The band scope is so bad that it feels like an afterthought. It will only display the roofing filter setting, and since the roofing filters don't adjust by DSP bandwidth setting, the display is useless. For example, you can't simply look at the display and tell what your bandwidth is. There is hardly any "situational awareness" of important operating settings. This includes the actual front panel and the bizarre menu system. The radio seems well built.Įrgonomically, the radio is a hot mess. The main tuning knob and outside ring are a thing of beauty and a pleasure to fondle. You'd think that this alone would make it a keeper. I tried my hardest to like this radio, but it's just not for me.Īs stated many times, the receiver is world class, the best I've ever heard in 42 years of hamming. I used it in both CW and phone contesting, SSB and CW ragchewing. In summary, a great sounding transmitter that is joined at the hip with currently the world's best receiver.
#BESCOR MP 101 POWER SUPPLY MANUAL#
The manual is good and complete but Andrew Barron's book on the FTDX101D should be considered mandatory reading. The fan on the MP's power supply has to my knowledge never been heard. A Palstar LA-1K amplifier is on order as is a Palstar HF-Auto tuner and this duo will be back ending the 101MP. I am using a Palstar AT2K antenna tuner with the 101MP and a separate receive only antenna as well. Which after all is more than half the fun of a good rig.

There is lots to learn and explore with the radio. When I was setting up my station this time the fact that the 101MP comes with a power supply and a few more front end filters made it a no brainer.Īs Forrest Gump said."Its Like a Box of Chocolates" and the 101MP just never ceases to amaze me.
#BESCOR MP 101 POWER SUPPLY SOFTWARE#
This software also provides some control as well. In fact I use an iMAC and MACloggerDX as my primary logging software. I have not had any issues with firmware or any computer interface. Seasoned Hams have constantly asked."What are you using for a Microphone?". I have the M-1 Yaesu reference Microphone which along with my audio settings, are constantly garnering unsolicited positive comments. The 101MP can put out 1 to 200 watts PEP and I can tell you that I have done some experiments with the Reverse Beacon Network and CW which clearly shows me that 200 watts can make a huge difference to your signal's propagation. I tend to not use the Amplifier setting on receive so I cannot comment on their effectivity. Of course shifting and narrowing are knob controlled and very handy. The ability to Notch and Contour the signal interference is a wonderful set of tools. The rig's DNR, digital noise reduction is utterly amazing. The Yaesu FTdx101MP is by far the most selective and sensitive receiver on the market that I have had the pleasure to use and throughly enjoy.

The Yeasu FTdx101MP has joined my shack and the Icom IC-R8600 (which was my primary receiver) has left (at this time the best receiver ICOM makes). So I do appreciate the "ears" that a receiver has and totally understand the tools that most receivers bring to the table.
