Their an ok radio. Use the 6900 board.
If You only need a AM/FM Rig I would wait a while on a new Radio that is coming out this summer.

embalmer, what radios do you already own, and are you replacing one, or just want to try something new?

Soo many of the rangers (and galaxies) are the same boards. I'd say look for the features and style you want and pick one.

I think a few things that the radios mentioned above are missing is frontend overload protection, a solid front end reciever to just name a couple. We are going to see these features in the future

embalmer42,
I have had a couple in past, (2) new & (1) used. Didn't like any of them.
One had a drift problem and all three had the "birdie" as some would call it. This is where a AM carrier of around 5 "s" units would gradually creep up the band.

But this was several years ago now, so maybe some of the above problems have been fixed.
