Pretty much the same amp, in either case you want to be sure that the amp 
has had 10M enabled. As I recall the 922 didn't come with the 10M parts 
installed (but the holes were all drilled etc. ). the 922A had the 10M 
parts installed, but the "stop" on the band switch had to be removed to 
switch to the 10M position.

Only widely reported  known trouble spot in the either amp are burned band 
switch contacts. Turn the amp upside down remove the bottom cover, take a 
small flash light and carefully inspect the ceramic band switch.  Up until 
recently I owned two 922A's (sold one a month ago ...saving for a ACOM 2000)

In general operationally two things to watch for.
1) watch your grid current ( don't overdrive it) high grid current = short 
tube life
2) PTT input has +100v on it and should be switched with a relay or a HV 
transistor.
