  • By Don from Fredericksburg TX USA on Tuesday, February 6, 2018
  • Pros: Great reliability of Yaesu products
  • Cons: Poor design with the on/off button right above the transmit button
  • Review: This is my second Yaesu handheld and the overall quality and reliability is excellent. The only reason that I do not rate the FTA-450L with 5 stars is that the button placement is very poor with the on/off button right above the transmit button.

Nice transceiver!

  • By Codger Craig from Kenton OH USA on Monday, June 2, 2025
  • Pros: Very handy
  • Cons: A bit complex when changing modes
  • Review: A little complex in changing configurations, but I'm sure a bit more use/practice will iron that out.
    Would love to get a headset with PTT, but unsure which is correct.

Good &bad

  • By Jim from Cushing OK USA on Friday, May 26, 2017
  • Pros: Good bargain for a hand held
  • Cons: I hate the antenna it's a blade and the fit is horrible if they had put a B &C fitting this would be a home run radio
  • Review: Like the radio never purchased it if I knew about the antenna
