Using Filters on a Yaesu FT-450

How to use a Yaesu FT-450 Radios filters and antenna tuner.

Never could get this radio to sound good to my ears. Not a bad radio but I am spoiled with my old Kenwood ts 830 audio.

That was very informative - thank you. I bought a 450D a week ago and have been working through the manual. Watching you demonstrate the many options was much appreciated.

[@Superacerc]

Awesome! Yeah it wasn't really apparent how that DSP select knob manipulated things in the manual. It took my a while to figure some of those out on my own. I bought this radio new in 2008 and sold it recently. Loved it. I miss it a little bit but there are other fish in the sea. Have fun with your new radio! The 450 will do anything you want to do really.

@@Superacerc Everyone I see who had one, but sold it, misses it. I have not managed to own one yet. I should add I like to QRP out and about, and my trusty FT-817 is getting a bit hard to read with my old eyes. Hence the reason I am looking at and researching this radio.

[@Superacerc]

@@wonderingworld119 it definitely is more readible than the 817. Those are great radios though. I enjoy qrp and hiking with my x6100 radio.

I have a question. I have cćmin. how to enable and disable bk-in function on yaesu 450d. I can't find it in the manual.

[@Superacerc]

Theres a menu item for it i believe and a button on the top right.

[@Superacerc]

Or is it the keyer key. I cant remember now. I sold the radio right after i made the video.

[@Superacerc]

For my general subscribers you can ignore this video. I'm selling this radio and wanted to let the buyer know some tips.

[@francisharvey1811]

what radio is the newest 450 or 450d?

[@JohnYoga]

450D

[@yungsmile7546]

Thanks for the QRN. 🙄

[@Superacerc]

You’re welcome. 😊. I am not the first and certainly not the last to transmit a carrier. At least the frequency seemed to be clear. Of course there was even more noise as the antenna was tuned.

Great radio! de W2CSI

[@Superacerc]

Yeah they’re great for sure. Amazing filters for what you pay for it.
