Real CB Radios are side mic

Be careful with the Side-Mic son,

Since side mic is top shelf

. . a 90-degree microphone cord adapter is a handy addition where that cord has to make a constant flexed turn if the radio is directly above the mic as used.

Most big trucks mount the radio in the overhead, so any mic jack location COULD benefit. Otherwise use strain relief.

My radio is center-mount overhead, but the mic cord is already towards the drivers hand, so a zip tie attached to the shelf works to “locate” that cord in conjunction with a GEARKEEPER.

Ah yes, the Right-angle Electron Spinner injector -

Just the perfect accessory to accelerate those particles and slam them into the board, in the RIGHT direction to instill fear into all the components involved and force them to cooperate or else...

A special reversed faceplate is available for those folks south of the Equator to operate their radios upside-down and preserve correct electron-spin.

    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
