I don't know if this is true or not, but I hear there is a "simulator" being
developed by Kenwood. Sort of like an airliner simulator. Before you are
"authorized" or "certified" to sit at the controls of a 990 on the air you have
to take a class and spend time in the simulator. When you graduate you
are then permitted to buy one and operate. After major firmware upgrades
you might have to re-certify. I also hear that pins will be awarded and
will be highly prized and worn on your cap, alongside your DXCC Honor Roll
pin. "TS-990 Certified - level 3" etc.
