Talked to another guy dxing he was on an mk3 very stable good sounding unit for only 50 watts i must say im impressed thats 2 different ones ive talked to now (both in california) and they sounded superb im very impressed
 

Have you bought one yet??
no i havent bought one yet i spent my radio allowance on a new ts 667v for my 148f man it works good now too, the new hybrid 667s are a bit different you dont leave a lead on the varible pot open like the old ones
 
There are some being sold on eBay but I have to agree, If I were to get one now it would be from Yeticomm as well. I was lucky enough to get one from a forum member for a good price. I think I paid $265 Shipped. Not bad for what it is. And with some luck I was able to find a real icom hm-36 mic for about 25 shipped. Worked out great. I still am using it in my work van as a mobile, been over 1.5yrs now of some rough abuse and the radio stil kicks butt!!

    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
