Not good news about the superstar but another thumbs up from me on the 450d...Im on my second after i sold the first on a whim but this new one is a keeper.

Some early ones had a buzz on tx and a recall i believe so have a check if you buy used..

I use mine on 11m only and some say why use a hf radio on 11m but my choice and i can pull out signals my cb rigs cant and the NB works a treat even killing the noise from my drills,battery chargers etc that are also in my workshop.

Menu is very easy to use and once set up i rarely need the menu again

good luck with the search

Cheers lads.

Thanks Mike ill keep an ear out for a buzz. Ive been watching a few things on you tube about the 450s and that kinda made my mind up, just needed a kick up the Derry Air to do something about it.
I must be getting withdrawal symptoms lol ive spent all afternoon working out how to build a beam for my baofeng lol not a lot of action on 446 here in no mans land lol but it keeps me off the streets lol.

73s
ps. Can the early model buzz be fixed, if the price is right I don't mind a wee bitty work doing

If i remember right it was the 450d and not the earlier 450 that had the buzz at launch,i have no idea how it can be fixed..
Maybe a call to Martin Lynch`s to ask if they have had to deal with it as it was those guys i have bought my 450d`s from and it was them who mentioned the early ones having the fault.

The 450 while similar to the 450d is a fair bit cheaper used so would also be worth a look...

The usual thing that goes wrong with the 6900n is failed output transistors. unfortunately the maxmum power that they are capable of outputting kills the transistors due to the heat.

They are easy and cheap to replace though.

These are the reasons i went with HF radios over CB rigs...

Built in atu,100w (i use 80w),working noise blanker,filters,continuous vfo,listen or tx away from 11m,sturdy made rather than the latest flimsy rigs on the market...My Ts570dg is getting on a bit but it still does the biz and the 450d is another leap forward..

I like to listen to broadcast stations too so with a decent piece of wire around the garden i can listen with ease around the world.

Using a HF radio on 11m is a no brainer and 11m is far wider than just t5 with some decent contacts made down on 25 mhz so this is where the tuner is handy..

My opinions of course so others may find a CB type rig does the job fine..

Hi Cozzmik.

I couldn't agree more. I bought a cb this time because it was what I knew from the 70s, id had it a week and was thinking " should have bought the Yaesu " but we live and learn. So when the 6900 went belly up it was the right time for a new radio.. From what ive seen and been told the 450D fits my pistol, all the toys ill ever need not so advanced I need a degree in rocket science and enough nobs and buttons to scratch my cb itch.
Having said that I don't regret buying the 6900 it eased me back in and got to make some good friends who have been a great help.... All this has also pushed me to do the unspeakable lol lol take my Ham ticket.
Theres room for both and I think Ham would suffer if CB wasn't there, it gives a low cost access to radio............Im waffling ill shut up for now

73s All Tom

Waffle away...

Good luck with the ticket,it does open a world radio but for me its not a world im interested in..and defo room for both.

I do have CB rigs here also.. A mass dx5000 (good rig) ss360 of old and a Anytone at5555 (not so good) so im no radio snob but prefer the HF radios.

The 450/450at and 450d have pretty harsh speakers so a £30 extension speaker or headphones is a good idea,coming from a Cb rig the speaker is ok but its still worth a upgrade..
