The Yaesu FT-450D expands on the success of the FT-450 adding new features. Enjoy world class performance in an easy to use, compact package. It employs blazing fast 400 MHz IF DSP technology to bring an array of advanced features to the operator. Transmit frequency coverage includes 160 to 6 meters. The receive range is 30 kHz to 54 MHz. Power output is 100 watts on HF and 6 meters. Operating modes include USB, LSB, CW, AM and FM. An antenna tuning system is built in!

We proudly introduce the new 2nd generation FT-450D 100-Watt HF/50MHz ultra compact HF Transceiver. The FT-450D follows on the success that the FT-450 achieved among Amateur Radio operators.

The FT-450D is a compact yet superb HF/50MHz radio with state-of-the-art IF DSP technology configured to provide World Class performance in an easy to operate package. Suitable for all applications; beginners, casual operators, enthusiasts, portable/field users and emergency service providers.

The rugged die-cast chassis makes it perfect for mobile usage and it's packed with easy-to-use features.

The FT-450D's ATU (Automatic Antenna Tuner) includes 100 memories for quick tuning during field operation when using a folded dipole, for example. 

The new FT-450D provides World Class performance in an easy to operate package. The performance remains at the same high level as the 1st generation AT model; a built-in ATU, 100 Watts of output power on SSB, CW and FM (25 Watts AM), with Digital Signal Processing (DSP) utilized throughout the design, providing leading-edge performance on both transmit and receive. 

New additional features are:
•  Key Illumination
•  Foot Stand
•  CW narrow 300 Hz IF DSP Filter available without any optional filters
•  Classically Designed Main Dials and Knobs
•  Striking new black and white look
•  Supplied with the MH-31A8J hand microphone with up/down and fast keys and a tone selector switch.
