well i got my rci 2950dx

2950

on very low power it Dk about 3watts swings to 10 or 12 it wa showed to me while they set it up to hit my davemade 5pill .with the box on i get around 450 dk and swing to about 1kw. so it seems to be workin fine i'm very happy with it plus ei like the green light better than to old orange ones better on the eyes while driving at night
 
Good... that's all I needed to hear. I'm sure it can be set-up for a 1 Watt DeadKey swinging no more than 10 than...

I am deciding on the RCI 2950 or RCI 6900 F25 for my next radio to match up to the KLV 1000 ... The Texas Ranger has no where NEAR the noise suppresion to Signal Ratio the RCI Rangers I have here in the house...
 
2950

yeah u should be fine high miler actually i heard theat they coul dbe tuned to dk 1/2 watt and swing to 6 and on high power dk like 15 swing to 30 , you shoud be fine with 1watt dk
 
Excellent.... How's the Signal to noise ratio?? That's one of my main concerns... The ability to block out line and static noise well still retaining the Signal such as my Ranger 6300&6900 do...
 
all 2950's exibit lots of white noise due to the cpu. you caun use new zenier diodes to control the detector noise but they will always have some.

i will honestly say the quietest reciever i have ever had in a 10 meter rig is a uniden hr 2510. in cbs the best i ever used was my uniden pro 810e base. i had a hard time reading the 2510 thats why i sold it. i wish i hadent.
 
Looks like I'll be going with the RCI 6900 F25 .... I plugged the pre-amp in my 6900 tonight... s-4 Noise level... In my Texas Ranger S-7 Noise level...

Thanks for the input.

either you got a lemon or they really screwed it up when they "tuned" it should be like a rock on ssb and not do all those weird things you say its doing. that radio should be doing almost 50 watts.
 
woah,something definitely wrong......2950s are well known for very clean and stable ssb.i cannot think of anyone i know of with a 2950 who has had problems such as those mentioned.
 
well sent my rci 2950dx back

well i sent the 2950dx back to gi joes to see if they find and or fix my radioe the screen goes blank have to trun it off and back on agin seems low in power don't have a meter but if a buddy on a cobra 18 wal mart specail on a 102 is out talking me and reciving better with same ant i think it may be low in power and as i saied eralyer the claifier just plain sucks maybe it is the freq shift i hear about now after i bought one the 11m mod is about the only good thing they did well we well see how good of service they have they should have it by friday so well see and keep you all posted
 
rci 2950 dx

thomas,

i have had your radio on the bench for two days. i can find nothing wrong with it. i have talked to people on usb and lsb, with know problems. using the clarifier it is working fine. i have been talking today to people on different frequencies and have had no problems with those freqs. i have turned the radio off and on about a hundred times and it comes on perfect every time.


told them it is seeming weak and some times the display does not come have to trun it off then back my buddy with a out of the box corbra 18 and a 102'' is out talking me i have same antana what yall think it is gi joes tech named ron they told me to read the dierections when i firest got it read them front to back so i know it is not me .
 
here ya go

Dear Sir,

My name is Ron, I am the tech that tunes every new radio that leaves this store. I have a certain trademark that I use to mark every radio that I set up, peak & tune or convert. I was checking the records on the sale of a 2950 Ranger to you. We shipped you a radio in June, which is correct, but it was not this radio. We take care of our customers at GI Joe's, I will bend over backwards to take care of them. In return I expect them to be honest with us. This radio is older than a month and it is not a radio that I peaked and tuned. You will need to pay for the shipping back to you, so we will need for you to contact us on a payment arrangement for shipping. I would recommend you get in touch with Ranger and make arrangements for looking at your radio.

Thank You,

Ron, Technician
