    RCI 2970n2 Heat Shield

    Anyone have any ideas on how to fix the heat shield on the bottom of the 2970n2? A couple of the little tabs that snap into the heat sink that hold the shield in place are broken off. I called radioshopsupply to see if I could get another one ordered, but it will be a super inter-galactic order...

    fair price for ts530s?

    I just gave $200 for an almost mint TS820S on ebay a few weeks ago. I thought it was a steal. It had one or two minor issues that my tech said would be easy to fix. Here is a link to the ebay listing so you can see the pics. This a VERY CLEAN radio, it has very little running time on it...

    RCI 2970n2 Problems

    Im going to send it in shortly. Im here just wondering what the factory specs are supposed to be. Im curious to know what the amp gate voltages should be set at for a 100w dead key. The Galaxy 98VHP specs say 4 volts and 65w deadkey.

    RCI 2970n2 Problems

    I bought it from the CB shop at the T/A truckstop in Wytheville, VA. The radio was sold to me as new, out of box stock. I found out later after I talked to Ranger that it was 2012 vintage, but never sold. It most likely was one of those that came with everything turned up and set wrong. This...

    RCI 2970n2 Problems

If they wont cover it, then he wants $80 to straighten it out. I find it interesting that Ranger allowed these radios to...

    The radio came from the CB shop at the T/A in Wytheville, VA. I checked the Ranger website, they don't have any files for the N2.

    RCI 2970n2 Problems

    Hi guys, I just purchased a new - in - box RCI 2970n2 to use for 10 meters in my truck. It turns out that it is old stock from 2012. Turns out that it seems to be one of those that was delivered with everything set too high. This radio was drawing over 50 amps, with about 150 watt dead key. The...

    QRZ WARNED BY THE FCC

    I dont see what the big deal is. I didnt know all ham radio equipment has to be "type-accepted" now. Since we are supposedly allowed to experiment and build our own equipment, why cant i pick up a used cb (export or whatever) and modify it to get on 10m? If this is the case, then we shouldnt be...
