Even though the mandatory conversion date for television stations to switch from analog signals to digital has been delayed by four months, hams are still assisting the FCC and their communities by providing technical support to those who need assistance. Although many TV stations won't turn off their analog signals until the new deadline, the law allows stations to apply to switch on the original date -- February 17 -- or any time before June 12.

So far the FCC has allowed 641 stations to go fully digital
( of the 1796 stations)
However a additional 123 stations asked to be allowed to go digital now but FCC told them No.

I would tell Everyone to get on board now
for even if they still have analog in their area,many stations are already been transmitting digital

    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
