i just got a used 2980wx everything seems to work but all i get is static when in WX mode. also, I can see the little green RX light pulsing from dim to bright. Other than that, everything on the radio is working as it should. Does anyone have any ideas what can be causing this? i saw a post where someone said it was a " low pass filter " but never said where it was located.

    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
