Ranger 2990 help!!!

#62003

Post by The13Bats »

On the Ranger 2990,
So here goes idiots questions for the radio. :lol:

It has a 6 digit freq counter how does one read that, all my old radios only had 5 digits, and freqs seem to be listed in books as 5 digits :(

Is there a way for it to display CB Channels like some radios that do it right beside the freq readout, or is it just time to learn freq's? :shock:

Does the 2990 have Echo? :(

Is there an place I can download a manual online, the Ranger site doesn't seem to have the 2990 listed,

Many thanks
Cheers,
P.

I believe the 2990 has a "LOCK" button push that and that should lock in your basic forty. I have wanted that radio for a while.

push the man button that will take you to 1-40. on the freq counter the last # should be a 0 on am. as far as echo, i don't remember. i don't think so. hope this helps.

Processor could be speech processor, which is for shooting skip on ssb. It basically makes your voice easier to understand.
