Mirage MX 86 HP....

I'm not 100 percent but I believe they stopped producing them because Chip with Ranger went on to do other things and the Mirage line was his baby. The AM only brother's the mx-36hp went on and evolved into the 36hp2 which was had some upgrades done to is like getting rid of the echip to convert, getting a real channel selector instead of those cheesy encoder and a much cleaner receive. Good solid reliable black box radios from what I've witnessed and they tune up nice too. I'd have been nice to see the 86 evolves to a v2 but shoot even the 36 is gone now. It seems like the ones that turn out to be decent rigs get axed for some reason or another. Despite what many say, bad opinions are just bad opinions and if you like your rig and it does what you want it to do then that's what matters. Enjoy your 86 brother!

    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
