The Ranger II added Six meters in place of Eleven. It was introduced at

the time, Six meter AM was very popular, since technicians had full
privileges on the band, so six meters was a good "mid life kicker" and
the Ranger II was produced for several more years.

I stand corrected: according to http://www.radioing.com/museum/tx4.html,
the Ranger II was made from 1961 to 1965. I didn't know the class D
citizen's band was that old.

The Citizen Radio Service began in 1947, and the first Class D Citizen
Band licenses were issued on September 11, 1958. Not sure when they
were discontinued.
