I am using a back up radio for the fun of it and while checking dead key I noticed while I set my dead key at five watts and then rechecked it after calibration I was at 6 watts and then it suddenly dropped back to 5 watts while keyed with no modulation at all.Not real sure what up?
 

It's all wide open on the mic gain and fully keyed.It will drop if after it sits here in iddle for a few minutes and I go to key up and check things over and stay keyed for about 15 seconds and it goes from 6 watts to 5 watts with no modulation and it seems to do it sooner with each key up.

    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
