I'll bet he didn't rotate it. :wink: Man I need to get off of 20m and 80m and get back on 6m.I miss ALL the openings.I've got the radio and the antenna (6 element homebrew) just not the discipline. :?

    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
