Ranger Communications once again sets the
performance and reliability standard for entry
level amateur mobile transceivers with the latest
generation of our popular RCI-2950DX/70 series of
cost effective, multi mode, high performance
transceivers.
Introducing the new RCI-2950DX & RCI-2970N2.
These new models feature microprocessor control of
not one but two amateur bands. The new RCI-2950DX,
rated at 25W PEP and the RCI-2970N2, rated at 200W
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 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.
