Rob -- If it were updated and some circuit improvements made, the 
TL-922 would be a winner.  Fortunately, used 922s become available from 
time to time.  For someone who knows how to solder, a 922 is an 
excellent opportunity to advance above the rank of appliance operator.
-- However the basic problem in Japanese companies is 'ringesho' - a 
Japanese term meaning that only ideas for improvement that come from 
the CEO himself can be used.  Thus, in the beginning, if the CEO of 
Trio-Kenwood had used a spectrum analyzer to discover that the 922 has 
an intermittent osc. problem at 110 - 120 MHz, and he set about making 
the amplifier more stable, the 922 would probably still be produced
