if i had my way i would encourage manufacturers to make full RX/TX mods to be as simple as moving or removing those little black jumper plug thingys

1. Remove the cover from the unit and locate 6 pin jumper labeled J29. Move the shorting block from it's current position to the back/right position as shown.
2. Re-Assemble the unit and check All Bands for Proper operation.

my 78ltw came with talk-back (i asked for it that way) but it was s bit too loud for my liking . after a while i became annoyed with it and was afraid if i tried to de-solder it that id mess something up so i snipped each side of the resistor with toe nail clippers . :whistle:

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
