C'mon; you can do it.

Take the plastic off the screen.

I must tell you folks, ive owned many many radios from Icoms to kenwoods, some expensive, some not so, The Yaesu ft 450 is the best radio for the money, ive put it against my 6,000 Yaesu, It has an increadable RX and TX, has built in voice recorder for contesting, the Dsp and digital noise reduction is unsurpassed, it cant be beat for a radio under 800.00. Yes Its Ugly But, Once you try it and work it, you will see its an awsome radio. you cant go wrong for the money.. I Promise....

@fishula well my friend i can tell you this ... if the ft 450 could do the cooking i would love to marriy it

is is a great radio

[bocatablanco]

@fishula I have a FT-450AT (with antena tuner) and well, the tuner is the worst than this radio has, i love it, cheap but works like the best!

[tjbewick]

@fishula I agree except for one thing. I don't think it is ugly at all! I love the display with big numbers and actually one of reasons I bought over the kenwood 480sat it was because of how it looks. 73 Tom N2BEW
