K6620241X50HF Transceiver with Scanning Receiver

FCC ID: K6620241X50 IC ID: 511B-20241X50 Operating Manual Introduction The FT-450 is a rugged, innovative multiband, multimode portable transceiver for the amateur radio HF/VHF bands. Providing coverage of the 160-10 meter bands plus the 6 m, the FT-450 includes operation on the SSB, CW, AM, FM, and Digital modes, yielding the most comprehensive performance package available for field operation. Designed for use from an external DC power source, the FT-450 provides 100 watts of power output from a 13.8-Volt external power supply. The multi-function Liquid-Crystal Display includes various backlighting, which may be disabled for battery conservation. The display includes bar-graph indication of power output, ALC voltage, SWR, and modulation level. Among the advanced features of the FT-450 are many incorporated only in large base-station transceivers. These include Dual VFOs; Split-Frequency operation; Digital Signal Processing (Bandpass Filtering, Noise Reduction, Notch, and Microphone Equalizer); IF Shift; Clarifier (“R.I.T.”); IF Noise Blanker; AGC Fast/Slow/Auto/Off selection; RF Gain and Squelch control; IPO (Intercept Point Optimization) and a receiver front-end Attenuator; VOX; Built-in Electronic Keyer; Adjustable CW Pitch; Built-in CTCSS Encoder/Decoders; and Time-Out Timer (TOT) functions; Computer Interface capability; and Cloning capability. We urge you to read this manual in its entirety, so as to gain a full understanding of the amazing capability of the exciting FT-450 Transceiver.

External DC power source operation The DC power connector for the FT-450 must only be connected to a DC source providing 13.8 Volts DC (±10%), and capable of at least 22 Amperes of current. Always observe proper polarity when making DC connections: The Red DC power lead connects to the Positive (+) DC terminal; and The Black DC power lead connects to the Negative (–) DC terminal. In mobile installations, noise pickup may be minimized by connecting the DC cable directly to your vehicle’s battery, rather than to the ignition switch or “accessory” circuitry. Direct connection to the battery also provides the best voltage stability. Tips for Successful Mobile Installations: ˆ Before connecting the DC cable to the battery, measure the voltage across the battery terminals with the engine running fast enough to show a charge. If the voltage is above 15 Volts, the vehicle’s voltage regulator should be adjusted to reduce the charging voltage to 14 Volts or lower. ˆ Route the DC cable as far away from the ignition cables as possible. ˆ If the DC cable is not long enough, use #12 AWG (minimum) stranded, insulated wire to extend it. Be certain to solder the connections at the splice securely, and provide ample insulation for the soldered splice (heat shrink tubing plus black electrical tape work well). ˆ Check the battery terminal connections frequently to be sure they are tight and not corroded. Caution Permanent damage can result if improper supply voltage, or reverse-polarity voltage, is applied to the FT-450. The Limited Warranty on this transceiver does not cover damage caused by application of AC voltage, reversed polarity DC, or DC voltage outside the specified range of 13.8V ±10%. Never attempt to connect the FT-450 to a 24 Volt battery system. When replacing fuses, be certain to use a fuse of the proper rating. The FT-450 requires a 25A fast-blow fuse.

The FT-450 is designed for use with any antenna system providing 50 resistive impedance at the desired operating frequency. While minor excursions from the 50 specification are of no consequence, the power amplifier’s protection circuitry will begin to redu…

January 16, 2007 Federal Communications Commission Authorization and Evaluation Division, 7435 Oakland Mills Road Columbia, MD 21046 USA Re: FT-450 (FCC ID: K6620241X50) Gentlemen: The scanner receiver equipment meets the requirements of the FCC Rules, 15.121(a). Compliance is achieved through the following methods: The scanner receiver in this equipment is incapable of tuning, or readily being altered, by the User to operate within the frequency bands allocated to the Domestic Public Cellular Telecommunications Service in Part 22. Blocking of the cellular frequencies is implemented in the firmware of the unit’s main control central processing unit (CPU). Coverage of 824 – 849 MHz and 869 – 894 MHz is completely blocked, since it is done in the microprocessor, and cannot be re-enabled by any user-accessible procedure, including diode, resistor, or jumper changes, nor by connection of any external device such as a personal computer, nor by installation of any “special” enabling semiconductor device.
