Ranger Communications
once again sets the performance and reliability standard for entry
level amateur mobile transceivers with the latest generation of
our popular RCI-2950/70 series of cost effective, multi mode, high
performance transceivers.
Introducing the new RCI-2950DX & RCI-2970DX. These new
DX models feature microprocessor control of not one but two
amateur bands. The new RCI-2950DX, rated at 25W PEP and the
RCI-2970DX, rated at 150W PEP are perfect for the recent band
openings on 10 and 12 meters. Now you can upgrade your mobile Ham
capabilities with a radio that is rich in features and reasonable
in cost.
The new DX models have retained the operating features
of its popular predecessors, including programmable repeater
offset and capabilities for a CTCSS tone option — great for
increasing repeater activity on 10 meters — and receiver scanning
for quick search of active frequencies. The units offer three
methods of frequency selection, non-volatile memory to store and
scan up to ten favorite frequencies, and front panel frequency
selector lockout.
In addition, the DX Series offers an impressive array
of design and performance improvements.
-
An improved
receiver: designed for increased sensitivity and image
rejections.
-
A double FET
balanced mixer: for improved receiver inter-modulation rejection.
-
New power supply
protection: and temperature compensation for improved stability
and reliability over wide temperature ranges.
-
Surface mount
components: for increased resistance to shock and vibration.
-
Improved display
lighting: for easy reading in a wide range of light conditions.
-
Variable Power
Output from 150 watts to 2 watts - great for PSK-31 operation.

- 10
& 12 Meter Bands
-
Large Frequency Display with Dimmer

Ranger radios sometimes have a small
scratch or ding that the factory covers with black touch up.
We cannot effect this and do not guarantee your radio to be
cosmetically perfect. Bells CB will make no marks or
scratches on your radio ourselves. Ranger might though and
I cannot control it.
