Passed to me from a close friend, a really nice vintage type radio. It has not been used in about 10 years, closet kept no moisture.
Plugged in and all seems well, Mic keyed, ON AIR lamp comes on, least bit of noise MODULATION lamp comes on as well. Meter shows good SWR, there is no noise except a HUUM. Antenna connection is good, tried on different Antennas, still no noise. Squelch seems to efferct needle operation, just no receive. Is it something simple, PO said when last used was working good, who knows. Any help would be appreciated, it's just to nice of a base station to discard.

thank's for the website, I had already found it, but being a stranger to the inside of a radio, and especially schematics, I'm lost. I was just hoping it would be simple. 3's to you and yours.

    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
