Ric, the following is from my webpage on the TS-850S.  I believe that 
the TS-450S has the same or similar menu for reversing the FSK.  Please 
look at your manual and see if it has the same setting.

You will also have to set a menu setting in the TS-850S.  Turn the 
TS-850S off, now turn it on holding the LSB/USB key.  You should be 
presented with a menu of options.  Each has a number.  Use the memory 
knob and turn to option 11.  Press the "page down" or "page up" key to 
toggle the option.  This option sets the FSK keyer polarity.  The 
"Default" is OFF, but you need to set it to "ON". If someone tells you 
that you are "up-side-down" when you transmit, you will need to change 
this menu setting.

Maybe you are wondering why you should run FSK instead of audio tone in 
the mike like the other modes.  It really doesn't make any different on 
the other end.  But the big advantage with the TS-850S is that you can 
select your CW filter from the front panel and the receiving tones will 
pass with no adjustments.  Also you will be transmitting with a fixed 
170 hz shift keyer that is built in.  You will always be transceive with 
the other station.
