Barry,
Good point - thanks!  I have been confused by this in the past, but not in
relation to WL.

Rick, make sure the FT-920 is in "VFO" mode and not "MEM" or "MEM TUNE" (at
least that's what the modes are called in the MP).  WL will not read the
freq otherwise.  Hit the M --> A button to transfer the 920 into vfo mode if
necessary.
