Has anyone bought a recent production run? I noticed the box display is different. Just wondering if anyone has a new one. I guess what I'm really wanting to know is, are the previous bugs worked out yet.
 

The last one that was brought to me to convert/tune,(1 month ago) had no jumper pins in it for the easy conversion. Had to use the solder side of the board. They looked to be snipped off?
I cant say whether this was done at the factory or at Coppers, but the box did appear to be unopened.
Now onto your real question, He hasn't had any of the old gremlins show their heads yet.
 
Yep, the factory snips the pins now to make it harder to convert. This was after they got heat from the FCC. His lack of issues is encouraging.
 
Did you get one of these m42?

I am looking for another mobile just 10&11 meters and was considering the 257hp after i seen the cre8900 is plagued with problems.

    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
