Picked up an old dead soldier this weekend at the Austin Hamfest. Hygain CLR-2 stripped her down and started to build a 5/8's or .64 Machined an insulator from a 1 1/4 piece of Delrin so far so good. Looks like it will be strong enough to hold in the winds we get on the Gulf coast.

    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
