Some operators have indicated a desire to have their TS-430S noise blanker operate similar to the noise blankers in the TS-120S/130S series. By performing the following modification the operator will be able to increase the effectiveness of the TS-430S Noise Blanker circuit.

Procedure

On the RF unit (X44-1510-xx) change the following components.

R80 change to a 100 Kohm -+ Watt resistor (RD14CB2E104J)
R81 change to a 56 Kohm -+ Watt resistor (RD14CB2E563J)
C125 change to a 560pF 25V disc capacitor (CK45BIH561K)


This is an optional change and may not be performed in-warranty.

No realignment is required.

    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
