Yaesu FT-450D

The FT-450D is a budget 100W HF/6m base. CAT is via a CT-62 serial cable; there is no USB codec, so route audio via the DATA/ACC connector. Control is Yaesu 5-byte CAT over USB (or serial). This model has no clean built-in node codec, so take transmit/receive audio from the rear ACC/DATA connector to a USB radio interface (DMK URI, RA-series DRA, RIM, etc.). PTT: key via CAT or from the interface's PTT line. Set the CAT rate before deployment.
