Have an older 2990, just aligned and works perfect in AM/FM modes except receive on SSB. Have to turn volume all the way up to hear anything. Was told to check d37, checked out fine. What else can I check, would like to get this radio back up to perfect shape.
Thanks
 

Which board does that radio have in it?
The symptoms can be caused by a dirty mode switch, or a failure anywhere between the crystal filter, (F3 in many RCI's) and the product detector. Lots of real estate there. Two can coils, a bridge network of general purpose diodes, and about 5 transistors,
I wish I could narrow it down a bit more, but I can't.

    Hello I have a old school 2950 receives great on all modes and transmits great on AM but no transmit on SSB. Does anyone have any idea?
