Have any list members had the chance to compare the FT920 to the Icom 746?
I have an Icom 746 and like the 100 watts on 2m, the audio peak filter for
CW, the ability to cascade filters at 2 IF, and the size of it (although the
TS570SG is a much better size).  However, the internal tuner and NB aren't
that great.  I have heard many say that the FT920 is a very good (but overly
large) rig, and is especially good on 6m.

So how do the 2 compare performancewise?  I like the fact that the FT920 has
the built in voice keyer, and I am unsure of what the FT450 is going to turn
out to be like.
