Indeed there are ! And then there are those who recognize poorly engineered overpriced crap when they see it and aren't afraid to point it out. In the hope that others will take heed and stay away from the aforementioned crap.
Well as you know there is a market for that stuff… I have several rangers . They have served me well. But the new ones need better quality control…
I have a 2950 from the 90's, it was alright except for the noisy RX. The Galaxy 949 I have, is over 20 years old and it too is alright. The stuff they are pushing now, is pure, unadulterated rubbish.
When I am in the mood to hook up a toy radio, like I did last night, I connected my Galaxy 2547 since it was dusty. I blew the dust off, used it for about 5 mins and took it off the table. Connected my 41 year old Jackson, talked on it till I passed out and it is still connected. RX is night and day, by comparison to any Ranger built rig I have here. 2950, 2950DX, Galaxy 949, Galaxy 2547, Galaxy 94HP, Galaxy 98VHP....no comparison. The money these things go for these days is stupid.
Have you checked fleabay prices on Grant XL lately?? Seen more than a few going for $300+. With shitty blue meter lights and bad mod installations.
There is one there that has a $300 price tag, it's been there 9+ months. There are 3 others with extras, that don't look so bad, yet have blessed meter lights, one has multiple different colors, all from the same guy. No idea if they've been recapped or just modded. Minimum is about $150. Then there are the ones that might work, might not, for $150+...
Happy to say I have 3 that are decently clean. Need to have 2 of them recapped at some point.
