Hello Butch, as I mentioned to you on the land line, I have decided to get a
990, but I still want to wait a few more months before spending the 8 grand.
I will also talk to Rob Sherwood and Ken Long, who are testing it in the
lab, and writing a comprehensive review on it. Have you checked the TX power
limit to see how close it holds to the desired power level?  The ability to
set a hard limit on output power is especially useful for those who run very
large amps, and don't want to exceed the 1500 watt legal limit..

Yep, a very good review.  I've had my 990 for a couple months and I 
learned some tricks I had overlooked.
