Last week I picked up a nice President Grant DX ( Dual Final Export )

Everything works as it should, and the original owner had modified some of the front switches for different features such as a 10kc switch, high/low power. NB/ANL & Roger beep switches are untouched.

This evening I finally got around to giving the radio a good alignment and it really came to life. The only thing I've found is that the roger beep is not producing a tone.

If the roger beep is turned on, it will hold the radio in TX for a short time after the mic is unkeyed. Listening to it on a monitor radio verifies that the transmit is staying engaged, but no tone is being produced.

The schematic I've found is good, but doesn't really have too much labeled on it.

I was wondering if anyone had experience with this radio and could help me figure out why I'm not getting a tone.

Board is model PC-999AC
Radio is: President Grant

Thanks.

    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
