I was very surprised to find the support for the 990 and 920 running quite
even. Also the recommendations were rather emphatic in favor of the radio of
choice. I notice on eHam that the 990 has a perfect 5.0 with 19 reviews and
the 920 has a 4.4 with about 40 reviews. A lot of the 920 reviewers gave 4's
but without any real negatives, they just didn't seem to be motivated enough
to give 5s. As of this moment I still have my 990 (sale deal didn't work
out) but I would seriously consider an 920 because of 6 meters, dual band
stacking registers in VFOs, monitor, recorder, and DSP that the 990 doesn't
have. Thanks for all who expressed their sentiments and thoughts.
