i have one i dont hav ethat problem is this radio new , how old is it , i go tmine when i first came out i belive 1995. i had the am, fm, ssb filter in it as well, i have very little static or white noise it migh tbe just your area or a bad ground on your utility pole in fornt of your house
 
I also ran one for about a year with no problems. I really liked the radio. It has the basics of what u need to get on the air, and the price is right too. I ended up selling mine when I moved because of antenna restrictions we have(live right next to an airport). I run all mobile now.

Ok I figured there was something bugging my receive here once and a while because it doesnt always do it. Bad lighting arrestor or isulater perhaps?? Ive had these problems at other locations with other radios

    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
