RCI 2995DX CF troubleshooting help needed

That narrows it down a bit. If the transmitter is also putting out a signal on multiple channels it would point to something the receiver and transmitter have in common.

But this a receive-side only fault. First thing that comes to mind is the first IF filter FL2 or possibly the second AM ceramic filter FL1. No good way to test those except to replace the part and see what changes.

Any chance this radio is new enough to be under warranty?

Thank You for helping me. I will try to replace those parts. And see what happens. Thank you again.

Question, would you know where I could purchase those parts. 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
