Ranger warranty is two years. Not going to compare Galaxy against Ranger as to who will fix anything as I have not tried Galaxy and their warranty! Ranger replaced a modified radio which they couild have returned! That impressed me! Think Galaxy has a DX radio out I may try as my next radio!

Whoops! UPS at the door at 7:10 this evening with a package and a note from the Technician at Ranger. " This radio is sealed and "ANY" Modifications voids the warranty! They shipped radio back same as I sent mine. No complaints there. A happy ending unless I get stupid and send it out...

Received an e-mail from Ranger this afternoon. They were not able to figure how the damage to the radio occured. I was notified that any altering of a radio voids the warranty including the modifying Clay's did. The damage inside the radio seemed to be damage during shipping. Perhaps a hard...

Thanks for the PM Cold Beer! I am sort of staying low key at the moment till I hear from Ranger. My complaint about Clays now is they did not accept the radio back as their guarantee states. They sent me to Ranger which will probably give me the run around! I never opened the radio. The...

My final words to them was regarding word of mouth! Not into spamming them! Lots of good folks on their forum and the problem is mine! :wink:

Hey HootyAl! Other side of the State on the Gulf. Spring Hill, North of Tampa! Still awaiting Rangers Response! I sent mail with the radio and if the tuning voids the warranty I told them to ship it back to Clay's!

I do have a plan of action all based on the response I get from Ranger. Wishing all a great Easter Weekend!!!

Probably keep the Washington. It's an oldie but a goodie. Had the added freq's installed years ago and it kept on ticking when many others failed. Upgrade speaker is a necessity though! I need to find a shop and have it tuned up and checked out. I agree on the scanner for the weather...

Hot Rod, There are 7 weather channels. They were just basically bleeding all the time. Scratchy irritation in the background always present. Clays receptionist said they should have placed a filter in it but didn't! With the radio off the weather alert is supposed to sound a warning which it...

Good Morning SportyGreg! Yes I sent the entire set of paperwork along with the receipts for the Radio Mic and tuning job! His representative (Clay's) told me they did not alter the radio in a manner to void the warranty. I in turn asked what I paid $40.00 for! Their document said tune...

I bought a Silver Salute Mic and a couple of other items also! Not a money thing. Just the principle! Not worth hasseling over! Appreciate the advise and thoughts though! I did remove myself from the forum that he advertises on and let them know why! Incidentally have been reading this...

Probably a smart move Marty. I would have bought locally but there are no shops available in my locale. I am beginning to dislike this on line buying as you are at the mercy of the seller and what just happened here is a real possibility. No recourse on the seller. If the weather channels and...

Lady at Clay's asked I send it to Calif. as they were short handed and their tech felt it was a Warranty problem. 2day air was the quickest way to end the charade! I asked to speak with a tech and she said they did not have phones in the shop as they would get no work done! :roll: You are...

2 day air. 22.00 to securely pack. UPS Shop, Spring Hill, Fl.

Thanks Sportygreg. I bought the radio from Clay's Radio Shop in Texas. They charged $40.00 to "Tune the Radio" I have not been inside it as I only know how to turn it on! :oops: I called Clay's this AM and they referred me to the Ranger Factory in California as they feel it is a warranty...
