It's too bad Yaesu didn't decide to make the FT-991 more like the FT-847
(and its predecessor) and include:
a) Four separate outputs (one each for HF, 6M, 2M and 432MHz) and
b) Four separate "keying" functions for each output
Adding those two features to the FT-991A would make it the ideal radio for
me. Including the ability to add a Panadapter to the would be.astounding.

Yeah, I looked at this at the Huntsville hamfest this past weekend. Very
nice. I just wish there was a way to put that screen on a larger external
monitor. There is a lot of stuff on that small screen.
