I have a side mic 148 GTL from 96 that I need an inner knob for the RF Gain/SWR Cal as mine is cracked and won't stay on the shaft.

Pic of inside of knob showing cracked and pic of radio for reference.

I am located in PA.

Please PM if anyone has a parts radio that has one that will fit this one.

Sorry I dont have an extra knob for you, and I cant make out the crack in the fuzzy picture, but is it possible to pull the crack a little wider and sneak some epoxy in there? If so, then wrap something around the knob (tape?) to hold it tight until it dries.

Its a different animal, but I've used epoxy to repair other knobs, such as this one....



Good luck

    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
