I think that you are correct regarding the FT990 here Steve, I had some
problems with this tripping the grid protection on a 4CX1000A amp that I had
at the time. I'm pretty sure that Ian G3SEK did some 'proper' tests. The
output IMD also degraded quite rapidly as the power control was backed off.

I'm fairly sure that the FT990 I used to have did overshoot. As I recall, it
did it big time if you turned the output power down.
