Remove the Bottom cover there is a white wire held together with solder, remove the solder so the wire is free this enables 10watts power.
Next

On the front panel there are 4 jumpers, the radio comes with 1,2,3 closed

Make the jumper now 1,3,4 closed and the bands
25.615 to 30.105 are now open.

    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
