Newbie call for help: bad antenna

your performance will mostly relay on the antenna. if its new then should be ok
if used look for spliced or pinched coax.if ya not sure how 2 check swr
go to cbradiomagazine.com he has a nice article about it. think he may have a video

is bad then there shouldnt be anything wrong with antenna.however the way thier designed
some work better han others even if same lenth

    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
