Texas Ranger _6900F Jumbo

[ButtFuzz]

Radio has been sold! (Just like that!)
Thanks, BJ.


12 Bands of 40 channels.
Covers 12, 11, Freeband, 10 meters.
Course clarifier unlocked from factory.
This is the original series of this radio and was intended as an AR, as witnessed by the lack of echo and talk back on this radio. Later, RCI succumbed to the market and added echo and talk back to this series and guess what? It caused them nothing but problems!
"BIG FINALS" -- I do not recall if they are 2X SD1446s or MRF455s, but this radio will EASILY do 150 watts PEP on SSB all day long.

It works.

$190 Shipped ConUS, and it is heavy.

Comes with stock mic (you DO NOT need some over-modulated gizmoid with this radio.) and molex power cord. There are no brackets for mounting, but a kit can be purchased from eBay for about $10 USD. Note: takes same bracket as 148 GTL, Galaxy 88, etc.... but due to size of heat sink, you must put the bracket on top and 'hang' the radio. A bracket will not fit underneath for desk mounting.

PM me here or leave extraneous commentary on this thread.

Later,
Rob

Nice, the one I had years ago had 2290's in it like the old 2970 radio.

Is there a way to tell without opening up the radio? serial # perhaps?

If it's an older model which I believe it is, look at the year it was built, and maybe serial #. ButtFuzz noted it has big finals. Most likely mrf455's, 2290's or 1446's. All capable of 150 watts out of 2 of them. Should be a good radio. Pop the lid and take some photos when you get it or if ButtFuzz will before he ships it or if he hasn't boxed it up yet that is. Keep an eye on the temps. Don't have anyone mess with it either. No need to mess up a good working radio to get a few more watts out of it. Sounds like BF has it dialed it and ready for action!! Have fun with it.

I have no intentions of messing with it, was just curious regarding finals...I think this model cane out in 1999 or there after...Thanks for the info. 222DBFL 73
