I picked up an older 2950(orange face) on cl that came with a meter and ant tuner, got it all for $50,, radio is working great so far but once and a while the audio cuts out and comes back anywhere from 5-20 sec later seems to do it also with an ext speaker plugged in, any known issues with this on these radio's. ill probly pull the covers and start poking around and see if I can make it happen, I read a lot of posts about these older 2950's and cold solder joints, also noticed the ext speaker jack doesn't seem to make good contact, if you wiggle the ext speaker plug you can get some static in the ext speaker

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
