i have a 3300hp that i was trying to fix a broken solder joint on (intermittent loss of tx..)give the radio a tap it would work for a while..while soldering points i shorted out a trace.which burned r194..fixed shorted trace replaced r194 with same value..now the radio throws out a very low deadkey (half watt)..without keying the mic..if you key the mic you get your regular deadkey (3 watts)..swings with modulation..of course the radio has no recieve becuase its always in tx..any and all help would be appreciated..

    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
