>> I have for sale a Yaesu FT450 HF and 6 meter transceiver in very good
>> condition.  It does 100 watts on HF and 6 meters and has the 60 meter
>> channels built into it.  This is an excellent 6 meter radio that also
>> does HF.
>>
>> This is the radio with IF DSP so you don't need to buy any optional
>> filters, they are all there already-provided by the DSP.  Also don't
>> need to buy a TCXO for increased frequency stability, it is included
>> in this radio.  It also has a built in voice keyer and built in CW
>> memory keyer. Use either one to call CQ on 50.125 or 50.110 without
>> wearing out your voice or fingers.  It is also excellent for VHF
>> contests and meteor scatter skeds.
>>
>>
>> There is nothing to add to this radio, except maybe the carry handle
>> which is optional.  The voice synthesizer even comes standard on the
>> FT450.  This is the model without the internal tuner, but the tuner
>> for this model isn't any good anyways.
>>
>> This radio is probably the best buy on the market today. Ask anyone
>> who has owned one about their opinion of the FT450.
>>
>> Mine comes with the power cord, mic, manual and original box.  Looks
>> great and works fine.  I am asking $520 for it plus any shipping if
>> necessary. I can take paypal/check/MO. Why am I selling such a great
>> radio-maybe I am crazy, I don't know.  I just decided to keep my
>> Yaesu FT100D instead since it will also do 2m and 70cm.
