It has arrived! 5 days from Nevada (UK) to Australia is as good as it gets!

Quick observations:

The DX-10 is MUCH smaller in size to what I was expecting from seeing it in the photos and videos. It is very compact! The build quality looks and feels very good.

TX Power is as per the spec sheet, except for AM which is pushing well over 30w on peaks (PEP)! (Out of the box, no mods.).

TX audio sounds good on all modes.

RX audio on AM and FM sounds great, however SSB RX audio is not fantastic. The radio seems to have a very poor SSB AGC and it distorts and overloads easily on strong SSB signals. (IIRC, this was the same as I found on very early AT5555 radios from around 10 years ago). You can reduce this issue with the RF gain control, but it's still not a very smooth SSB receiver. (There is no comparison with the AT-5555Nii RX audio quality, but that radio is superb and it does spoil you!)

The PC programming cable is the same as used with the AT-6666 and AT-5555 (and Nii).

I will put it through its paces and report back if there is more to tell.

Cheers
