The radio work`s. The radio will key up but will not modulate. And it will not receive. Hope someone can help me with this problem. Thank`s.
 

I know this is a 5 year old post, but DT did you ever get it figured out?

I have a Cobra 29 LTD Classic from April 2003 sitting on my table, that I acquired with a stack load of radios. At first it TX'd and RX'd fine. Then today it decided to not RX at all.

When I went to TX, the needle moved backwards a little but no TX. At the time I had the radio plugged up to an external SWR/power meter and the meter did not show any dead key or modulation, albeit the TX/RX led changed from yellow-green to red.

It still works ok on the PA side. I even tried a few different mics but no dice.

Then I unplugged the radio and tried it again 10 minutes later, and it magically started working right again.

What gives?

    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
