[Kenwood] re use of 10 meters on TL-922A

[Dan Cotsirilos]

Just my 2 cents. The odds of a CB'er, especially in today's economy, buying 
a 922 to use on 11 meters is slim and none.

Why would someone spend around $1000 for a multi band amp that's needs to be 
modified when there are 100's of 11 meter only amps out there for less than 
$500 that are ready to go?

Because of the amp in question was a 922 it never accrued to me for even a 
min that it was for 11 meters. There are too many easier and cheaper 
options.
