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.

I have a 2970, it has push pull output to 150W, for the rest freq range is the
same as 2950, best one I ever had, lots of DX.
Very stable too.
The 2970 has a big heatsink on the bottom side.
Have not seen people with one for sale here, all keepers :-)
I like the push buttons.
