Been drooling over the FT-450D. Gave up on the Icom 718. The 450D looks like a LOT more radio for a few bucks more. Plan on using it with a ATAS-120A antenna on the F-350. Anyone else use that combo? Like to hear your stories. Thanks everyone for a lot of good info! I'll keep you informed! (Now got to sell that bandsaw to get some cash...LOL)
