The 990 is an excellent radio. It's the "poor-mans' " 1000. Very reliable from what I've heard. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one myself. A friend of mine has had one for several years and loves it.

Hook948,

You didn`t by any chance remove an FT 840 to make room for the FT 990. If so and you feel the 840 is suffering from neglect, perhaps I could help. I`ll even pay shipping. Oh hell, I`ll even call you up and let you talk to it every weekend.

Well I've had the FT-990 a couple weeks now and thought I would post a review. The reciever is AWESOME. I sometimes find myself turning down the volume even when the needle is on zero! I thought maybe the meter was out of adjustment so I hooked up the FT-840 on same freq. and needle was on zero also and I didnt hear a thing on the 840, switch back to the 990 and loud and clear. The transmit audio is "good", not great but working on that<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"> 90 memories that store freq. and mode are nice and can scan memories also.The adjustable noise blanker,Notch filter,IF shift and adjustable digital hi/lo cut filter really help pull someone out of a pile up. I cringed at spending that much money on a radio but now feel it was money well spent.JMO<img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/smile.gif ALT=":)"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"> <img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/images/emoticons/pimp.gif ALT=":hat">
