  1. Write down all your settings because they will all be lost after 'CPU Reset'
  2. Turn the radio over and take off the back cover. Locate the control board (Right front corner) you will see 9 jumpers, marker 1 through 9. add a Solder bridge to pad number 5 . See the attached picture for details
  3. Reassemble the radio.
  4. Do a Full Reset by holding the "FAST" and "LOCK" buttons in while pushing the "POWER" switch to ON.
The TX range is now 1.8-30Mhz and 50-54Mhz.

    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
