I have 2 TRC-449 that had the same issue..very weak RX..you can stick whatever you got osci, generator, whatever and its a bitch to trace back..
These had that typical scratchy RX that triggers me its a filter problem..
And that was it was!
C10, a ceramic cap besides T3, was split open..This cap is related to L5, which controls the 7.8 Mhz mix..
So if you have this issue, check all those disk caps at each coil..

    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
