You're right, prospective buyers must NOT look at the Sherwood or ARRL performance figures. All these recent top of the line rigs are within a few % of each other, and you won't notice the difference on air. It's like comparing a Chev with 337 horse power to a Ford with 339 horse power - you will not notice the extra 2 hp on the road. Rather look at how comfortable you feel in the seat, and how you like the layout of the dashboard.

Thanks for the video. One of the things I like on the. 101 vs the FTDX-10 is the band select. I own the FTDX-10, and one of the things that really annoys me is the 3 second 'clock' you have to beat to change bands. If you miss it, you have to start over. Having the band buttons on the front panel of the 101 is really nice. I feel like I don't have to race the clock to switch bands.

Nicely done Eric (except the constant irritating swaying of the camera during the first 7 or so minutes) and I agree that the on paper numbers are close enough that for us that are not top notch contesters or DXers, the real world performance would not be different enough to worry about. Either one would do, and do well! I think I am partial to the Yaesu, but then most of my radios are Yaesu except for the Heathkit - which should satisfy Mike C's concerns on repairs. Can't wait for more on satellites.

I much prefer the ICOM's waterfall display (very similar to sonar displays) and their smoothed display above the waterfall. With that said, I prefer everything else about the Yaesu. I love the LEDs to indicate which band you're on for main/sub, and how those colours are carried across to every other relevant control.

Nice Review! The actual review (minus the introductory commentary) starts just shy of 7 minutes into the video. A technical point also missed by Nagy's review: The VC tune is designed for near station interference on the same band. The Digi-Sel is designed for rejecting strong, nearby interference that is at least 1 Mhz away from the primary frequency (typically out of band). It is not designed to alter noise/interference that is in-band. The DSP filtering and and RF gain/attenuation help with QRM and QRN that one is hearing on the same band. One other nice feature of the 7610 (see October 2018 QST Review) is the APF for CW - allowing one to peak up to 6 dB the CW signal, adjust the frequency of the APF and adjust the passband. The LCD monitor colors on your review are not factory default - as the default settings look much better than the orange no-fill you chose I think. It would be nice to show RTTY signals with both bandscopes. The Icom is a primary SDR which means that the mark/space of the RTTY signal is much easier to see and tune in than a traditional super-heterodyne transceiver. I have not seen the RTTY signal on the Yaesu; it would be helpful to see if it is like the 7610.

I picked up a 7610 used after playing with the 7300. Simply because I was familiar with the Icom menu system and liked the look of the 7610 over the 101D. But I also have an old FT-101ZD Mk0 to play with and a TS-430S. Your method is effective, because while the technical details are important (in a lab setting there may be a difference, real world likely not noticeable), the size and look and connections, etc., on the radio are important considerations.

I would LOVE to see you make a video explaining that change a bit, and what you now like about Icom over the Yaesu's.. I'm new to the hobby, just ordered a ft991a, only because it has everything in one box (I have very limited space, and have no idea what I will end up liking...). In shopping, I also found the icoms menu's and touchscreens easier/more ergonomic. But they don't offer a "shack in the box" type solution. Thanks

I've got a ftdx101d and an Icom 7610, and I've tested both extensively in the CQWWcw contest, in very crowded bands. I have not heard any station in the ftdx101 that I couldn't hear in the 7610. Both transceivers are the same in a real world. Actually, the 7610 has better sound, more bass, is smooth, easier to get good reception without needing to do so many adjustments. In laboratory ftdx101d shines, but in real world you don't notice any difference. The only advantage of 101d is that reducing rf gain at max level is quieter, but it does not receive more... And referring to selectivity, I've not noticed any difference, having tested every filter, apf, nr, dnr, vc tune, etc. with all adjustments possible. NB works better in 7610, DNR works better in cw in 101d, because in 7610 DNR works only till number 9 setting (from 9 to 15 there are no differences)... Anyway, both are very goog tranceivers, but for me Icom has best software, more bells and whistels (lan, recordings, watches, i/q output, connectivity, settings more complete and adjustable, better waterfall, is user friendly, etc...). Ftdx101d is externally well built and beautifull, but needs to improve bugs ...

I did the magic on field day this year with the 7610. For the past decade I did the magic with a Kenwood 940sg and before that I did the magic with a 520s for over 20 years. In fact, I sometimes miss the simplicity of the 520s. I was intending to buy the Yaesu, but one of the dealers had a few IC-7610's but due to Supply Chain issues, I couldn't find a Yaesu anywhere. Overall third of my contacts were too weak to print on the waterfall, but I still heard and worked them. I love Icom's narrow bandwidth filter because it reduces my workload by not having to filter in my head. My Softrock Ensemble II turned me off to direct sampling years ago, but the big three have taken it to a new level, putting it on par with the superhets so I gave it a second chance. I haven't yet tried the Yaesu, but the 7610 is a good radio, although it does look less sexy.

