Please be aware - this radio will slightly drift frequency as it heats up, during SSB operation you may notice the radio has changed it's operating frequency from it's standard cold state -- this is outside of our control. Also, small scratches on the faceplate and case may appear to have been "sharpied" with a marker -- THIS IS DONE BY RANGER

Ranger 2970N4 Reviews
Intuitive to Operate
The front panel is clearly labeled for radio functionality without having to cycle through submenus. Simple and straightforward design. The only drawback is there doesn't seem to be any programming software, at least that I can find. To use a paddle key you will need an electronic keyer connected between the radio CW input and your paddle key. For a straight key this is not necessary. Cosmetically, no Sharpie marks or other blemishes; perfect condition. KM7KK
