I noticed in the radio sales section here it says the manufacturer, Ranger, has discontinued 2950's and 2970's. I'm shocked, never met an owner that didn't love theirs. Anyone know why?

Perhaps the new and improved "DX" versions replaced them?

When you go to 10 meter radios it says Ranger discontinued those two! Am I doing something wrong?

--Hi. I think you are looking at the 2980 below it. That is the one that is discontinued. (assuming you are looking at this page http://www.copperelectronics.com/cgi-bin/checkitout/checkitout.cgi?catalogSTORE:CKIE:CATNEXT40:50:10++RADIOS-10%20METER)
