That is very good news. Very glad to hear it. So the 450, has a
"better" menu system than the 817/57/97?


Menus are a rather "personal" interface between the operator and the
hardware. I am rather old fashined and I like knobs and buttons with
dedicated functions. Not much made like that now-a-days. While the FT-
450 is a bit better in this regard compared to those other modern Yaesu
radios, it is NOT even close to perfect by any means. In my opinion,
yes, the FT-450 has a 'better' menu system but others may disagree.
