Great for free software Time Owned: more than 12 months.
This is Yaesu's free software for CAT control of the Yaesu FT450 and FT450D transceivers. Be advised that there are different versions of the software for the FT450 and FT450D transceivers. You can download it from the Yaesu website under the FT450D product information.

Overall this software gives you a virtual front panel of the radio on your computer screen and lets you control all of the functions of the radio with your computer. It also allows you to change all of the menu items by clicking on the F (function) key on the virtual front panel. Much easier than scrolling thru all of the menu items on the radio. You can also program the CW memories using the software, which is also much easier than programming them using the VFO knob on the radio, which is the traditional way of setting them. You just type in the text you want for the CW memory.

You can also use the software to play the CW memory keyer messages and the voice keyer messages if you don't have the mic buttons or the C.S. button on the radio set up for this. It also makes a great way to run the radio remotely with some desktop sharing software like gotomypc.com, where you can tune the radio and send canned messages remotely using this program.

It is free! Thanks Yaesu for making this program available. Wish they had software like this for some of their other radios like the FT991A.
