Marty, The e-bay ad says "tuner Jack" ...meaning the back of the 450. It simply ties into the TX GND pin and Ground signals. Provides this on the RCA plug..providing a grounded line to the amp when you are transmitting. This signal appears on both the Tuner jack AND the Linear jack on the

Marty, this looks like the cable that controls the FC-40 External Automatic Antenna Tuner. I don't think you need this with your radio. If you do get the VL-1000 Solid State Linear Amp, you will need a cable that plugs into the "Linear Jack (10pin)" on the back of your 450D to control the

Good you can hear stations 3 x 3 , that means your noise level is low. Lucky you. OK, then an amp is the primary target. 400 W to 600 W under $400a few mentioned before. IMHO, I wouldn't buy a CC R9 for 20 dollarsnot worth it. I recommend you put together a shortened 80 meter

Instead of buying a $4000 legal limit amplifier, why not buy a smaller amplifier?  A brand new 800W amplifier can be had for about $1000 and I expect used ones can be had cheaper.  800W will increase your signal by an S-unit and a half, while the legal limit would increase your signal by not

Martin, 200 watts - 250watts only gives you 3dB advantage over the 100W. That's not even one S unit or figure it is BARELY a perceptible difference on the other end. CB linear? Those are for the 11 meter band... what bands are you using? I'd say as a general rule figure you need at least 300W
