of MixW and HRD. Both still work with the Yaesu FT-897D I still have,
but not with the FT-450.

Has anyone else here had problems with CAT to/from a Yaesu FT-450? Has
anyone here got CAT working to/from a Yaesu FT-450?

Follow this link, it will take care of you're cat problem. I have an FT 950 and had a similar issue. This cat cable resolved all issues at a minimal cost.
