Thanks for all that info , I guess I will try to have it repaired. At least get a price on it . But, this is nothing like the other Ranger/ Superstar units I have owned . Like you said it is definitely an RCI circuit board....but it won't hold a candle...
Anyone have any experience with one of these oldies? I received one of these "little Gems" several years ago & man it has been nothing but trouble . I wonder if the conversion was done properly???

I have one of these too so, I am interested in the responses .
I have mine hooked up to a modulator & it did a pretty good job talking to the "chicken haulers" LOL

One last question re: the variable power: If I turn the TOPGUN off & turn the power to max -Is it OK to run the radio like that all the time ?? BTW , I do not run an amp .
