Starting around 10 years ago, I gradually came into contact with approximately 450AT and 450D units, totaling about 10. The last one I used was around 2017, a 450D. After setting it to the engineering mode and adjusting the antenna, the antenna adjustment range was very good, and it could even be used with several-meter-long cables on certain frequencies.
The 450D is better than the 450AT, but for casual users, besides its excellent tuning capabilities, the noise reduction performance is really not good. After all, it's an older entry-level radio that Yaesu released as the 891, which is essentially a replacement for the 450D. So, if you're choosing around $4000, then it would definitely be the new 891. Other brands' used radios are a different matter!
By the way, the 450D's "sky control" feature is amazing! The "sky control" feature isn't a flaw of the 450D; it's actually a strength.
