Got a cobra 29 ltd classic that's been down tuned for my Texas star 350 amp. For some reason when the dynamike is all the way up and I key the radio it makes this horrible humming sound. I have to turn down my dynamike almost to 9 o clock for it to go away. What's going on?

You are getting feedback. Mount the amp away from the radio and ground it good. If you have talkback, remove it. If you are running a power mic, turn it down.
 
I had this problem on a similar setup before...in my case it turned out the AMC was clipped and the radio was running so ragged that turning up the mic gain caused massive feedback.

Was the guy who worked on your radio respectable?
 
Well I have it set at 2 o clock pushing 80 percent... Any more and the truck goes crazy! And quick question. Us it normal your amp sets off a local business security alarm? Hmm

For a Cobra 29 and a TS 350 to set off a security system indicates a cheap ass, poorly installed security system.
 
Was sittin at a store last night while my spouse went in. Next door was a child care place. Full power I keyed up and talked and their alarm went off. I couldn't help but almost piss myself! Found out my turbo echo board was up to high and got ride of the feedback. Appreciate it folks.
 
Some of the older business alarms used components that produced 27MHz RFI, and they were also susceptible to the same...

Either that or you have a lot of bleed over.

    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
