I had an extra top ends radial so I cut 1 down 4" from stock and now I have 1.2:1 @ 4 watts and 1.5:1 ch40 ~1.6:1 ch1 at 50 watts

the adjusting ring on the A99 only moves the SWR as moves 0.8:1 up and down swr.

this was tested with my uniden Washington, Cobra 19 WX ST II, RCI 2990

    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
