Does anyone have any tips/directions on how to identify, and change the C-98
Capacitor in the Bearcat 300? Mine has all the classic symptoms (low display
and can't program a frequency).


I have little experience repairing radios, and it's not clear where to find
C-98 in the radio, to replace it. Any suggestions??


Just a wild guess - low display would seem to be a power supply
problem, so I'd look in that area. If it's an electrolytic (it
probably is), the value would be marked in English.
