Looking for opinions
I have an opportunity to get a Ranger AR3500 100 watt model in great shape plus a Magnum by Palomar Amp, just trying to get some feedback to see if it would be a good investment. Person is asking for $400. I already have a Ranger AR3500 and they are pretty decent radios. Not sure about the Palomar. It is supposed to do about 300-500.

Re: Looking for opinions
Well...If the radio does 100 watts by itself and the amp is a 200-500w, the radio is going to be too much for that amp...
Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Jesse,
I agree, I have another radio that I can use that amp with. I am just trying to get feed back on the price that is being asked for both items.

Re: Looking for opinions
A local has been playing with one Ranger AR-3500 by Clear Channel Corporation for a couple days, it really needs a good tech to realign it. First, they said it is a 100 watt radio but I don't see it doing that with the finals (2166 driving 2x 2312's) that they have in them, 30/35 max. The amp is a good model Palomar, has a good delay for SSB, if it isn't over driven sounds good on both AM and SSB. Price wise it depends on their shape, appearance, etc. For that price it is a matter of "want" or "need".
