the 2960 is not an RCI product. This model was manufactured by Ranger as a special private label radio that accidentally had the RCI name printed on the radio. This proved to be rather confusing within the market place to customers. To lessen the confusion and clear up that area, RCI acquired the remaining 2960F radios (not the 2960's) and marketed them on a limited availability basis, with full warranty from Ranger. The radios were functionally & electronically identical to the TR-6900FJB ( replaced by the RCI-6900 Series ) with the case appearance similar to the TR-296F.

This is not true. The 2960 was a promo radio and they only built about 200 for a few select dealers. The "mistake" you're talking about is from Mirage.. The Mirage was supposed to be a Mirage 2950 and they mistakenly put the RCI-2950 on it instead. The 2960 IS an RCI-2960 and is very nice talking radio.
