[WT-support] TRX Control for FT990

[Gavin Taylor GM0GAV]

Franta,

this is a known issue with the FT-990. Some years ago when I had a FT-990 I
could not get it to work with CT or my regular logging program. The answer
was to send the CPU card to Yaesu UK who upgraded it to V1.3 free of charge.

It worked perfectly after the upgrade.
