The one thru hole on the back of the CPU board?
That's extremely interesting, thats the first time I have ever seen this chassis do that.
So you replaced it?
Gonna share this with Roger....

I did contact him briefly
He said that he is aware of a guy in Australia that was writing his own software for the radio that limited it to 26-28 MHz.
I don't want to keep him distracted at work, I did share the link to the thread with him.
Hopefully he will drop in.

Yes, your correct.
I had forgotten that the frequency display doesn't change so it would drop 2 MHz with the incorrect display.
Strange problem.

He was advised over and over the design was flawed, he just ignored them or fired them.
Too bad the rest of the passengers paid for his agroance with their lives.

There's some guy on one of the Facebook groups that does that with mobile radios and apparently people buy them, not my thing but whatever floats ur boat.

Yes, this was the radio used on the Titan submersible that imploded.
I guess it's not a big surprise, the guy used a game controller to operate the sub......

Take a look at this picture and note the radio mounted in the rack.
Take a wild guess where this radio was installed.
To be honest I was shocked when I spotted this image.
Back later with the answer.

The engineer that was designing radios for ranger retired some time back.
I agree with you, it feels like they are rehashing the same things in different packages now.
Ranger was the original clone master, copying uniden, then building the cpu controlled 2950 series radios.
Nowadays they seem...
I guess they are saving some labor not installing the echo board, and why don't they just label it echo/delay instead of clarifier?
I scratch my head at some of the things that ranger builds but people keep buying them.
