My ranger (older) version is in the repair shop! It has a power supply problem I was told by the tech it may cost 300+ to repair it! Is it worth it? Should I add a few more dollars and by a new one from Copper or buy another radio 10 meter base like the 2995dx?

Well not dead but the repair shop says it my take 300+to repair! I don't think I am going to do that
Now if i don't repair it what radio should I buy? It must have output like the 2995dx and all the other features as the 2995dx
Help please?

radio dude, use an outside power sourse to power the radio.. use about a 35 amp power supply to were the inside power supply, supplys the radio.. it has been done alot, so as not to put that much cost into a radio that has had that problem in the past..
