[Yaesu] opions on ft-990

[harris ruben]

I absolutely love my 990. It's extremely quiet, and very dependable. 
Never had a problem of any sort, and I've had it for a very, very 
long time. One warning -- I HEAR that the CPUs are no longer 
available and if they go bad,  Yaesu won't (can't) repair them any 
more. Other than that, it's the best rig I've ever owned. Last one I 
saw went for 500 bux (estate sale) about 3 years ago.
