 I love Ranger!  I had a few of the 2950/70 variations, and Ranger was
 my favorite back before I discovered mainstream Ham gear.  Hopefully,
 you're working toward getting that type of equipment! :-)  I still
 have a soft spot for Ranger, and browse their catalog from time to
 time.

I have a Ranger 2950 which goes from 26 to 32MHz. Its excellent in the fact
that if theres not a lot of DX or local stations on i can scoot upto 31MHz
and evesdrop on the cordless phones 

)..You cant do that on a cobra or
Lincoln... well not without some severe adapting anyhows... a very
underrated rig in my opinion as they never fetch as much as Lincolns on eBay
but have a much better coverage.
