Anyone know how to fix the weather alert on a Radio Shack 12-262 weather radio?

I have one of these that I've owned going on 4 years. I bought it new and kit worked for a year, then it quit getting WX alerts. I've reset it, added a better antenna to it, verified the NOAA office was sending out alerts.....nothing. I ended up buying a Midland WR-100 as a replacement which gets plenty of WX alerts. However I'd like to try and fix this radio. i believe it's something inside the radio that causes it not to receive WX alerts...anyone know what it is?

    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
