The RCI 2950DX and 2970DX are some bodacious class AB1 (ssb) mobiles. These radios have set the industry standard for many years for all mode chassis. However be advised there has been many versions of these units. The latest in this case is the greatest. Many shops are afraid of the new RCI 29XX series radios. Why? These units are SMT circuit boards. We personally love SMT circuit boards. Why any shop wouldn't is beyond us, except they may not have the technical ability to work on these units.
If your looking for a solid all mode performer look at no other chassis. These radios get 5 stars. They aren't the best choice if your looking for a good class c radio, am monster chassis however. What these radios do, they do well.
Large LCD display is easy to read. Variable RF power, Roger Beep, SWR meter, and more! The main reason to buy a 2950DX is because you want the best SSB mobile rig.
Mods people get done often on these if the SuperWackPack of course. We can get wonderful audio, while keeping ssb clean and clear. SuperRx for awesome receive. Add a custom built Splash Guard "junk filter" with SuperRx, and have the best ears money can buy. Open the clarifier, or even a ten turn clarifier can be added. (10 turns make tuning ssb wonderful, even when driving!) If echo/reverb is your thing many people take have us take the chn knob out, and add echo/reverb controls there (looks more factory) Can you still change channels? Of course! Theres up/down buttons on the radio, or we can even add up/down channel buttons to your mic.
These radios SuperWackPack talk great on all modes and are worth the money for sure. Buy your next RCI from us and see the difference! (the 2970DX is no longer available it has been replaced with the 2970N2, refurbs may become available on the 2970DX)
