I have had a Yaesu FT990. Pretty good rig, for the same price and level I preferred the Kenwood TS850. A few more filtering options, built in CW memory keyer, option for a built in voice keyer, and another excellent receiver.
I am currently using a Yaesu FT1000 (original, not MP). Leaving the dual receive aside, the extra 3db compared to the FT990 is nice.
