Designed for economy yet performance, the RCI-2985DX is the ideal in
low power base transceivers. Based on your requests for a low power,
economical version of the RCI-2990DX, we are now introducing the
RCI-2985DX. In order to create this low cost version, Ranger has
removed the high power amplifier and features many people don't use or
want to pay extra for, such as Echo and Talk Back. This makes it
possible for us to offer a base transceiver at a very attractive price
for a base station transceiver .
Similar to its big brother - the RCI-2995DX, this unit
offers the same exceptional sound quality and large, easy-to-use
controls. It also features all mode (AM-CW-FM-SSB) operation, variable
power output control, noise blanker and built-in heavy-duty AC power
supply.
The RCI-2985DX has an output power of 10 watts (RMS)
for CW-AM-FM and 25 watts PEP for SSB. The economical RCI-2985DX also
features a built-in digital frequency display, and a rear panel
frequency meter output connector for measuring transmit operating
frequency with an external frequency counter.
The RCI-2985DX offers microprocessor-based advanced
features typically found in high-end units costing several times as
much, such as multiple methods of frequency selection, programmable
frequency memories and scanning of selected frequency segments or 10
stored frequencies. A programmable TX/Rx split function is also
provided for 10 meter FM repeater operation.
The RCI-2985DX is a great sounding and
great looking unit for the serious operator. Each unit has a full
complement of extra front panel extra features such as a clarifier for
SSB operation, dual panel meters for display of received signal
strength, transmitter power output and antenna SWR. Pushbutton
selection of programming scanning functions, programmable repeater
split for FM operation enhances the 10 meter FM repeater activity.

What's different in the 2985DX from 2980?
- An improved receiver: designed for increased sensitivity and
image rejections.
- A double FET balanced mixer: for improved receiver
inter-modulation 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.
- Green backlit display
- Frequency range now 12-10 meters.
