YAESU FTDX5000MP LTD short review with SM-5000 and Yaesu M-1

short review of the Yaesu FTDX5000MP LTD, Yaesu SM-5000 Station Monitor and Yaesu M-1 Reference Desk Microphone

To my mind, this is the best looking HF rig ever. I Loved the FT-101ZD and TS-530S looks and the TS-870S too when it came out in the 90's, but this rig (not so much the scope) is just exciting to look at and I'd imagine it's a pleasure to use. I'm an FTdx3000 owner.

The best demo on this rig on the internet! I really liked your demonstration of the VFO A and B, the DNR and the ability to listen to two stations at the same time. Great job!!

Great radio and enjoyed your video. I’ve also purchased same radio as yours only received it 2 weeks ago along with the SM5000, plus the Yaesu M-100 microphone. Haven’t put my antenna up yet. Looking forward to firing it up soon. Hope to see more of your videos ! Cheers and good DX-ing !

Great video Amboy! A very clear and thorough demonstration of some very fine equipment!

Amboy, This is a great explanation of the 5000. If you still have the rig, it would be nice to get some sort of a review on the sub receiver. As many have claimed it is not up to par with the primary receiver.
I’d love to see how that works too. You did a great job on this video thank you so much my friend!
