . I am about to purchase a G90 and believe that it's fine tuning you have demonstrated will allow me to work CW better . 73 a Tennessee Ham .

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I just ordered one today.

Great video

Push the Band button using your little finger. What's so hard about that?

Anyone knows if it can do 2.5 kHz deviation and narrow band?

Hi is there an option to chose unpaved roads ?! Or is just under the “advanture” level !? Thx

Are there any other modes than CW ? who would want that ?

I bought the DX-10 because its a hybrid and and has the same processor as the 101 series.

I completely disagree..your wrong

I simply cant make adventures routes. No mater what I do, I go on highways. I can make a adventures route in the tread app, but when syncronised to my XT2, the routes changed to different settings. Do someone have the same problem?

this i like.

The XT has traffic and weather also. Riding around Washington, DC, I depend on the traffic automatically routing me around jams. The road conditions and weather radar are on the weather page. Very useful.

the russian transceiver. junk. made for peace in a very military style. very russian - say one thing and do completely different. George Orwell is still valid. and should I tell you that supporting russian economy you are supporting their army? their military crimes and the kremlin?

Thank you for this excellent tutorial. Can you please explain how to enter the exact address of a hotel at the last stop of the day. Many thanks, Steve

Hi there. I recently also experimented with my Rode Go mics. I was very impressed how easy and little fuss it was. Will go and import the files into Cubase to see if usable in studio recordings. So far with some EQ and a few tweaks I don’t see why not 😊. Thanks for confirming the good sound you also get, and I agree, you have no reason to apologise for your playing or singing. Keep going. God bless

Did you also use it for QSO on your motorcycle?

What is the Martin guitar model ? Om body shape like Eric Clapton signature model

Hi, great advice. What key is that?

You picked a C90 over an FTDX-10 😆🤣😆🤣

Great video! Just what I needed. I’m a new CW Op/ham and usually fall in on radio as is. So I adjust to the radio setting out the box. I wish I had an Elmer who can sit next to me whilst setting up my G90. I’m a lone wolf here in an area space of Hams never mind CW operators. I hope to make a QSO with sometime! 72 MM7BFL

TUNE,CW MODE,,,,PTT BUTTON ON THE MIC WILL KEY IT..

With all due respect, you're absolutely wrong dear OM. When i first started in 2017 I spent so much money on what was dubbed a "beginner" setup. It was a Yaesu FT-450D, an LDG automatic atu and power supply (which was overkill for my power restrictions). I got through many different antennas which would tentatively tune. It all cost me well over £1000. Fast forward six years, i got a G90 which does all of the above (with a rudimentary power supply), is far simpler to operate with limited to no technical knowledge, has a waterfall and the ATU can tune a wet noodle. All for less than half the price. It is an ideal radio for beginners. Just because to need to get to know the unit a bit before getting the most out of it you would discredit it for newbies? That could apply to ALL radios. Just read the manual!

👍 interesting and helpful, thanks

I completely disagree, the G90 has only a few settings where as a Icom 7300 or the like has so many adjustments that it will overwhelm most newbies. The G90 has just enough option settings to be useful but not overbearing. Many new ICOM 7300 users have bad audio because they don't know how to adjust the many settings and they don't get the full potential of the radio The G90 is easy for anyone to get the full potential of the radio. Yes it doesn't have audio processing but that can interfere if not adjusted right. The G90 is hard to get out of adjustment because it is so simple. 20 watts is the sweet spot between QRP and a 100 watt radio. 20 watts is only about 1 S unit lower than 100 watts so new operators wont get discouraged with not being heard. In my opinion the G90 is a perfect starter radio and a main radio for budget conscious or portable users. With plenty of accessories, parts, and user support combined with a 1.5 yr warranty you really can't go wrong.

G90 is an excellent radio for beginners, you have to learn any radio ! Be sides,lots of RUclips videos on setup, settings and how to get started. I own two,one for pota and the shack !

Fantastic

Thanks for sharing. You get what you pay for I think. For cw I think the qcx is biggest bang for your money. I also run the ts 480hx, qrp-qro, home, portable or mobile, rain price for a rig that does everything. 73 zl3xdj

Great video. I am 90% cw, and some qrp with the qcx and simple vertical ant. Cw uses narrow bandwidth, less qrm, simple equipment and great knowing I have another skill. 73 hej hej. Zl3xdj.

Thanks for the nice and clear explanation! Driving with a Zumo XT 1 at the moment. Nice piece of equipment but miss the routeplanner at the device as with the zumo xt2 Also thinking of going for the xt2 to pair with the sena headset and iPhone for music and calls. The streaming by the tft of the bmw r1250gs is not that great. What is your opinion after using the xt2? Thanks again for your advice. Cheers from the Netherlands. Rob

I realize this video is 2 years old, but regarding the lack of mic jack in the detachable head. A lot of people put the display head on the sun visor and the radio under the seat with the mic cord running up between the seats. That way if you throw the mic under the seat and flip the sun visor up, no one can see any part of the radio from outside the car. The display is right in front of your face if you need to change something and the mic can be hidden quite easily under a newspaper or something if you don't want it under the seat. I like this radio for the same reasons you pointed out: Its simple. That is GOOD while driving. I feel a radio in a car does not need to do packet, digital wiz-bangery or a host of other things.

What is that flashing yellow LED at top right on the face? Is it a peak incoming signal indicator? I find it really annoying. Can it be disabled? Thank you.

With the Yaesu FTdx-10, it feels like you're listening with your ear to a well!
