President George schottky mod


FWIW, the George already had one of the best receivers ever. Very quiet, yet capable of hearing the weakest signal. Somehow the ASC knows the difference between background noise and a legitimate signal.

IMO a properly working and tuned George should not need this, or any other mod. It was way ahead of it's time and even today stacks up against the best of them.

Other than the too-small knobs and only being able to tune in 5-KHz increments my only complaint about the George is the security code that has to be re-entered each and every time power was removed from the unit. Never have figured out a way to bypass that.

And where can I get an original stock mic for one?

    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
