@souravrelja. Thanks for watching. This day I was using a G5RV at about 28 feet at the apex. 73 from Alabama.

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.... Nick

@fishula I think it's a beautiful radio.

[RIDDICKorigional]

do you have to go inside radio for full tx mod or can do it via menus tnx nice rig though thinking of having one.

[RIDDICKorigional]

good audio output on that rig - meter seems not moving up so far on tx - might be better with a more amplified microphone a bit more oooomph

What is a good, proper general setting for the 'width' control (how many lights should be lit)? I am a casual operator and DXer, working both CW and SSB. Also, does the 'width' control affect transmit or is it just for receive? Thanks in advance.
