I too have had no difficulty with the 990 at 4800B
with NA. With CT I have to use the FT1000 setting to
get the VFOs to work right.
The way I check the 990-to-PC interface is to run an
independent 990 CAT program. You can find them to
download by searching for 990 CAT software. I can
email you the one I use in a few days after I get back
to "home base."
