I just received my 2980WX from Copper. Great looking rig, really talks well.

My receive is really weak. Units that were coming in S5 and S7 on my cherokee CBS 1000, do not even move the needle on the RCI. Did several tests and units that the Cherokee easily hears 20 miles away, plug in the Ranger, same antenna and they are gone! What do you guys suggest on this one, brand new rig??

Thank you, 392

Ship it back as faulty. It should have better Rx than that.

237, Will Copper take it back or will they have me send it to Ranger? Cannot do anything until next week anyway.

To my knowledge Copper would take it back, but maybe 833 or teh Forum master will chime in and let you know.

237, GOD gave every person a freewill. If a person had decided to be an athiest it is that person's choice. GOD does not make a person to be an athiest that is against his word. I do not question GOD"S wisdom but I do question man's.