Sherwood tells you which transceivers are more capable/robust/refined than others at what they are supposed to do as RADIOS. You want something that's a high-quality gear, right? You look at a few FINE radios at Sherwood site, look at their prices, decide that, say, these 5 are great at the prices you can afford. AFTER THAT you look at esthetics/beauty, ergonomics, connectivity,... That should narrow it down to a couple of transceivers. THEN you ask your HEART (!) what it desires, and buy the transceiver it points at. After that you ENJOY the radio and screw everybody else's price ranges, esthetic criteria, hearts,...!!!! It's for YOU to use and to be happy. To say that Sherwood data does not mean much is wrong. Every manufacturer will tell you that their transceiver is THE BEST, and will list really good performance numbers; you, as a consumer, don't have expertise and all the necessary equipment to measure/verify dynamic range, etc; only a very capable and INDEPENDENT lab, like Sherwood, will test ALL of those transceivers and tell us how they compare in reality; it's like a world-wide contest for gear manufacturers. We want to know who's winning and who's dropping the ball. It's all a part of ham radio fun. Comparing two great transceivers side by side in an everyday environment has its benefits (ergonomics,...) but to REALLY compare any gear for performance, you need some specific, DIFFICULT TO HANDLE situations (week signal with strong stations nearby, noise,...) That said, even if you have just 400 bucks, you can buy something old but decent, and chances are you will make more DX contacts than somebody with the best gear that costs 6 grand. You can enjoy this hobby with any gear, including (and especially!) home-made. That's the beauty of ham radio.

I will say this much, it does not matter how expensive the transceiver you get for your ham station is as much as what kind of antenna system you connect to it. If your antenna is not resonant enough, it does not matter which transceiver you use, you will just waste a lot of power from your rig as heat. The antenna system is much more important than the transceiver model. 73 VE7NDE

Selectivity features simply work better on the Yaesu. And strong adjacent signals will be tamed better on the Yaesu. It's simply a better receiver. Better noise reduction too. Will you be in conditions that you will notice? Maybe, maybe not. The Icom is great, but even in day to day operation I find nicer on the Yaesu. I have a DX10 and 7300, the single channel versions from Yaesu and Icom. Easily put, the blocking dynamic range is a measure on how strong a signal can be 2KHZ away before affecting the signal you are listening to. One other thing I think Yaesu does better. RF gain. In the Yaesu, when I back off of RF gain, on the DX10, it doesn't affect the RX strength of the signal but it quiets the noise floor on the radio. It's really not a squelch, in that you can still hear signals below the RF gain floor somewhat. It's like an opaque window. It creates an almost FM like quiet listening experience. The Icom RF gain takes the noise AND the signal and just attenuates it. SO you do not improve the S/N ration with the RF gain. The Icom's are a really nice design but if you are going for optimum performance, go Yaesu. The 7610 cannot accomplish the numbers with the A/d chips although they are close. Superhet design costs more to make but it has advantages. The 101D is a superhet front end followed by a narrow SDR for the RX functions, and a wide band SDR for the display functions. It is a much more complex design. Direct sampling is the future IMO but to get chips that perform like the hybrid design, its a lot of $$

I can’t speak to the 7610 as I’ve never used one Eric, but I can tell you my FTDX101MP is the most incredible receiver I’VE EVER HEARD! The “needle“ says “S - zero“ but I can understand and copy everything the person is saying to me. The 101 is “a completely different animal“ when it comes to receivers. The DNR is incredible. The “VC Tune” allows you essentially to increase the signal within the passband. When you use it in combination with the DNR it can make unreadable signals copyable. It’s an amazing rig. I HIGHLY recommend the FTDX 101’s. WOW! KZitem videos to come.

I actually like both methods Eric. I appreciate Bob Nagy’s extensive review on the numbers between these two rigs. It was well done as is yours. Yours is more of a “practical persons review“ of the two rigs which is helpful as well. So thanks for doing this legwork so we can all see for ourselves between these two very special rigs. I’ve personally had a QSO with a guy in the bay area San Francisco who said he was one of the first to buy the 7610 and he had the dreaded “screen burn in problem.“ He said he’s spent hundreds of dollars shipping the radio back-and-forth and they won’t replace the screen. I don’t know the whole story, but he was very adamant about that. He also said that the “screen burn in problems“ are only on the very early rigs. The current radios shouldn’t have that problem because they are from a different display manufacturer. If you buy a current 7610, you shouldn’t have the screen “burn in problem” ever happen to you. Just a note there that others might not know. Thanks again for the video Eric!

