Lincoln WTF

I just bought a Doc tuned Lincoln that is supposed to be chipswitched and has a cooling fan.

The RF power out has no effect on RF power out.
The roger beep does not work
The NB seems to do nothing
It swings 20 watts on AM and SSB( I was depressed)
The bands are both numbered and lettered. 9 is cb

Can anyone enlighten me to possible control changes that I must not be understanding?
 

So Sparky did the chipswitch and you took the cover off and looked inside? Uh oh; now the warranty has been made void.

Just kidding . . .
If you have a problem with Sparky's work, you have a receipt, and a phone number, a phone, and a finger. Why didn't you call him up instead of you frustration posting here? Sure he has some answers for you. I'm sorry; your post doesn't make sense . . .
 
It sounds to me like the radio was sold by someone who "claimed" it was a Doc tuned chipswitched radio radio. I take it this is a private sale? Sounds to me like if Doc did tune it that was some time ago. At this point someone else has been inside it and I would say you got taken on the deal. Hope you did not pay too much.
 
It was a private deal. Thanks for the responses. I was blown away last night that I got ripped off by a forum member. I sent that person an email and will pursue a refund.

Where did anyone say they bought anything from your pal Sparky?

    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
