cobra 29 is off channel.. VCO wont drop that far..can anyone help with this ?channel 19=27.195 and all other channels are the same way..thanks for any help
 

Did you just buy this radio? I have seen many 29's bought used that had uppers and lowers installed. I have one with the three position switch in the RF gain spot and another with the switch in the SWR cal spot, I bought both of them used and did not discover this untill I started using them.
 
found the problem..solder joints around the VCO were loose... touched them up and now the radio is back on frequency... yeah!!!!!

    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