I appreciate you trying to be as basic and easy to understand as possible. People dont seem to think how hard it is for people new to amateur radio. So many guys and gals have been trained up by somebody or was in to it since they were young. I am completly new to radio and have no clue about any of it. Yes, I do have my technician license which I just got last week after passing test, but even though you pass test doesnt mean you know anything about radio. For example, as you go on talking about these radios I had to Goole numerious subjects you spoke of. I dont know what key jacks are, I dont know what external ALC means, what the heck are SO-239 conncetors, what are BNC connectors, what does transimtt ground PTT mean? These are all things I have or least had no clue about (until I Googled these things while watchng video) while watching this and other videos. How are we to learn what all these things are and how to use them. So many classes I find are classes to help you pass the exam, which I took, and it didnt teach me anything other than how to pass the test. There are so many people who want so badly to get in amateur radio, but dont even know where to start. Now that I have my license I recently got a cheap Baofeng radio and it took me awhile to figure out how to program it (after wacthing about 7 videos) to use on the local repeaters. This is a very fun and interesting hobby to be a part of, but again I dont even know where to start with all this. I really want to get a base station, and you did help me understand somewhat of what these things do, but again im clueless about what power supply to get how to hook up antennas etc etc. I wish there was a ham 101 class that teaches you everything you neeed to know about these radios and how to operate them effeciently and effectively. I want to be taught like im in the 2nd grade when it comes to these radios. The basics of the basics. Thanks for the video and you have yourself a new subscriber!

Matt Coffelt An important thing about the Kenwood is it is not a software-defined radio like these two radios. The technology is completely different making it hard to do anything more than a cursory review. These two radios have significant feature and operational differences vs the Kenwood that largely exist because of the fact that they are software-defined. This also makes them ripe for evolution and improvement at a much faster rate - possibly without changing models. The Kenwood, as good as I and others think it is, is built on traditional radio technology that, aside from some minor firmware updates, is pretty much a fixed point in time. This isn’t a bad thing; it just makes it hard to do a relevant comparison to these two rigs.

First let me say this was an outstanding fantastic wonderful review of the two radios. However I Watched the entire video for something that was important for me but you did not mention it. Which one has CW decoder and which one does not I see you failed to say that yaesu has a CW decoder. The icom absolutely “does not”!!! and I was hoping you would show how well the yaesu decoded the CW.

The Yaesu has CW decode; the Icom does not.

Most of the decoders are nearly useless unless you try to receive CW sent by a computer. Straight key, a bug or somewhat sloppy paddle operator and they won't decode much. The best decoder is between human ears. NO computer can compete with it yet.

@@andrewevanoff1192 I have a Xiegu G90 and when I get the filter bandwidth just right and all the things right on my radio the CW coder does outstanding. I mean fantastic. It has a blinking light and when it starts blinking you can adjust The fine-tuning and then like magic it decodes wonderfully

The opereator on the other end will never know what radio you are using just buy whatever you like , just remember to put up the best antenna you can and decent coax.

Thanks for the great side by side review. Some of the technical information out there about radios causes brain overload and might as well be written in a foreign language. Keep up the great videos. W8BRY

Since the looks have a strong role in the final decision, can you please tell me if the 7610 can have the "needle type" s-meter? There are many pictures of the 7610 with this tyoe, but asking to a very well known comentator, he said NO.

Awesome video. Thanks for doing this. Both amazing rigs. I’ve been spoiled with having a flex along with the maestro. Both of these radios offer in their own right great features. Thanks for sharing. AA1US.

Direct Sampling Amateur Radio transceivers, A transceiver that has Adaptive Notch Filter can remove any interfering signal and leave just the wanted signal so it sounds like that are are just next door or in the same room as the person you are communicating with and no need for any add-ons, I think you need a second mortgage to afford both transceivers, DSP processing means you get more functionality from a smaller unit and if you can expand the Transceiver memory and upgrade the ROM modules you can get everything you could ever want from a transceiver, I think Windows is old hat if you could replace the old OS with something like TrueOS+Proton Windows compatibility layer and install the ICOM/YAESU version of PowerSDR you won't have to worry about virus as viruses attack Windows not Linux so much, If you have lots of room get the YAESU FT101D or less room get the ICOM-7610, Josh/Eric just trade in the other radio that you own if you feel that the YAESU makes you want to buy it or via versa.

One note with the Yaesu. Again I have an FTDX10. you cannot use the keyboard in a digital QSO. That's a big bummer for me. You can only use it to load memories. It's impossible to have a RTTY or PSK QSO with the radio and keyboard alone. The FTDX-10 looks the same. Praying for a firmware update to fix that. It has an awesome RTTY decoder and a built in sound card.

I like your approach. When asked what radio I should get? I tell people the same thing Ask yourself 2 questions questions. What do I want to do with it? What can I afford? Then start researching radios. You can download user manuals for most radios free. Some radios have some pretty complicated menus to access some features. Keep in mind, unless you have a good antenna system even the most expensive radio won't help. You may be able to hear them but, they cannot hear you. Nice video 73's Gary KF6EWO

Don't sell yourself short. You may not know all the technological aspects but you share the information that a newbee needs. I watched you 2 years ago and you were giving a 7300 vs 991a side by side. I liked some aspects of both but rather than buy a 7300 I went with the 991a because of the backlite keys, 2 and 70cm and the fact that I was already geared for Yaesu. I fell your side by side gave me, the newbee the information I needed to make a good decision though either radio would be a good choice depending on what you are looking for in a radio. I can make it sound better but I can't add channels to it so Yaesu is the one for me.
