That Yaesu FT450D is a sweet piece of kit and looks like loads of fun. Nice to see local chatter increasing in your neck of the woods. I gotta say I am partial to Yaesu. i hope to find some more Yeasu gems in my bartering future. Thanks for the UK chatter sample. I love it!
Good contact from West Wickham...not all that far from me Fred. Taking my foundation in October, so might get the chance to catch up with you at some point if conditions are right
Hi Fred I have looked in the owners manual could not find anything looked online and I think it says 35watts am not sure. I was just doing a power check on the radio Fm 100 watts ssb 100 watts and only 35watts AM. I thought I would just check with you if this was right.
Hi Fred. I understand where you get Fred in the shed from and the Jaffa cake station I assume you just pick anything which you relate to? But what about the longer letters & numbers identification? 26 CT 16 64? Is that something you make up yourself or is there some formal meaning to the call? Very interesting videos you make. I could quite get into that myself I think! I have an FT897 but only listen on it so far.
Hi Rob. The Charlie Tango call signs are registered at the Charlie Tango online radio forum. I ve been told that the website has been a bit hit or miss at the moment but its still up and running if you google for more info.
Hi ya Fred I’ve just watched the video and I’m awaiting delivery of my Yaesu 450D I’m moving up my setup. Just hope I can find out how it works it looks a bit complicated? Just hope I can get my head round it.
Yes it is pretty menu based. Once your set up you really wont need to go into the menus too much other than RF power etc. Make sure you set the mic EQ to suit your voice.
hi Fred I know this is completely different to a CB radio but I have recently moved on to pmr radios there seems to be a hell of lot more people on have you ever used one
Hi mate. Yes ive got UV5-R and a little mobile radio which covers PMR 446 Mhz. I ve not checked for a while as i had a local motor bike training school taking up a few of the channels. Other than that there was no traffic.
Excellent video Fred. And your audio is much better. Were you using your new toy??LOL. I hope I'm as good as Eric at 87 years, never mind I've got 16 years to practise Fred LOL. Good muppetless contacts, just the way it should be, keep it up Fred.Thanks. Roy.
Thanks Roy. Yes the audio is straight out of the radio and through the mixer. Eric is a real star on the radio around these parts. Key's the mic faster than anyone. :-)

Cheers steve. Good luck with the course and be great to catch you on air.
Definitely picking up Fred. If you can give the southern net a shout Thursday from 8pm around ch 39 muppets and then from 9pm 27.395 USB.
Cracking stuff mate. You guys do it better down in the south. Its rubbish up here in the north.
Totally agree. Definitely a gentlemen's conversation with a bit of pork chewing for good measure.
Thanks Lewis. Well the 19 down here certainly has its moments. LOL
I feel young now at 52 after seeing or should I say hearing Eric ,,, good on him cheers Shane ct1017

Both the CRT8900 and 6900 are good radio's.

God help "27.555" if ( now one ever knew or found him ) If POWERBLASTER gets his Naughty Burner out the loft
Hi Fred what power do you get on AM I have just purchased a Yaesu 450D I get 100watts on Fm and ssb but only 35watts on AM
Not used AM for a while but its normally lower than FM / ssb . What does it say in the owners manual.
QSK,,,,, side, side, SIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i prefer to see classic CB radios used on 11m not Amateur radios.. just sayin.. get a stalker 9 or a jumbo or sumthin.. much more interesting.
Sadly i have 80% hearing loss and struggle with CB radios. I do understand what your saying though.
