That's the information I had. I no longer have a FT-990 manual
set to be able to independently confirm it but everyone that I
know of who upgraded the FT-990 had to ship them to California
for the upgrade.
Yes, I was surprised by that since I upgraded a couple early
FT-1000s by burning a new 27C265.
