So just got this radio in today, got it powered up but went to check swr and something strange happened. When keying the mic the RX gets louder (clear as well) but no transmit, when not keyed it gets really quiet. Don't know the wiring due to not having schematic so couldn't tell for sure if something was out of place. I'm not a tech but if I know what's broke 9 times out of 10 I can fix it.

    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
