New Am / Fm Handheld

TRS had some Albrecht AE 2990's a couple weeks ago for $280.
If you search in Europe they are still for sale but not cheap.




18 in stock when I posted this.

There is a FB group dedicated to these radios with lots of users.

I have a few of these, and the older generations of them as well. They are amazing fun, DX can be had with a whip antenna, however the SSB performance is very average (especially on the "newer" generation radios). They are all dated and compromised designs.

We really need a "new school" AM/FM/SSB handheld rig.... It's #1 on my wish list :)

    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

    Wes, it's better if you start a thread on the main forum, more people are going to see your question.
  • @ heartbreaker3473:
