Yaesu FT-450
Reviewed by Rick Lindquist, N1RL ARRL Contributing Editor
The FT-450 is Yaesu’s latest entry in the HF/50 MHz transceiver field. It’s a sturdy and competent general-purpose radio in the under $1000 price class. It’s generously endowed with an array of features, a few borrowed from its more vaunted brethren. It is not a mini FT-2000, however, as some Internet wags have speculated. Let’s take a closer look at what it has to offer. In broad strokes, the FT-450 is a lightweight, compact — but not too compact — multimode 100 W transceiver that will do yeoman’s duty in a variety of Amateur Radio applications, including portable (but probably not mobile) operation and HF or 50 MHz beacon service.
