A legendary design lives on in the Ranger TR-296 family of 40 channel all mode (AM/SSB) CB radios

Featuring advanced phase-locked loop circuitry with digital frequency synthesis, the TR-296 has been a favorite of serious CB operators who demand peak performance, ease of operation and attractive design.



The TR-296 is available in 6 different models to satisfy your preferances:

The standard series offers your choice of gold on silver ( TR-296GK ), all chrome

( TR-296DX(C) ), or traditional silver front with black case ( TR-296DX(B) ).



The TR-296 is also available with a built-in 5 Digit Frequency Counter. This counter offers 0.001% accuracy in the read out of the frequency selected. This unit is also available in choices of gold on silver ( TR-296FGK ), all chrome ( TR-296FDX(C) ), or traditional silver front with black case ( TR-296FDX(B) ).



This reliable, time-proven favorite is sure to enhance the looks of any installation, be it luxury automobile or 18 wheeler!
