This is what I had to do to set up the FT DX - 10
You might have to play with the sound card settings....Look at the RX Levels on the WSJT, but the above is what got me to make this work
Thank you for this info. I’m sure it will help when I’m ready to set up my DX-10 to work on FT8.
However, a few things I’ve read indicated that it’s better to use the Yaesu USB driver rather than the one from Silicon Labs. I don’t how true that is, it’s just what I’ve seen other people have written.
As far as i know is the recommended Yaesu usb driver the same as the silicom driver.
