[CW] What about a FT-450 for CW?

[K0HB]

I believe you'd be disappointed with an FT-450 over your TS-930.  The 450 is 
engineered as a low-priced radio while the 930 was engineered as a 
top-of-the-line rig.  The performance specs mentioned in other posts show 
why so many TS-830's and 930's are seen in photos of serious contesting 
stations.

Have Santa upgrade your Alcoa farm instead.
