Howdy Freddy,
Welcome to the forum.

We don't think the TS-450 has the ability to change TX bandwidths.
It is stuck at 2.7kc on Transmit.

But with the Equipment you listed you should be able to get a very nice tone out of it.

Take Care,

ok thank you so 2.7kc is not bad but the higher the better, so far its sound good so what type of radio do i need to get the most out of it.and thank you for your help.

I would be very hard-pressed to believe the FT-450 will allow for VooDoo type audio. Even it's big brother (FT-950) isn't capable of such a task. With the exception of the FT-2000 and 9000 (with their extended low frequency reaponse to 50Hz) it's not really going to happen with the '450. At 2.7Khz bandwidth you're audio will sound too "dark", muddy and lack "air" thus receiving reports of, "you're too bassy!!" assuming its capable of the lowend response.

Does the '450 have an audio monitor??--doubt it does at that price point, not to mention it's a mobile radio (which are usually designed NOT to have an built-in monitor). If that's the case a GOOD/RELIABLE secondary receiver is a must.

ok thanks thats what i want to know,im looking to buy the ts-2000.i want to get in to the voodoooooooooooo

ok i think a made my ft-450 reach the 3.0khz using the xynix 1202fx-samson D-2500 eq-dbx 266xl compressor,a friend of mine have the ft-2000 with the monitor system and he said i was in the 2.9khz to 3.0 khz so would that put me on the zone..........of essb or not quite 73s kb3mub.

The TS-2000 will yield better ESSB results over the FT-450--you'll be quite pleased.
