Hi Tony!   
      
   17 May 2016 07:54, from Tony Langdon -> Richard Menedetter:   
      
   [Yaesu FT-450D]   
    RM>> Arrived yesterday, and seems to be a nice lower cost transceiver.   
    RM>> It also has a simple automatic antenna tuner built in (works up   
    RM>> to an SWR of 3).   
    TL> Cool, sounds like one to consider.   
      
   It sure cannot compete in the 5000 EUR+ region, but a very nice radio for the   
   money!   
      
    TL> I like the IC-7000, got 2 of them, though one needs a trip to the shop   
    TL> at some stage for repairs.  Nice radios.   
      
   I actually bought it at a local ICOM shop ;)   
   He did everything to convince me of the IC-7300.   
   Which BTW is a nice radio (has SDR waterfall and USB for remote control and   
   RTTY etc.) but it costs more then twice ...   
      
   I was not willing to pay 1300 EUR for something that I will not use that   
   often, and where I will seldom use the additional features.
