The 920 was reviewed in October QST. The ATU got good comments,
but the review criticized high distortion products
on the transmitted signal, and indicated that cw signals could
be heard on the wrong side of zero beat, even with the optional
cw filter. The DSP had to be activated to remove the unwanted
sideband.

One of the ARRL reviewers complained on an Internet Reflector
about the transceiver's performance during a recent cw contest.
It's probably a nice radio for anyone except a contester.
