Help! RCI 2950 Problems.
Ron Pollock Ont. Canada.
Hello I have one of the old 2950s. Occasionaly when I turn it on
,there is no recieve or transmit. I have to turn it off and on several times
and then it is okay. It was off for a couple of months and when I turned it on
again, there was no rx or tx. This time no matter what I do ,it will not come
back.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Ron.

Now there is a thoughtful, helpful response.
Anyway, if I were you, Ron, I would send it to Ranger in San Diego. I know
that sometimes removing or replacing the lithium battery will solve some
problems, but it is not something I personally would try to do. I had one
2950 about 5 years ago that was trouble-free for 3 years as a base
station, and I worked the world with it then sold it for $200. Bought a
new one about a year ago and after 6 months it died. I paid $80 including
shipping for the repair. It is working great again, and the techs tuned it
up a little, too. I think they are great as base stations, but I've heard
lots of people say that they don't hold up to rough treatment on the
road. Good Luck.

The solution to the first problem is somewhat
involved, but I'll give it to you anyway. You can
decide for yourself if you want to tackle it or not.
1. Find C-107. It's located just to the left
of L-17. It might be buried in wax. It's a .001uf
ceramic disc capacitor. You need to change it to a
100pf NPO type ceramic disc capacitor.
2. Readjust the VCO. Set the radio 28.000 MHZ,
in the FM mode. Attach the positive lead of a digital
voltmeter to J-13, (located between L-46 and L-11), and
the negative lead to any convenient board ground. With
the radio on and set to receive, adjust L-17 to get a
reading of 1.9 VDC on the meter.
This procedure usually solves the first problem
mentioned. On newer versions of the 2950 this change is
already made. As for it not coming back at all, I can
only suggest resetting the CPU. If that doesn't work,
it'll need to go to Ranger for more extensive repair.
If resetting the CPU brings it back, perform the mod
I just outlined, and it should be alright.
Good luck...BILL

I'd suspect the battery backup has gone to it's reward, you'll need a new
lithium battery - or just remove the battery and it's holder and replace
it with a battery case that can hold 2AA or 2AAA type betteries, follow
polarity and insert fresh batteries in the holder. Use dual sided tape to
place the holder on the side of the chassis and the wires go to the
lithiium battery leads. Power up and re-program the unit - and it should
be ok.
The CPU registers in those things require a small voltage still be there
to keep the static memory area latched properly when it shuts down. This
could be the problem - and trying a fresh battery may help. There are
other problems that will drain the battery faster, and you may need to
check into this after putting in a fresh one. The power the CPU is
supposed to consume to keep this register area alive is in the Micro-watts
and the battery should supply this for a long time - if it goes flat
within a month - get the radio repaired. The CPU may have a problem that
needs replacement.
Since lithium batteries do cost more, and the radios' holder for it may
require you to unsolder it and replace it with a duplicate unit - of the
exact type. They're rated at 3.6 volts of potential. 2 AAA will supply
enough to do the same, it's just easier to find at a local store, and last
about the same amount of time - about 2-3 years of normal use.
Resetting the CPU drains the battery - actually shorts it out to reset the
latches. If the CPU board has a reset swtich - you may want to remove it,
it can create more problems than it's worth.

Well everyone seem's to have a opinion,and an answer!!!
I have to agree that I have had my Ranger on my dashboard (velcro down to
the dash) for years and have had no problem,except with no channel
rejection. I had that fixed and for the past five years had no problem.
I have gone off roading,leave it on the dash all day in 80 to one
hundred degree heat,been to the snow with it without any problems at all.
I also owned a 2510 and do agree that they are a great radio,especially
good radio at driving a linear,do to the fact they dont over modulate to
to overdrive the linear like other radio's do.
As far as fixing it,well all I can say is take it to a qualified Tech,
so if he screw's it up you have some sort of recourse IE:small claims,BB
and such. So check around your local area and find someone who everyone
reccomends. Unless you feel like a Tech and don't care if what your
trying at home FRY'S your rig,remember it just free info.

I'm sorry but Id have to agree with him. RCI's are really $250 radios- you pay
$200 for the base radios and then the $50 is for the repairs that you will need
to keep the radio in operation. This is no bullshit because I have it
documented 3 times with three different owners of 2950s. The new-new ones seem
to be a little better because they got rid of that annoying battery.

Wow!!!
I didn't know RCI was Junk. I own 3 RCI's. A 2950,2970&2990. One is
even a refurbished radio. Don't tell my tech!!!!. He's the one that got me
started on them.I understand the best thing about the RCI's is that they
have Track Tuning. After my tech told me what it was & the price you get
one for. I think it's a nice radio. My batterys haven't been a problem.
About every 2 years I have to change them. But, I think that is a trade off
to have the features that the radio's have. How many Cobra's, Uniden's,
Midland's or Radio Shack's have Track Tunning, Memorys, Scan, & are easy to
Modify,all for around two hundred dollars. All radio's are not with out
there problems. My father used to say,"If you took all the good things from
Ford, Chevy,& Dodge & put them together you would have one hell of a
truck." I think the same can apply here. So if you don't like RCI's, just
keep buying your radio's because of the name on it. I'll just keep my RCI's
thank you...

