[ForSale-Swap] FS: Yaesu FT450 HF/6m radio

[John Geiger]

I have for sale a Yaesu FT450 HF/6m rig which I bought new from Texas Towers back in November 2010. Has all of the new accessories with it (except for the manual but you can find this on-line) plus a carry handle which is an extra option. This rig comes with everything-IF DSP so you don't need to buy filters, built in CW memory keyer, built in voice keyer, built in voice synthesizer, and TCXO. It does not have the autotuner installed but that is no big deal because the autotuner isn't any good anyways.


It looks and works fine, and I will probably regret selling it but I just bought a rig with 2m and 70cm on it because I miss being on 2m SSB. It does have one quirk to it-about once a month or so the AGC "hangs up" on it reducing receive sensitivity. You just turn the radio off, turn it back on again, and it is good to go. I have heard from other FT450 owners who have had this same problem.

 
I am asking $499 for it plus shipping and packing charges.
