What would be the purpose of getting rid of the single 2290? I do not doubt what you guys say but I would like to know why. I understand the push/pull and running the transistors in pairs but what was the "intended" purpose or reason of having the extra 2290. And thanks again for all of the...

Here are the internal pictures.

Awesome! I'll let by buddy know. Appreciate the info

Oh ok. Well I will have to ck it out for myself. To find out what is really going on.

I thought about installing a variable power on the ranger but I don't know if I want to do that, after researching it. I have a 148GTL-DX I was could use but I believe or was told it had a 40watt DK

Oh ok. Thanks again Jeff. I wish we didn't have to deal with the "knock off" stuff. It makes it real hard for the newbies to find info. Lol. But if the demand is there its gonna happen. I will post an internal pic tommorrow that way it might be able to help the next person in my situation.

Here is an external. All I have for now.

Good afternoon fellow radio enthusiast. Got another question to ask because yet again Google has failed me. Haha My buddy has a "gray 600" and we opened it up today and saw it has 5x2sc2290 inside of it. ( I know this is useless w/o pictures. I will get some tommorrow) he was told it was a 1...

It just so happens that I was given aN ultratec srw/watt meter along with the other equiptment. So I hooked up the ranger to my srw/watt meter and I am seeing 30 watts on AM and looks to be about 70 on SSB. So it looks like I might have too much drive with the radio, and that's why the shop...

Thank you. You have given me a lot of great info. As I am new to the "hobby" I didn't really know what to ask. I will definitely ask more questions the next time I take a piece of equiptment to the shop.

I was thinks the same thing. Thanks Jeff you said it is set for high drive..how much drive do you think?

Thanks a lot for the info guys. I took it to a local radio shop and they put it on the meters and keyed up... As soon and he did this he turned it off and said "nope we don't want to do that". As if something was wrong.?? Is there any way to tell by looking at the board if it is set up to be run...

First let me say this is a great place for mean to learn. I have spent hours browsing and reading. Now to the real reason I'm posting. I was recently given a bunch of cb/ham equipment, one of them items was a Ranger AR 3500 with a Magnum 6000 mounted on top of it and connected to the radio. I...
