[Yaesu] power cables reversed

[Christopher Boone]

Well if the 920 doesnt have a reverse polarity diode inside, and if the 
fuse didnt blow, you can bet on a lot of blown components....USUALLY the 
final xstrs are directly connected to the power leads.....if there was 
no internal protection, they are likely shot...
Have you checked the fuse yet (was there one??) look to see if there is 
a reverse protection diode in the rig next to the power lead input...
the diode may have shorted OR it may have burned open due to excessive 
current IF no fuse was used...(OUCH!)
