I responded to an ad by Wes Cline, KB9POM, in which he advertised trade AL-80b for a FT-920. I made a deal with him my 920 plus $100 for his AL-80b. I sent him the 920 and he sent me the AL-80b, BUT when I received the AL-80b it was crushed and I have pictures for anyone who needs to see how it was packed. Wes says a 3rd party packed the AL-80b. But Wes should of supervised the packing of the Amp. It had only one inch of p-nuts on all sides of a Amplifier. Unbelieveable. After many many e-mails Wes said he would send my 920 back, never got my radio. He now says 920 don’t work and he going to have fixed. I told him over and over just send my 920 back broke or not. HE WILL NOT SEND MY RADIO BACK.
Anyone need to see how Wes packs Ham Radio equipment send me a email

Received the 920 back from Wes, BUT it was damaged, front panel was smashed in. The box was OK, NO marks on it at all. How does a radio get smashed in a good box. I have the pictures if anyone wants to see.
[email protected] I have sent 920 to Yaesu for repair. I hope Wes will do the right thing and pay for it.
I did not receive my $100 back from Wes, I hope he returns my money.
