RCI 2980

I may have forgotten to mention the radio in my pics is the wx version, that is
probably why the power supply and main board are different.

My apologies.

Most folks add 2 variable knobs to adjust the echo. Looking at the back they mount them in the upper left corner of the back. This vid might help.

Yes I watched that video.

Where he says to take the two screws out to get access to the echo/delay pots my RCI 2980 has a board that is enclosed in a metal shield. You can clearly see it in the pictures I posted. Big wire plug that plugs into the shielded board goes to what looks like the frequency counter on mine.

No idea how I am going to move the shield out of the way to access the echo board.

Edit: Think I figured it out. The whole shielded board looks like it can be removed, but I will have to pull the bottom cover off to access the shield mounting screws. Then that will give me access to the echo board. What a PITA this is going to be!

RCI 2980 is is now my base station radio. It's a very nice radio.

I will need to upgrade the meter lights with some white LED. Transmits and receives very good. Best radio I have ever owned!

how do you like the 2980? still treating you good?
