Hi guys ole 577 here..been a while.
Anyhow I have a brand new TS 500V with non red dot shibas here.
Really nice amp,i did the conversion following the CBT instructions to a Tee and the amp will not key from radio RF.If I short the emitter of the keying tranny to ground the relay keys and amp works perfect.
Did anybody ever run into this problem,Im hoping its just a glitch in the directions(missing step ect..) and not a blown trace on the bottom of the board or bad component somewhere?
any help sure would be greatly appreciated.

    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
