Wear and tear.
 
Common problem. Every DIY guy should have a bag of new jacks. I personally prefer replacing them. Cleaning sometimes solves the issue, but often only temporally. Contact tension degrades over time, especially on those cheap mini jacks, not to mention the effects of corrosion. The exception to my rule is when Styrofoam was often found stuck inside those jacks and other orifices on a new radio. Fortunately that's not much of an issue anymore since they started wrapping radios in plastic first.

    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
