[Yaesu] FT-920 - One Heck of a Radio... to Ed W4TEY from VK2LEE

Hi,  When I was looking to purchase a New Transceiver a few years ago. I
mentioned it to a friend who had been on many DXpeditions, and He advised Me
to buy the FT920 over the FT1000MP.  He said He preferred the FT920 on
 DXpeditions and said they were a Great Radio. When I went to buy a Radio,
the 1000MP & the 920 were next to each other, and the readout on the 1000MP
put Me off it straight away....it was terrible... the FT920 has the OMNIGLOW
readout which I find is Excellent. You can read the readout from ANY
direction..
I love My FT920 [don't tell the XYL] and its RX so quiet...   It Works
Great.
You won't be disappointed, I can guarantee that, and You don't have to be
 a Rocket Scientist to use it..... Hi Hi....  Although I haven't been very
active the past 5 years[due to an illness],  I still just press 21 to go to
21MHz etc
... I haven't used any of the frequency memories yet....  and Don't forget
You
 can monitor Your own voice all the time... and change the frequencies of
Your
 Own Voice .. [Sorry .. NO John Wayne or Clark Gable voices ] its still Your
Voice Hi Hi...  Anyway its an EXCELLENT Choice of Radio and People still
can't work out,  How it is So Much more inexpensive than the 1000MP...
and yet be SO GOOD.!!! (maybe the 1000MP is Grossly Over Priced)
 It Is One Heavy Radio too... I had to reinforce My wooden Shelving with
steel angle iron..
