Hello to everyone and I am asking for a little help from some of you Techs. I have a Cobra 29 LX that recieves fine and modulates and makes power occasionally....lol. I plugged it up the first time and no modulation...2 days later I plug it back up and it modulates and Im talking with a friend and it goes again...transmits but no power or modulation. I started checking voltages and something strange happens...the voltages steady drop while Im reading them. I have tried different Multi-meters, moved where I was grounding my black probe to different grounds..no change. Even tried 3 different power supplies....the board is almost identical to the good ole 29 ltd with exception of a different audio chip, but no service manual to be found yet. Can anyone lead me in the right direction?..Thanks...Oh yeah I tried different mikes as well so mike not a problem.

    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
