Used Very Good LDG YT-450 AutoTuner for FT-450 and FT-950 SN112569. Tested on FT-950 and works as designed. Includes interface cable and Manual.

Yaesu radios are among the best, and LDG makes several dedicated tuner for several models, but that leaves a big chunk of the newer Yaesu product line with no dedicated tuner. Of course, most LDG tuners will work just fine with Yaesu radios, but it sure would be nice to have it integrated to the radio.

LDGs new YT-450 is just that. An included CAT/Power cable interfaces with your FT-450 and FT950. This makes it an integrated tuner powered by the interface. No extra power cables are needed. Just press the tune button on the tuner and everything else happens automatically! The mode is set to carrier and the RF power is reduced, a tune cycle runs and the radio is returned to the original settings.
