One single cloud came by but did have some lightning in it. Was busy cooking dinner and let it ride. Took a hit. There was a brief burning smell. Was not turned on. Power supply and radio fine. It comes on but has low output. Will only key 20 and swing 100. Nothing looks burned. The 4 internal fuses are good. Can't see the other side of the board of course. There are numerous diodes around that may check in-circuit with a diode tester. Not going to run it as is. Any suggestions as to what to what I could check. I'm not a radio tech but have a good VOM. Any help would be 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
