I'm not going to get too excited yet, BUT it's a new small size for Ranger (about the size of a Emperor TS-5010) with high power so I'm hoping it's got a different board than the 6900 series and it's something completely new. Would be very exciting if this radio had good SSB stability with this layout (like a 2950), it could be a lot of fun. Only thing missing is that sixth digit but not much space for that on this one.

Saw that on Simon.

Strong resemblance to a G-99v2 (but a smaller radio than The Big Iron; the coal tender for a high drive KL-503)

120W power makes the Ranger attractive (size & features).

March release.

Yeah I'd rather have the 6th digit but still better than the export radios that had A-F band switch and no counter :) That was always fun.

It's definitely aimed more at the trucker crowd than hobby crowd but I'm just happy to see something different from Ranger that's not a rehash with 400 watts :) Although no idea yet what's inside so I'm guarded on my optimism.

Price might be insane too.
 
More junk. Sad.... (n)

Nope. Not for size, power and features to install in a big truck. Its a home run if price is reasonable.

It ain’t an S-955. But few drivers buy them.

I’d say it’s aimed square at Galaxy. That — and Connex — are the CB shop display case stalwarts. Have been for thirty years.

An 86V with a big block under the hood.

45W or 120W? Billy Big Rig can add that up.

6-AWG weld cable + split loom and fuse plus lug oughta be about $40. Or, get a pre-made Big Radio install kit at $60. An hour install time price for all of it.
