I have a swr of 1.1:1 39 ohms and reactance of 0 just wondering if I need to do anything to get the ohms closer to 50 or just leave it alone. mfj says ant is 99% effecient this is on a suburuan with two antennas and front one hot.

Leave it alone. If the SWR is 1.1:1 with O reactance, the radio system doesn't really care what the ohms are. I've ran 2500 watts at 20 volts all day long and never had any problem. Kale

    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
