HF Ham Radio Transceiver / 160-10m Bands. Offered for sale is this KENWOOD TS-450s HF Ham (Amateur) Radio Transceiver. Radio is originally an estate find from several years ago.
I have 3 HF radios and simply needing to downsize my collection a bit. Radio has been used mostly on CW and digital modes (I'm not much of a'talker').
Ran it on FT8/4 using a SignaLink USB interface. Radio does have built-in antenna tuner which I used on an end fed antenna (40m was almost 3:1 SWR and it tuned it nicely). Also used with a GAP Titan DX with great results worldwide also. The TS-450S supports many advanced features such as keypad entry, VOX, 100 memories, XIT, RIT, Notch, IF Shift, Squelch and digital meter. This radio has a carry handle.
Requires 13.8 VDC at 20.5 Amps. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) in both transmit and receive modes (with optional DSP-100 installed) provide greatly enhanced signal purity. Technical Specifications: 160-10 meters AF Notch CW Reverse 100 Memories Dual Mode NB.
XIT/RIT IF Shift Keypad Entry All Mode Squelch RF Speech Processor. Does not have optional filters. Display and all indicators work fine. All audio controls work with no scratchiness. Antenna tuner works well and quickly matches antenna.
Good power output - I mostly used it on CW and digital USB/LSB. We have listed this item to the best of our ability.
