[HCDX] Possible purchase of a Yaesu FT 450D

["Paul" <format4nz@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

I am looking for a replacement for my Yaesu FRG 7000 which was damaged by a couple of 6.3 earthquakes here in Christchurch, New Zealand. As I have a ham licence, I decided it would be a better idea to get a transceiver rather than a receiver on its own. I've been looking around and have found a Yaesu FT 450D which might do the job. It fits the budget which is helpful.

I would be very grateful to hear any comments about this rig, from what I have read so far the reviews seem favourable but none mention SWL performance. I would be grateful to hear of any feedback any of you have on this transceiver particularly its performance on medium wave. I expect like many other sets this band will have been desensitised, any modifications needed that anyone knows about would also be helpful


Many thanks

Paul
