    RCI-2950DX tuning question.

    Good years L05 & LT1. Well at least you owned 2 of them. I never owned a real one I wish, only 1/18 die-cast models. I have '89 Caprice, '95 Caprice and a'78 Fury. All NYPD. Did you favor one of them? Which one?

    Hi I need some help please, I just got a mint 2950DX black screen green digits, board number EPT695015BR. When I was looking inside the radio I was checking out VR17 AM modulation and I noticed it was pointing in the direction of 9’o clock (Center would be 12’o clock). When I watched several...

    AT-6666 vs Lincoln II+

    Thanks, I like both radios in their own way as far as functions go. I've always liked the features & lay out of the 2950's but those radios have terrible selectivity and very noisy receiver as I owned them in the past. Not good for skip on SSB. Do any of these radios have a receiver like the RCI...
