Aligning Cobra 29, stuck on the TX part

https://web.archive.org/web/2017032...29wx_st/graphics/cobra_29_ltd_classic_sch.pdf

The notes by Rick Jackson on the left side of the schematic (above) suggest this:

Check C117, I (personally) have seen this capacitor go bad or even partially bad putting it in TX while still in RX, just enough to trip the TX switching transistor, but not enough to "short out" the RX side, and I have seen the same equivalent thing in a Cobra 25LTD (C114) too.

    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

    Wes, it's better if you start a thread on the main forum, more people are going to see your question.
