Hi guys. I am sure some of you remember me, I was very busy over the last few months which left no time for the radio or this forum. This morning I fired my radio up, to find to my knowledge, my jumper was bad. When I key up with my swr meter in line my rf meter on the radio moves just a little bit and the swr warning light comes on. The external swr meter shows a 1.8:1 If I take the meter out of line includeing the jumper I have a 1.5:1 on the radio and the meter moves fine, also the swr warning light goes off. My next question is if the jumper is bad where could I buy quality coax for a resonable price. I forgot to add I am using a galaxy 2547 and the coax wouldn't see over a couple of hundred watts.
 

I do have an external radio shack swr meter but I can't use it to test my swr because my jumper is bad. Also I am just wanting a 3 foot jumper.

    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
