LDG pioneered the automatic, wide-range switched-L tuner in 1995. From its laboratories in
St. Leonard, Maryland, LDG continues to define the state of the art in this field with innovative
automatic tuners and related products for every amateur need.
Congratulations on selecting the YT-450 100-watt automatic tuner for the Yaesu FT-450 and
FT-950 transceivers. The YT-450 provides semi-automatic antenna tuning across the entire HF
spectrum plus 6 meters, at power levels up to 125 watts. It will tune dipoles, verticals, Yagis, or
virtually any coax-fed antenna. It will match an amazing range of antennas and impedances, far
greater than some other tuners you may have considered, including the built-in tuners on many
radios.
The YT-450 is similar to previous LDG tuners, but is specially engineered to integrate with
your Yaesu FT-450 or FT-950 HF radio. The YT-450 connects to the CAT (Computer
Automated Transceiver) port on the back of the radio. The CAT interface allows an external
device such as a PC or the YT-450 to control the FT-450/950 by sending it serial commands. The
YT-450 takes advantage of this interface to simplify the tuning process -- one button push is all
that is needed in order to switch the radio to AM mode, reduce output power, transmit a carrier,
measure the transmit frequency, and then restore the radio to its previous mode and power level!
Additionally, the YT-450 also draws power directly from the radio, so no extra cable is needed.
SPECIFICATIONS
digital modes.
• 1 to 125 watts SSB and CW peak power, 100 watts on 6 meters, and 30 watts on PSK and
• Latching relays for ultra-low power operation.
• 2,000 memories for instantaneous frequency and band changing.
• Power: 12V power supplied directly from the radio.
• Designed specifically for the Yaesu FT-450 and FT-950 HF transceivers.
• Pass-thru CAT port allows YT-450 to control the FT-xxx over the CAT bus while still
allowing a host PC to also control the radio.
• Pass-thru CAT port waits for idle CAT activity before controlling the transceiver.
• 1.8 to 54.0 MHz coverage. Frequency for memory storage is read from the radio via CAT.
• Tunes 4 to 800 ohm loads (16 to 150 on 6M), 16 to 3200 ohms with optional 4:1 Balun.
• For Dipoles, Verticals, Vees, Beams or any Coax Fed Antenna.
• IC-450 Interface cable included.
• Optional external Balun allows tuning of random length, long wire or ladder line fed
antennas. See web site for details.
• Dimensions: 7.25”L x 7.75”W x 2.25”H.
• Weight: 1 pound 8 ounces
