Stryker 955 left on. Won’t power on now and has 12 volts at plug

Did Mesa by chance check the mic wiring in the aftermarket mic both the switch and plug ends? It's possible there could be a defect in the aftermarket mic itself. Just a thought.

Which then means the SPEAKER return (Ground) may not engage even though the mic would work otherwise in a Galaxy or Uniden SSB radio.

    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
