[Yaesu] FT-920

[S. Markowski Jr.]

To rephrase the problem.............I was not looking, nor expecting 
broadcast-quality audio, it's a DX contest!  The problem, the audio 
became so distorted that the stateside stations could not copy what we 
were saying.  The was also a drop off of ALC readings at times when 
happening.

Thanks for all the input so far, nothing rectified as yet.
