That is to say how long can you reasonably talk before the radio gets hot and starts to cut out?
 

I've found during a fairly continuous qso it gets warm after 15-20 minutes and tx starts cutting out around 30-40 minutes, haven't found the limit for low power. After cutting out on high, dropping to low power resulted in clean audio again for as long as I could hit the repeater.

    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

    Wes, it's better if you start a thread on the main forum, more people are going to see your question.
  • @ heartbreaker3473:
