Hi Tony!

[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.

CU, Ricsi
