Another from Ranger RCI-X9

It's the physics of the situation you describe, that reminds me of the many times I could have been found parboiled.

There were many times I thought my Pop-Up timer went off on those HOT days...

The X9 kind of reminds me of this radio from years back. Same size, same bezel style and power output is similar also. The 2879 is very unlikely but wonder if it's a similar amplifier placement or main pcb.

I never held a mirage stealth so I don't know but just maybe there's some old technology reincarnated for the now

Has dual fans!

*shows fans*

*places fans on surface in such a way to guarantee no airflow*

Let's see how much power she puts out!

Just wish we could see what's inside.

I asked Ranger that question, what board is in this and when can we see it.
So far nothing.

They’ve stole my idea. I knew ordering all those white channel segments from China was gonna spark interest.

New board EPT950M10B. Amp section visible as well. RT1s in the radio, same amp section as 2995DX.

Back to the x9, it's interesting that one such shop with that magic pixie dust said this radio needed lots of reworking to clean it up.

Matt says it cleans up really well with some tuning....

Watch for yourself



Not advocating either way, just crazy how there's two different perspectives on it.

Is it because a guy believes he's the only one competent enough to make it cleaner and meaner.....

He just ghosts WWDX for the ideas...

Not sure why so many AM/FM Mobiles and pricey ones at that on the market.

If you can even get your hands on them. Seems the shortage is supposed to continue for a longer period so is said. I heard from a dealer what I'd heard from a forum member here, ranger shut down its manufacturing sites after it finished pumping out what they had to build. Supposedly a semiconductor shortage like the auto industry is saying.

True or not.... who really knows amongst the other non-truths we're told.

 

[TheRealPorkchop]

They, "they", claim Ford has lot full of new trucks just sitting because of a shortage of some chip. I don't really buy all that but whatever... whoever is dragging their tail over there at Ranger....

Uncanny - isn't it?​

Yes, there is some truth to that. Seems like the consumer is getting gouged on these high dollar AM/FM radios when they are available. But who am I at the end of the day.

Looks like ranger is taking charge of the galaxy lineup. The tre-797 was the dx-979 and now this one. Hardly anything from galaxy while ranger puts a different face on them.
