I have a Yaesu FT450 I am looking to sell. Bought it to use while my Icom 706
was going to be repaired, but the repair will cost too much so I will just use
it as is.
The Yaesu FT450 is a 100 watt HF and 6m rig that does it all. It has IF-DSP so
there are no filters to buy. The narrow CW and SSB filters are built
in with the
DSP. A TCXO is standard for increased frequency stability. It has a built in
voice keyer-just imagine hearing your melodious voice over and over again as it
calls CQ for you! It also has a built in transmit monitor so you can hear how
your transmitted voice will sound. Interfacing it for the digital modes is very
easy due to the digital VOX that the rig has. For you CW ops it has
a built in memory keyer with 3 memories.
The 450 comes with the standard accessories-hand mic, power cord, and
manual. Think how much fun you will have on HF with this, and on
6m once the summer Es season starts.
The top has some scratches on it that a previous owner tried to cover
up with black paint. There are also some scratches on the sides from
the mobile bracket. Everything works fine except for the headphones
jack. It doesn't work. You can use the speaker jack for headphones,
though, and the internal speaker works fine.
How much would you expect to pay for such a feature laden rig? $1000? Not even
close! $750? No, still not that much. I am asking $450 plus shipping for it.
It is a good think I teach Psychology because I must be insane to sell such a
great rig for such a little amount. If you are interested, send me an email
direct and I am sure we can always work out a deal. Trade offers are always
welcome as well!
