Version Instructions
1
Download the ZIP file
Click the Download button below and save the ZIP file to your computer.
2
Extract the files
Right-click the ZIP and choose Extract All. Keep all the extracted files together
in the same folder. Do not run the .exe directly from inside the ZIP.
3
Connect your radio
Connect your FTDX-10 to the computer using a USB cable. Windows 10/11 installs the
Silicon Labs CP210x USB driver automatically — no separate driver download is needed.
4
Find your COM port
Open Windows Device Manager and expand Ports (COM & LPT). Look for
Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge “Enhanced” COM Port (COM X).
Write down that COM number — you will need it in the program.
See
FTDX10_Setup.docx for screenshots and additional setup steps.
5
Run the program
Double-click
FTDX10RigControlB2.exe. (You will get warning about opening it, open it anyway.) Select your Enhanced COM port from
the dropdown, set Baud to 38400, make sure RTS is checked,
then click Connect.
