148 gtl issue with adjusting driver

Andy a old school tech told me do not adjust bias with volts ever (0.5 v - 0.65 v)the parts are old and always draw a lot current, do it ma is more save .
 
And that would be fine, I was only showing a better method that works for those that can't seem to get bias correct or have a "Jumpered" Final in the system, then the issue is you can't see the mA draw in SSB mode to get a good or correct reading in mA without looking at voltage feed to the base of the Final.

Setting for mA may go overboard with the jumpered part - and also is why I really strongly urge those that have the older bipolar, upgrade their bias feed line(trace) and re-check (and lower) the mA draw the bias circuit does...

    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