This track tuning brings up facts about the design of RCI radios.
Track tuning has been with us for at least twenty years. Adjusting the
voltage of
varactor diodes on the receive and transmit circuits keeps it them tuned.
Microcontrollers made it easier to do. Yet the 10 meter band is only 1.7
mHz
wide and most front ends can handle most of that. Why would they need to
automatically tune the circuits? For the discerning ham operator? Nope for
the CB
operator. Track tuning was mandatory for a radio designed to cover 10 mHz.
The 2950 PLL can tune almost 10 mHz. CB operators would never have
accepted the RCI stuff without a TRACK TUNING to keep the receiver hot. I
wonder if the
folks at RCI considered black market CB sales first or after they latched
on
to the radio manufacturer of those boards.
No I don't like the RCI!
Receiver audio quality is lousy.

Only problem with your comparison is...all the other radios you mentioned
are JUNK also!
But...for what they cost,what else would you expect?

Hey K04QC, that Call sign is not even real. Your a fake and phony
and a liar!!!Any person that is fool enough to use their multiband
$1000.00+ HF rig for a CB is the real fool! Those rigs that were
mentioned are just fine as Modified CB rigs. Just because you think you
have a ham license doesnt make you any smarter than those who dont. What
kind of a fool pays over a thousand dollars for an HF rig and uses it on
the CB? Thats the real question here.
I'm an Extra CLass license holder AA6.. but by no means will I put
down a CB'r for only having a 10 meter rig.
Smarter is a man who spends a few hundred dollars on a nice 10 meter
rig then the idiot who spends thousands on the same performance. But the
way, Ten Tec is the shit radio of the bunch. Outdated and over priced and
boring as hell to look at. 1960's technology in the 1990's.
By the way, I'd advise you to quite trying to bootleg a phony Ham Call
sign.... K04qC does not exist as of Last friday!!!!

The only prob with the ones mentioned (yeasu <sp>, icom, etc) is that they
are either not avail. or practical for 11 M use. I do like the RCI's and

anyone have info on CC other than this new AR 2000?

Perhaps you should try again. Since you mentioned it, I gave
it a try, and discovered that it was perfectly valid.
Perhaps before you broadcast that folks are full of it, you
should be a bit more careful about your facts.

srbwl...@aol.com
Why would anyone buy a $1000+ Kenwood or Icom for use on 11 meters?
They may very well be far superior electronic transceivers to the RCI or
Uniden, but they don't sound as good on AM xmit, which is what is
predominantly used in 11 meters. For CB use, I'd take a RCI 2950 any day
to an amerature rig that costs from 4 to 10 times as much.
As for coming to this message board for a laugh, you must be quite a
pompous and uncaring individual not to respect someone for their personal
choice of hobby. I have heard time and again, ameratures like yourself who
voice this same opinion of yours on the CB band. All I can say is these
ones that do this must have sad lives and severe inferiority complexes to
chastise <sp> someone for not having "their" choice of hobby.

I am a real Ham, extra class, and I can tell you that RCI radios are
junk. They experience more problems than any other type of radio I
have worked on. I might add that I live in central Alaska, where the
temperature often reaches 40 to 50 below, even colder. We are a
testing ground for equipment. These experiences have shown under
these conditions that RCI has been a poor performer. They usually
won't even operate at 20 below. Yoiu want to know what works best
here? Cobra's. Every model tested . The RCI radios drop like flies
here in Alaska.

Well I'm just guessing that 90% of us citizens of the USA dont live
in your polar region. Yeah the 2950 has its drawbacks. When its cold
the roger beeps dont work, some people call this a blessing! As for the
Cobra, great radio & if you have the extra $100 or so to get it modified
you can go to MAYBE a quarter of the freq's the 2950 covers. Sorry, my
frozen pal to the North I will stick with my overrated,underperforming
2950.

I agree, the 2950 is NOT a bad radio. If you don't
believe me, just wait until my challenge is matched.
The key to wiring the 2950 is to wire it in before
the 12/24 switch. Do that and you'll have as hot a radio
as is possible on the road today.
If you don't agree; simply e-mail me with your concerns,
and we'll do what we can to work them out....BILL

ultimately keep putting you radiogod foot in your mouth each and every
time. Do youself a favor and everyone else as a matter of fact and
regroup on some of your B.S. about what ham radio vs. c.b. radio is all
about.After all a good ham operator is suppose to promote good radio
ethic's about this hobby on as well off the air.You sir on the other
hand seem to have other moral values then the aforementioned,sorry I am
also a baseball umpire and I call them like I see them!
Have a nice day.

->wre do you get off trying to push yourself as a professional radio
->operator. Just by reading some of the garbage you put on this newsgroup
->raises some question of your integurity about any subject that deals
Just by reading some of the garbage he posts in this newsgroup raises some
question as to his mentality level.
He reminds me of some of the 12 year old twits I used to have to deal with back
in the 1200 baud BBS days..

So who needs a LOUD radio?...You'r probably only X mitting on Ch19 anyway
and need that BIG sound. Why AM'ers even bother buying 10m rigs is beyond
me.
RCI does make a bad(in the worst sense)radio.

> Well here we go again, sounds like another "Ham" operator that's MAD
that a CB'er can buy a 10 meter radio. So he tries to trash a line of
radios in the hope that he or she can stop a CB'er from buying a 10 meter
radio. I started this thread in the hopes that some people would look at
the RCI radio's with an open mind, instead of corrupting others with a
personal vendetta brought on by the war between "Hams" versus CB'ers or
just plain frustration that the FCC can't or won't stop the CB'er from
buying a radio of this type. I've owned many different types of radios & I
haven't seen one almighty bulletproof radio type with no failures yet. This
includes Kenwood, Yeasu, & Icom. What, What, Ok, I have to get off the soap
box again...
