[ct-user] FT-990

[Charlie and Janet Ross]

I'm considering buying a Yaesu FT-990.  I would like to computer-control it 
with CT.

I'm interested in feedback from any 990 users.  Either general comments 
(how well do they play together) or comments on the following topic:

The 1991 QST product review says the original control interface was 
impractical--locked the radio up for four seconds.  I assume this was 
eventually fixed?  I've seen a reference to an EPROM revision.  If I end up 
with a unit before the fix was put in place, is the retrofit available from 
Yaesu?

Tnx & 73,

--Charlie, NC1N
