[Yaesu] Re: [YaesuFT920] Yaesu FT920 vs Icom 746: Results of comparison

[Hans Remeeus]

Hello John,

Many thanks for this very interesting and thoroughly review! You have 
spent a lot of time on both rigs and on the review; that's for sure. 
Very nice of you that you made us part of your comparison between the 
two rigs.

Since a couple of weeks I have the 920 too. And the 746Pro for a couple 
of years now.

You wrote that the 746 has a much better filter setup. However with the 
Inrad Filterboard(s) the 920 too has a very nice filter setup; IMHO more 
than enough for most of the operations and conditions.

I will print your review and read it very attentively. Thanks again!
