Fantastic video! Very well produced.Nice FT-450D. I will get one, some day. I even have better radios... still want one!
Here is a video I made, this past week. I really have had great luck with this antenna, so I made a video about it. (HL1ZIX / KE0EYJ). I worked Massachusetts and Michigan on it (from Korea), two days ago!
I've been fighting with my 450D all morning. I'm having trouble connecting via serial to latest Ubuntu. At first it was a permissions problem on the serial port device. I got that cleared up and now it just times out when I do rigcat.
This makes me suspect I don't have the right cable. I have a RS232-USB cable plugged into a f-f rs232 cable. I suspect the f-f isn't straight through.
I see the LED on the RS232-USB cable blink once when I try connecting to it.
Anyone have suggestions before I purchase expensive Yaesu cable?

Not sure what you plan; but,I don't see any reference to Ubantu or any other operating system but windows in the Yaesu site. I know Ubantu is popular; but, I think most of the software out there is going to be for Windows. I could be wrong, and I'm sure someone will be along to point that out.
I would recommend a separate computer running Windows 10 that is just for you HAM radios.
Doesn't matter for that one. It floats inside the plastic box (old GE Master II speaker)So I got this speaker at the hamfest. It needs a plug, but I don't know which wire goes where. How can I deduce which wire goes to the center conductor on the phono plug (or does it matter)?
Congratulations!!I passed my Technicians Exam today.
K31 is good people. Helped me get my licenses with this thread and a study guide.I just wanted to say thanks to K31 for putting this FAQ together. I’m sure that you have many many hours invested doing the original writeup and also continuing to stay involved and offering advice through the years.
I had gotten some helpful direction from Ed Shell too and I appreciate that as well.
LOL, the fun begins.... Over at the ArfCom Ham forum, they call it "BRD" (Black Radio Disease).Time to start researching some hardware.
Do it ASAP, it's easier than you think and as K31 suggests above, do it while you're in the learning/testing mode.Looking forward to learning more and I’ll probably set my sights on taking the General exam sometime in the next year.
Congratulations to you too!!I get to add /AG to my callsign today....
Ugh....Shacks are like gun safes.
You can never have one big enough.
Until you have a quart ziplock full of adapters to get Bananna plugs to BNC and BNC to SMA and SMA to UHF and UHF to UHF and BNC to UHF and UHF to N and SMA to N and N to....AND THEN male to male and female to female in all the above, you're really not spending as much on this stuff as you could be.....I thought I had a spare 30 foot feed line. I forgot that I ordered that for my VHF rig so the connector was type-N. I had two 6 foot SO-239 lengths that I had also bought with my rig in order to connect the rig to an antenna switch and the other to connect to the dummy load. I stretched them out and was able to get one of the 6 foot sections outside and connected to the antenna.
I was able to hear a lot of good signal on the radio early in the evening. When I first turned on 20M in the digital frequencies I was overwhelmed by the signals. After an hour or so I struggled to find any signals.
I heard virtually no PSK31 after 9PM, is that normal? I surfed all of the bands in the lower parts of the bands that I had access to.
I feel like I don't understand fldigi, nor my radio, enough to understand what I'm doing and feel comfortable with it. It all still seems like black magic to me.
