Ranger 2970N2

AT8N

NEW 200W Version

Sold Out

A new higher power version of the popular Ranger 2970. This latest generation of this popular 10m radio now offers dual band operation for both 10m and 12m, on all modes.

This latest version now boasts 200W output on SSB and 100W on AM/FM.

A very large easy to read display is combined with well laid out controls offering all the features you are likely to want.

This is the new 2970N2 version, not to be confused with the cheaper 2970DX.

Can be expanded to cover 24-32MHz in countries where this is permitted.

    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-2970N2. 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-2970N2, rated at 200W 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 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 200 watts to 2 watts - great for PSK-31 operation.
