This poll question could have been better worded as:

How much power are you capable of running out of the base?

Or perhaps: What is your maximum output potential?

As it's currently worded the question implies as to how much power the operator runs consistently.

On a good day I can make about 650-700 out of my station. However I don't run that level of power all the time as it's not necessary to do so. Most of the time I run stock, which on my old 135 Cobra is about 4w AM, 12w PEP sideband.

Sorry to get pedantic about the use of language.

    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
