New (new-ish) Texas Ranger TRE-2639


Another rehashed pig with lipstick from Ranger. They seem incapable of an original thought when it comes to radio design. They are stuck in the 1990's while companies like Qixiang are firmly rooted in the year 2025.

An AM only radio with a dual clarifier?

that just don't make no sense!

and that RB-AM-CH19 switch?

WTF is that about?

Seems like someone at Ranger asked, "what are the absolute cheapest bells and whistles we can add to the front of this radio?"

My official review?

Lame.

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.

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 stuck in a rut.
