Yes, I have the Ranger RCI-5054DX-100 AM-FM-SSB-CW 6 Meter Mobile and LOVE IT! 
I use it as a Base Station for 6 Meter.

i used a road devil noise cancelling/power mic on the rci5054dx100, used only as a base. the signal reports were fantastic with it! with the stock mic.....yup, the reports said the audio was a bit weak. |

Just my opinion but having own one its a bit big for the car and thats where it would be at its best ... For someone wanting a 6 meter radio ONLY it's a good set.
I got rid of mine because it wound up being a " BACK UP " radio.
