[Yaesu] FT-920 driver adjust

[Mike Symonette]

Eric,

   I called yaesu and they confirmed that the FT-920
has a problem on ssb with the proper output pwr. They
are offering a service modification to fix it.  Forget
the radio cops, I knew what I was getting was not
right. I thought I could get some help from this
reflector, but it seems like this is a forum for many
to use as a cerebral septic tank.
