This is a really nice radio. I really enjoy using mine. Am considering buying a second one

Those packing peanuts are edible, just eat 'em.

I have ft 450d tnx very informative for me because I’m not a ham yet Need my foundation

I hope you are sticking with the ham radio hobby Josh. It's a great interest that will be rewarding throughout your life.

Hello there 73 I have a question about my 450D. My 450 restart few after I press the ptt so wish bottom I press wrong? Thank you 73

Hi Thanks for the video. I just received this radio and am trying to figure it out. I like the feature of limiting my bands and my modes. However it seems my menu is on the reduced number of 16 selections and not the broader 62. See page 76 of the manual. I tried turning my menu off but that didn't open up the remaining 46. Do i need to do a menu mode reset ? Here's hoping some of you still monitor this older thread.

Thank you, sir. This is in my “next antenna” lineup, after trying a Delta loop. My plan is to make it, using a 4:1 balun. Highest point above ground - 45’ or so. I, for one, would be very interested to learn about the long-term use of this antenna. Cheers KQ4IXD

Uh… Looks like you doxxed yourself in this video…

I guess that you confuse neutrons with electrons, as the neutrons have no charge at all, while the electrons are negatively charged. Thank you.

Thanks enjoyes

Great video! de W2CSI

on this rig Yaesu used as VFO knob the 2*RX VFO knob of the FT2000...really cheap and bad solution

I find best setting for your audio,go into menu mic EQ set that to 6,then on back of microphone put the switch to number 2,my audio report is always good

The title says it’s a 450 but it isn’t.

I make a hybrid version of a T2TL or sleeve single band HF vertical di-pole antenna like this with ham-sticks. The key thing is the coax shield acts as the only counter poise needed making them a "no ground plane HF antenna". As the top ham-stick radial is a 1/4 wave electrical equivalent radial, the coax shield must also be a 1/4 wave length long to function as a vertical di-pole . A G3THQ choke, just below this, tuned for that band of use, then sets the coax length as the proper counter poise radial. I mount these in side of 1 1/4 schedule 40 PVC pipes 20 foot long ($20 here) as a base station antenna. With a pipe cap to hold that adapter, And a 1" hole roughly 100 inches down allows the coax to leave the pole and run off to the radio. Notes, the coax acting as the counter poise works best if it is 6 feet above ground level before it reaches the G3TXQ choke. But after the choke, it can lay on the ground or more coax can be added. The top radial tunes just as it is suppose to be tuned, the coax counter poise radial can be wound or UN-wound slightly to tune the counter poise side. Each band ham-stick can use the same pole mount, but different 1/4 wave length lower coax sections must also match each ham-stick's band of use. The choke is the same coax simply wound on a 4 inch form. I've made 11 meter versions, 15 meter versions and 40 meter versions. And they all worked well for a "small space vertical base station antenna" you can strap to a tree or a wooden post. And they all are roughly just 27 feet tall. As the coax, runs off to one side. It will hold up a 103" stainless steel whip as well. I don't make videos or sell things, I just experiment and build things, but try one out sometime. With a ham stick, you do not cut the coax as those making regular T2TL antennas for CB use do.

Unfortunately, since I quit smoking meth I have no need to keep lighters around the house.

I Love my 450d. All so use the MD-100 desk mike with it. I use it for Portable now.

I have an ft-840 also, very solid rigs. I'm looking for an ft-450D used. Your video is great. 73 GOD bless K5EWM.

very nice video I enjoyed,,, I just got my Yeasu 450D,,,, learning how to use it,, was wandering how or if this radio has a built in Roger beep, and if soo, how do you turn it on please....thanks....Rich

I was one of the 1st to get one after they came out. Glad i got the D mdl instead of the AT.

this radio have antenna auto tunner?

# hash, £ pound just saying 😉

Amazing video!

C₩ qso nincs?

is that 66' long total or each wire?

Super radio 👍👍

Great video - well explained, keep more videos coming!! Simon, M0SYS

Great video, thank you for taking the time. I have just obtained one of these and its all very new to me. Many thanks

Not sure if you would be still monitoring this video, but just in case... I do not have a CW mode on LSB, (80 or 40). Have CW on USB. Any answer ? thanks, Baz

Nice video are u pleasures with yeasu ft450 d? 73s Sv1gzl lykourgos

Nice video are u pleasures with yeasu ft450 d? 73s Sv1gzl lykourgos

Very good expantion . I like how you started from the begining with the atom .

I saw one of these used in tokyo for about 450$ and asked them to reserve it for me. Came back the other day and they had sold it to someone else, believe it or not! I was angry but instead of telling them about my anger I let them show me some other devices for 2 hours straight and then I just left :-) Hope I find this awesome device for this cheap price again... Thanks for the video! 73 de JP/DL7XA

Fewer crap radios can be found. Whoever bought it deserves it ... unfortunately it is difficult to get rid of it, even with a big loss ...

I am in words per hour.....

Thanks you for the vertical antenna and radials formula.

I don't know what people ask from their radios, especially about voice modulation. I think if you are readible enough to be understandable, mission is accomplished. Viceversa, if you are looking for a "stereo" one, look to a timetable and pick another bus...😁

dont know if you relisted but when u show the invoice your showing all your details full name address if u freeze the video i u can read it all clearly bit risky specially there days there that many con people on just thort i point it out great video i just bort 1 wouldn't do with out it now well money spent

How is this antenna holding up? Is it still in service? What is your opinion on it now? i purchased one today.

Great video...learned some cool things about my radio.

Congrats bro! Awesome 👍

I got WAS with a dummy load G5RV.

Great video! I've been looking for something that is just plain simple to operate, and you've just helped me put this on my short list of candidates. Some of those features you pointed out are really excellent for hams of ALL experience levels. I earned my Novice license back in about 1981, and I ran a great CW rig by Ten-Tec called the Century 21. I've loved the simpler rigs ever since. Now I am a paper tiger Extra, and I want a rig with useful, pertinent features for casual operating. Thanks for sharing your new rig! 73 de AK4FY

does this cover airband aswell?

Thank you.

QUESTION -- with the FT-450D while wearing headphones, can you remain on SSB transmit "monitor" all the time? There is no heating problem issues, etc.?

Qsl? no, I don't have any qsls printed. Roger?

hey 1:4 u still can use it with out the use of a tunner

Does this do HF/VHF/UHF?

Is that a Kenwood tm-731a? I love that dual bander, great video, 73! Jojo
