I now have a Kenwood TS480sat with 100watts and this would blow the Ranger away! Looking back I dont think the Ranger got anywhere near its claimed 150watts! Now I have lots to listen to and work when 11m is dead.

It will get you on 11meters for some dx and they are a good CB SSB radio. Hooked up with a decent power mic the TX audio is pretty good, and a pretty decent reciever too. the 2970 is the high power version but you can hook the 2950 up to a amp and your away, make sure its all on frequency if your gettin a second hand one and ask the seller as many questions about the radio you can think of. If you get a good one youll be sorted nondisclosed_email@example.com (topbuzzuk)Mon, 20 Apr 2009 21:54:36 +0000 Ranger RCI-2950 DXhttps://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p7439,from=rss#post7439https://bfreebandingtalktheplanet.runboard.com/p7439,from=rss#post7439Hi to from from Steve163FB249 just looking at buying my first HF rig came across a Ranger rci-2950 dx any one know anything about them good or bad thanks to allnondisclosed_email@example.com (steve163)Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:57:31 +0000
