I use an ft991A, yaesu's most current rig in the hf/vhf line. I had a hamlib error after a windows update which of course happened Saturday morning of field day with no internet :). I rolled back to a previous version and fb. The yaesu ft 991 a has regularly been a bear to configure. Perhaps we could get on the list as well? (I have no programming experience worthwhile. [ I do remember error 19, semicolon expected....] ) I truly appreciate all your hard and VOLUNTEER work, and graciously submit this for your consideration. 73 rob n1trk
