They show an 813 phone number at the bottom of the ham-radio-deluxe.com web
pages. There's a 30-day trial, but it's a $100 program, and I don't think
it's worth quite that much, considering that parts of it, such as logging,
were inaccessible when I tried them in the shareware version. Apparently the
FT991 was added recently, but they didn't put it into the table, but show it
like it's an after-thought.
I wouldn't recommend getting a radio that was so dependent on its touch
screen, either. I don't know how many physical controls the FT-991 has. Some
reviews said that you used the touch screen mostly for menu settings, but if
this included things like receive bandwidth and IF shift, not to mention
tuning to stations showing on a panorama display, I wouldn't go there. My
Ft950 is looking better and better. Have you considered an FTDX-1200? The
specs look good, but I haven't had my hands on one of those, either. It at
least has a good number of knobs and switches.
I guess I am not convinced that it's a good idea to get a rig that includes
coverage of two meters and 70 centimeters, unless you're going to work some
satellites. In my opinion it's better to have a rig that is optimized for HF
and 6 meters, and get something else for the higher bands, especially if
your interest in these bands is FM.

Subject: HRD contact info
Hi all:
This maybe wishful thinking but does anyone have the latest contact info for
the HRD team?
I want to write them regarding their support of the FT-991. I'm wondering if
the items accessed by the touch screen can be accessed by programming
function key macros, filter selection, shift and width etc.

Alan, it was gd to chat with ya over the weekend and really heard how that
steppir works on 40M. I even enjoyed when you turned your antenna to the
Japanese station on frequency saturday morning and I could hear the signal
drop off and how well he actually copied you with your 150W.
