Cobra 29 Schottky diode swap?

I have a Cobra 29 LTD Classic that I am about to start playing with.

I am interested in the Schottky diode swap. I believe I need 1N6263 Schottky Barrier Diodes

Does anyone have any information on doing it for this radio? Is it: D5, D6, D24

I am not interested in the preamp "Boost" (swapping the transistor) that I have seen on the 'net, I just want to quite the RX down a bit.

Thanks

    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
