[Kenwood] re use of 10 meters on TL-922A

Wed Dec 9 12:10:26 EST 2009

Just my 2 cents. The odds of a CB'er, especially in today's economy, buying 
a 922 to use on 11 meters is slim and none.
Why would someone spend around 1000ドル for a multi band amp that's needs to be 
modified when there are 100's of 11 meter only amps out there for less than 
500ドル that are ready to go?
Because of the amp in question was a 922 it never accrued to me for even a 
min that it was for 11 meters. There are too many easier and cheaper 
options.
