In this video I use Intercept Point Optimization to pull out a very weak signal while improving the S/N ratio of a stronger signal.
I cover the many capabilities of the FTdx10 in the “Additional FTdx10 Videos” list on the Collections page of my Patreon site. There are nearly 100 tutorial videos, as of the release of this video. You can view the full series by becoming a supporter of my channel at: www.Patreon.com/N4HNH
At the end of this video, you will be able to see a listing of some of the supporters of this channel who made this video possible. These are people who have supported the channel via Patreon membership, as what I call long-haulers. Long-haulers have supported the channel on a long-term basis. There are 4 levels of Patreon membership, including S5 (Associate), S7 (Executive), S9 (VIP), and S9+ (VIP+). S9+ (VIP+) denotes an S9 (VIP) member who voluntarily chooses to give over and above the amount for S9 (VIP) membership. They help me continue to produce videos even though most people do not contribute toward the cost of my mission. Without their support, I cannot bring my viewers uncensored content.
I hope you enjoy this video and find it helpful. If you find my channel informative and entertaining, I hope you will consider joining my support group by clicking on: www.patreon.com/N4HNH There are 3 levels of support, including exclusive content. Visibility of premium content is determined by the level of membership you choose. The higher the membership level, the more content you have access to. VIP members are invited to participate in periodic Zoom meetings.
Most videos are visible to the Patreon team members long before they are released for public viewing. Some videos are never released for public viewing. Annual S7 (Executive) and S9 (VIP) members have access to the menu optimizations PDFs I’ve written for the FT-891, FT-991A, FTdx5000MP, FTdx101D/MP, FTdx10, and FT-710 AESS. Annual S7 (Executive) members can receive one menu optimizations PDF while abbual S9 (VIP) members can receive multiple menu optimizations documents, plus my FT8 configuration guide for either the FTdx10 or the FT-710 AESS. Future radios might be added. The documents are copyrighted. They shall not be divulged to anyone else without written permission from Doug McAlexander, callsign N4HNH.
N4HNH Radio has a Web site where you can purchase T-shirts with some of the sayings you might hear in the videos. Some of the more prominent videos are featured there as well as a page geared toward ham radio training. Go to: https://www.n4hnhradio.com

Good educational video no matter what radio you have. I use IPO most of the time. 73!
Question on IPO and AMP 1. In theory, which gives you a proper Signal reading everybody has a very opinion. I love IPO myself. I’m not sure I’m getting a true Signal reading on the received station.
Guess I could’ve waited one more sentence. I think you answered my question. Thank you.
I leave my FTDX10 in IPO unless I need AMP1/AMP2
Amp1 to the Rescue!! I was having a hard time hearing anyone the other day. Switched to Amp1 from IPO. BOOM!! S0 to S3. Volume went up 30db. But as stated already IPO is the norm.
Any new radios from Dayton my friend?
Thanks Doug for another amazing video! 👍👍👍
Thanks for the video but if you weren’t talking over that QSO I would have copied every word. QSB is just a part of the hobby. 73 N9XY
Thanks to Doug I’ve adapted all of his techniques dealing with noise to all my rigs but also, my marriage;)
another great real world video. Jerry KB2GCG
Brilliant as always glad to see someone else that understands what ipo is for this and rf gain are the first two things I use after tuning the antenna especially on the 817 . Just like mixing sound less is more.
Keep well friend de M0JFE
