here is all found on the 77-250 midland

mod--RV201 or cut d203

am power-- L304,305,306,307

here is some more I just found. should be to increase swing on the radio

#1 ~ Change R202 (1K) to a 470 Ohm
#2 ~ Change C320 (62pf-NPO) to a 120pf-NPO
#3 ~ Change R316 (3.3) Ohm to a .47 ohm
#4 ~ Re-tune L304, L305, L307 for Maximum forward with Radio HOT!

do not know how acurate this info is.
 
that is all I could find for the 77-250 radio. so no telling what can be found. that is info from some old listings for the radio.
 
i have a 77250 dated 1987 that i am trying to wire a mike too... it is different than the 77250 c x l models looks the same but no chrome and the mike wiring seems to be different
 
thats easy to do. just look for the ground or shield wire then put a jumper on it and touch the pins of the socket . it will either receive or Tramsmit. the other wire will be audio.

    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
