If you're on here commenting "where can I buy one, how much, etc". I'm going to ignore you. All the information needed to answer that is in the video and I've even pinned a purchase link in the comments
I used to run a 25 watt Galaxy Saturn with a Texas Star 667V. I loved the radio but they were quirky back then. I did a lot of mods to it to improve the receive and AM TX audio. I like the idea of this radio going from 12 thru 10 meters. When i had just my Tech license I was limited to 10m voice. It was nice to have a 11 meter station too to fill in the gap. Ham radios are great on 11m for SSB but they dont have good AM audio.
I'm currently looking at several different radios but I've never owned any that have SMT. From what little I heard of the AM receive on that radio seemed to have a fairly low noise floor. I no longer own a Cobra 2K but I've had a few and I must say their receive when working properly definitely spoiled me. Almost no white noise at all. I can say the same about the old DAK 9's and 10's as well. One of the main reasons I didn't like some of the first SMT radios when they first came out years ago was because their receive to me was horrible. Sounded more like being in FM mode on AM. I hope that these manufacturers are finally getting these radios refined to the point that the recieve section is quieter. Thanks Rooster for this video and anyone else feel free to chime in with their own opinions or experiences.
I'm glad I waited, This is what I want. Why does nobody use swr for tuning, high power maybe $900 radio, but I like other meters too, just never seen done,
I agree but I've heard several HF rigs that sound horrible on AM in the 11 meter band. I think some rigs are intentionally built that way so you won't attempt using them for a CB transceiver. Correct me if I'm missing it somewhere.
@@PhoenixRising251 Sure. I admit 11m AM is not a consideration for me. No local activity at all. Shit... you can buy a yaesu 710 or 7300 from icom for 50 bucks more than this ranger. Any of those make this look like a toy in almost every respect... except AM performance ( don't have any reason to doubt roosters opinion here)
@@randyk8919 What I find hard to believe is how pricey radios like used RCI's are going for: just nuts when you can buy a 7300 for just a tad bit more. Makes perfect sense.
I’d still rather have a stonewall Jackson,& a Saturn connex good lookin base though to high for me I’ll just keep put-Putin along and make sue with what I got

Sweet base unit right there!!!
Just love how they still using the old Galaxy Saturn base radio cases.
Nice one!
Very nice radio 🎅🏻
does this new 2995 come with the mike with the up & down buttons or SRA-198 or the Galaxy stock mike ?

Meter on radio I mean
How much does one cost and how can I buy one
I did hear u say u need a 35 W power supply.the description on the radio says AC ready does it work on both AC and DC? Sorry if its a stupid question.
Don't recall saying anything about needing a power supply
Little more information about this including price complete. Rainmaker here Hudson Valley NY 😀 waving
Price is on the website

I wish it had the echo switch. Unless the echo is still in and they just dont have a switch.
I use a general stonewall jackson. I assume this has more power than that?
2995 don't have echo, just like a 2950/2970
@@Rooster_Radio so its basically a "plug into the wall" version of the 2970 n2 (or n4?)
What happened to the five watt maximum on citizen band
Do you always ask stupid questions or is this an isolated incident? Do you even talk on CB? I already know the answer.
I just can’t imagine why you’d buy something like this.
You can buy a nice HF rig for the same money or just there abouts.
This radio will outperform an HF rig 2-1 on AM
@@Rooster_Radio Oh, OK. Fair point I hadn't thought about. Little use to me, but may be important to some.

waitn on mine for the collection
Only difference is the RT1 MOSFETs they rock
The amp section uses RT5’s.
@@theyodaman82 though they said RT1 must be my eyes
@@ironhead320must be
It's also got a new board
Does this have echo built in?
No

price is too much
For you
cheap price
