[Yaesu] FT-990 EPROMUpgrade

[Berndt Josef Wulf]

Besides some protocol changes, there are not any new features that I'm aware 
off. However, the majority of software packages require the newer version and 
won't work with the older.

If my memory serves me correctly, I should still have a ROM at home which I'm 
willing to sell. However, the changeover is not for the faint hearted since 
its a surface mount package requiring a steady hand and a surface mount 
rework station. Contact me off-list if interested.

73, Berndt
