I have just a question. You know curiosity killed the cat. I’m waiting for the 2995 DX from copper. My question is this, what is the wattage the radio is capable of doing after copper does the peak and tuning? And does the tuning improve the receive of the radio. I’m not sure what the tune consist of. Thanks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here are the areas that we align.

• RX (Receive) alignment per manufacturer specifications.
• TX (Transmit) alignment per manufacturer specifications.
• PLL Synthesizer alignment per manufacturer specifications.


As for what to expect on Power after the Conversion & Peak & Tune, Alagator (Jason) should be able to answer that for you if he see's this post as he just got his 2995DX maybe three weeks ago from Copper.



Hope this helps.

Thanks, Alligator. I’m anxiously awaiting my Ranger 2995 DX. When I ordered it copper thought that they would have the Rangers in before the end of March. But they dint come in with there last two shipments. It looks like I’m going to have to wait until the end of March. That’s when they said Ranger would have the 2995’s ready for coopers. I hope I don’t have to wait any longer then that. I’ve had bad disappointments with back order in the past. I bought the KLV 1000 P from copper before the radio, because the KLV Amp was in stock. All well if it doesn’t come in I can always go some ware else for the Ranger 2995 DX. Thanks for your post Alligator.

I must add my comments.
Why do I need to align my radio.
I could see why I would peak it but tune a brand new radio????
Why in the world would you want to tune a radio that has just come from the manufacturer??????
Does this mean that the radio is not done correctly from the factory?
I have purchased several new radios in the last few months & they work perfectly.
Powerful, clear open sound with great receive.
No mods at all & no "tuning".
Please explain this to me.

I will tell you my experience Audioman,

I have purchased a few brand new radios right out of the box. And have come across several of them that are off frequency etc. Example: My brand new factory sealed Galaxy DX 2547 was off freq and was reading 27.1865 on the meter. both internal and external. The voltage was not right either. It turns out that the factory where these rigs are built are often "Ball-Parking" these radios. Other people have seen this as well. Thus, I had to do a complete alignment on this radio from end to end. Everything in this radio was off in one way or the other. Most tech's out there will agree with me, that if you have the equpment to do it yourself, your ok. But most of the time it is far easier to have the tech do it for you as you purchase. I have always been put off by this myself. As my firm belief is that when you buy a brand new radio, this should have been done right the first time at the factory. No Exceptions. This is called Quality Control. Which, sad to say, most countries don't have the same standards that we do here. It's part of the out-sourcing problem we have in this country today. Cheaper labor = Cheaper quality workmanship. I also call it good PR, "Public Relations" if a company does it better than everybody else. This is just my 2 cents.

The other thing about this is that if it is an export radio, they are set for 10 meters when they come into the country. Once they are converted to 11 meters, even if they were correctly aligned for 10 meters, they will need to be done again for the new frequency range.
