Ranger enters the antenna business

[Shioda]

Ranger out with a new line of antennas called the Road Ranger. Shipments left the docks on the 2nd. Looking to get one for testing in a few days.

Pictures? Specs? Links? Do we have to install a small jumper to get them to tune to 11m? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[Shioda]

No jumper needed, just plug and play.

 

[Captain Kilowatt]

I just thought Ranger's antenna line would be just like their line of radios that require a small jumper to activate the 11m function.

Is there anything besides the 'name' that would be different than any other antenna on the market now?

Don't know. They hired an engineer to design it. Here's a picture of one. Supposedly several different designs. Mine was shipped today by UPS so should have it by the weekend

Looks like so many others out there. I've had my Nugatrons for close to 15 years now. Seen many imitate them.

Nugatons...I had one of those...And it was a knock-off of the Monkey...Think I bought it from Premiere Electronics, or Pacetronics...forgot now...It was a well built heavy antenna...When I bought my first 10K, I sold it to a local who still runs it on his Big Rig Rock Haul'er...

Ive actually got a nugatron in my stack of antennas here its a nice antenna built pretty good.

As far as the Nugatron antenna, this was a very good antenna for my applications running freebands in a semi truck. Bought this a long time ago from Diamond Jim out of Oklahoma. But i will keep my Bronco Buster. It does better then the Nugatron and the Monkey made and the Stryker antenna out of Oklahoma.
