[Yaesu] FT-920

Fri, 02 Jan 2004 21:06:35 -0500

Hello Group,
   I have had this happen to my FT-920 .
As  Bub  stated in his reply to  Jim's e-mail to the group will work for 
a short while and is a quick fix,
but will not always work. I had to send mine back to Yaesu and they 
fixed it and it has been at least
been  about three (3) years since they fixed it and have not had a 
problem since.
They also did all the updates when they had it .
Also check the archives and you may find more information about the 
problem you are having with your FT-920.
