Mine is an AC model.  I have constant problems with RF feedback.  And I
swear it tends to come and go.  It's always there, but sometimes worse than
"normal."  I used double shielded cable from the external speaker to the 990
and that took care of the problem there.  However, the majority of my
problem is RF into the headphone jack.  I've not been able to solve this
one.  Capacitors and ferrite cores helped a little bit, but didn't solve the
problem.
