hello,
i have a kenwood th-78a that has a small problem. the vhf side squelch stays open no matter where the knob is at. the green light stays on and full bars on the meter. there is no sound coming out of the speaker. this is only on the vhf side. i can use the uhf side fine, also can change positions with the 2 and uhf works, vhf wont, right or left side. the vhf will transmit tho. i have searched the internet without finding the problem yet. seen the other common problems but not this one specifically. the c-17 problem usually is on the right side. this problem follows the vhf no matter which side its on.
thanks in advance

    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
