Starting this thread because I will be continuing some things on this radio which I'm sure a few of you have sitting in a closet or in the Attic somewhere. So let's just consider this the master thread for this radio.

I started tonight with the limiter. This is a must even if you decide not to do anything else to it:

Replace c60 with 4.7uf (release)
Replace r67 with 10m (threshold)

    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
