Anybody have a picture of the frequency adjustments for this radio and not the EU model. When I received this radio new out of the box it was crap and off freq. I had President send it to their repair shop and it is better but still not 100%. Their tech must have done it in a hurry because Nobody comes in clear with the clarifier set on center and people say I sound distorted. I want to make freq. adjustments when skip is rolling with the clarifier set on dead center. I don't want to spend a fortune shipping this piece of junk all over the place because I already paid to ship it once. I'll either adjust it or scrap it with a BFH ! LOL And yes I did the Microphone mod posted in here and set the modulation, but that has nothing to do with receive.

Thanks for the info,I was looking at the service manual on my other computer and alignment looks like it takes more equipment than I have plus more experience to do it right. I might have to calm down and talk to President Electronics again. I'm sure I just got unlucky but dealing with a suspicious company is enough to anger anyone as they try to lay the blame else where.

Hope this helps

    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
