Yaesu FTDX3000 with an external interface such as a Signalink or simple similar or 
internal. As the radio has a built in interface I am somewhat shocked by this. And 
when I ask why are they not using the built in interface the most common answer is 
along the lines of I was not aware that the radio had it built in. 

With this in mind I took a few pictures and documented a few settings and leveraging 
the power of the net and search engines everywhere. Hopefully this blog post on 
setting up the FTDX3000 for sound card digital modes will prevent a few from doing 
the hard way, and for those who have already gone the external interface route to 
change. 

Preparation 

DO NOT Connect the radio to the PC at this time.

 

Before diving in you will need a few things in addition to the radio and a PC. 

1.

 

Visit the Yaesu website and download the USB Serial driver. 

2.

 

Obtain but do not connect an appropriate length Type A to Type B USB cable. 
Your PC will have the rectangular plug and the back of the radio has square 
type B plug. 

The driver pack on the Yaesu web site has instructions, follow them and install the 
drivers. Once installed and the radio is connected and powered up you will get 
various messages in the windows task bar that drivers and being installed and or 
have been installed and the device is ready for use. The driver install directions on the 
Yaesu website details all of this. 

  

In this next step we will check and confirm that the drivers are correctly installed. 

Via the Windows control panel enter the device manager and expand the 

Ports 

and 

the 

Sound, video and game controllers

 section. Your port numbers may differ from 

mine which is ok. However if they are missing you have a problem and need to return 
to the Yaesu driver installation instructions. 

Write down the port numbers for the Standard and Enhanced com port you will need 
these values when setting up the PTT.
