I've been away from CB for over 30 years. If I were to choose an ultimate base station around the Ranger products which radio and equipment would you use if you were going to run about 1500 to 2000 watts with a Jogunn 6 beam? Would you start with a DX 2980 or a DX 2995 and why? Which amps would you run with it and why?
The second phase of the question is which Ranger mobile would you run if you were to only run about 1000 watts so you wouldn't have to do alternator mods to the car. The choices of radios would be the RCI 2950 DX or the RCI 2970 DX coupled with which amps and why?
To make it more tricky, keep in mind that I will probably get a HAM license at some point and like to use the HAM frequencies also.
If I went the HAM route would I be better served to use a HAM amplifier with the base?
I know this is a loaded post but Ranger is going to be my choice of radio for base and mobile and I want to build around it. Ive been told to actually start with the type amp I want to run and then choose the radio to go with it.
