FTDX101D or IC7610 ? - VK4CCV - 06-07-2024
Hi All,
This is more focused towards the people who may be familiar with both the Yaesu FTDX101D and Icom IC7610.
I currently have a FTDX5000MP which I am happy with, but as technology has improved, I'd like to get into rigs that are Software Derived.
From what I have reduced it down to is either the FTDX101D or the IC7610, which from what I understand are very evenly matched.
My focus is based around Noise Reduction.
For those who know both, what's your opinion?

If NR is one of your primary concerns - what about a Anan rig with Thetis software. Very steep learning curve but very high quality audio and perhaps best NR of any radio.

My vote would be for the IC 7610 out of those 2 options.
A local bloke to me had a 101mp and after 18 months or so hocked it for a 7610, He didn't like the menu structure i think was his gripe? But as you're a yaesu man already that might not be a concern to you.
I have the 7610 and I love it, had it nearly 4 years now.
But either way you cant lose mate.
