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 and RCI-2970 series of cost effective, multi mode, high performance transceivers. Introducing the new RCI-2970DX. This new DX model features 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.

Detail Information: 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 inter modulation rejection.
* New pwr supply protection: and temp 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

Warranty: Ranger Communications, Inc., (RCI) is pleased to announce that the warranty period on the new RCI-2950DX and RCI-2970DX has been increased from the previous 1 year time period to a full 2 year warranty. This includes parts and labor. Ranger believes that with the new surface mount technology (SMT) implemented within the design of these models, the resistance to shock and vibration has greatly increased and the DX Series should have the longer warranty period.
