Hi .
On my RCI 2980 WX when the RF power knob is set at 25 for example on the meter it reads
5 watts. Are the markings ( 0 - 50 ) for the RF power knob PEP readings?
I guess I dont understand the compairison between the knob settings and the meter reading.
I hope I explained myself ok.
Thanks again
GOD BLESS

I'm not sure if there is actually supposed to be a correlation, but if there is, it's PEP. I don't think I've ever seen a base radio with the 0-50 variable that matched what the variable was set at.

    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
