Got a sneak peak at the new Yaesu FT-920 at the Fresno DX Convention last weekend. I think Chip, K7JA, said there is only ONE prototype unit in the U.S. at this time. Look for it at Dayton. Price? No

Ref: Your note of Sat, 15 Mar 1997 13:06:31 -0500 (EST) Performance gets noticeably better when you add the additional filters. No fix available, but your ears quickly get used to the MONI tone. Two

Based on all of the glowing comments from the likes of QST, ON4UN, KM9P, N6RO and W6XR, I decided to buy a new FT-1000MP from HRO. (Both HRO and Yaesu were generous supporters of the World Radiosport
