Ranger Communications
once again sets the performance and reliability standard for entry
level amateur mobile transceivers with the latest generation of our
popular RCI-2950/70 series of cost effective, multi mode, high
performance transceivers.
Introducing the new RCI-2950DX & RCI-2970DX. These new
DX models feature microprocessor control of not one but two amateur
bands. The new RCI-2950DX, rated at 25W PEP and the RCI-2970DX, rated
at 150W PEP are perfect for the recent band openings on 10 and 12
meters. Now you can upgrade your mobile Ham capabilities with a radio
that is rich in features and reasonable in cost.
The new DX models have retained the operating features
of its popular predecessors, including programmable repeater offset
and capabilities for a CTCSS tone option — great for increasing
repeater activity on 10 meters — and receiver scanning for quick
search of active frequencies. The units offer three methods of
frequency selection, non-volatile memory to store and scan up to ten
favorite frequencies, and front panel frequency selector lockout.
In addition, the DX Series offers an impressive array
of design and performance improvements:
-
An improved
receiver: designed for increased sensitivity and image
rejections.
-
A double FET
balanced mixer: for improved receiver intermodulation rejection.
-
New power supply
protection: and temperature compensation for improved stability
and reliability over wide temperature ranges.
-
Surface mount
components: for increased resistance to shock and vibration.
-
Improved display
lighting: for easy reading in a wide range of light conditions.
-
Variable Power
Output from 150 watts to 2 watts - great for PSK-31 operation.
More features:
- 10
& 12 Meter Bands
-
Large Frequency Display with Dimmer
