Jim,
When you simply press the mic PTT, there is very little power out in SSB
mode until you talk into the mic - the SSB carrier is suppressed, and
all you are transmitting is the suppressed carrier until you produce
audio into the microphone.
The KAT500 needs at least 7 watts to tune.
For CW, do you get power output when you close the key? The FT-450 must
be put into Break-In state to deliver RF on a key closure. I suppose
there may be the possibility of holding PTT closed and then keying the
FT-450 without being in Break-In mode, but I have not studied the entire
FT-450 manual.

My KAT500 won't tune when RF is applied via keying down on the microphone or by
using the CW paddle. It tunes if I whistle into the microphone. I have it set
up as Figure 5. General Cabling Requirements - Stand-Alone Transmitter or
Transceiver shows in the manual. I have an Yaesu 450D. Any suggestions as to
what the problem is?
Thanks,
