when i just key the mic i get a line on the tv screen on a certain channel but when i disconect the antenna and key the mic nothin happens..the radio is only 10 feet from the tv..whats up ? you,d think with the antenna off and this close to the tv there would be all kinda interference..
 

Uhh, I wouldn't do that too often - unless you want to fry yer finals!
A load must be kept on the radio's output when keying the mic on ANY radio!

The interference can be caused by simply having the radio too close to the TV set. Most people have cable TV these days, which doesn't have any problems. I don't. Then, making sure your radio is properly grounded may help, as well as the TV antenna - if you have one.
 
Rob..thanks for the reply but what i was wondering also is why there was no interference with the antenna disconnected.

    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
