In its day, it was a very good, well performing base radio. Good looking unit you have there.

Even present day this thing kicks butt! everyone i talk to cant believe how awesome these things sound. There are a few guys in my area that have
2000's and new rci bases, 2995's etc. and this thing sounds BETTER!
Right out of the box new it does 8 swinging to 15. all you have to do is cut the audio diode and BOOM!!!!!!

    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
