> Hi All. Earl here in Prince George, B.C. VE7 Land. About 2 weeks ago or so 
> now I posted that all was quiet here in Pr. George on 6m. and that  I did 
> not have 6m right now as I sold my Icom 706m2 and had bought a nice used 
> FT 920 and was waiting it's  arrival.
> Some one in the 6m club replied to my email posting with this to say. He 
> had a FT 920 and nice rig. the only thing was when start up it had to warm 
> up for a bit before transmit. Indicated it had a trait like a tube radio 
> on start.
> Can you please email me again with any other information on the 920.
> I have my 920 now and have noticed that the VFO "A" big center knob spins 
> okay and is solid in position. The VFO "B" smaller knob on right also 
> spins okay, buy it will move out of center about 1/4 , so you can turn it 
> and move it around up to 12 / 3 / 6/ 9 O'clock . Like I say it turns / 
> spins ok, but one can push it out of center starting by just holding the 
> knob and move it up down around to 3 / 6/ 12 , any way and it will move 
> out of center about 1/4 in.
