[Yaesu] FT-990 EPROMUpgrade

[Robert Pack (NX5M)]

My contest software would not work properly with the v.1.2.  Other than that
I do not know what other issues there may be.
You will need a special interface cable from the CAT on the rig to the
com/serial port of the computer.
Some are available from Len, K1NU at a very reasonable price.  I have three
of his interfaces tied in to two 990's and one 1000D.  The newer rigs, such
as my Mk V, do not need to special interface as they are plug and play.  I
hope the FT-2000 is the same was as that might be my next rig purchase in a
few months.
