Per the thread title, I have a recently purchased President Richard and the RF gain stays wide open and does not change when turning. I guess i would rather have it break on max gain than the other way around but it is still annoying. I pulled the potentiometer and measured resistance and it is providing resistance. I guess i need to look further up the board. Any tips?? Thanks!!

If you're referring to the current Richard, send that dude in on warranty.

    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

    Wes, it's better if you start a thread on the main forum, more people are going to see your question.
