40 year aircraft maintenance 👨🏽🔧/🕵🏽♂️ & quality control inspector here, just to say how much I appreciate your elementary proof components, location’s, work your doing, the how to’s & what for’s,,, without getting to far over people’s heads. EXCELLENT! ,,, Your video editing to cut out all the dead air time some of these guy’s leave in,, is SO MUCH APPRECIATED ! Thank you. Looking forward to more mod/tear down videos and others. God bless you and yours. 🐎🐎🦅🪶🕊
Thanks for all your learning videos my friend. RUclips needs more techs our age and experience to provide a place for people who want to know to do things the RIGHT way. Not just hack it....
520 finals were put in mine(2),and the swr meter will not calibrate to set.Should I get the original tr 5 finals back in to correct the swr meter issue? Tks Mike
I haven’t tried to upgrade any finals in this yet, I know some radios you can up or lower a resistor value for this but I’ve not really looked into this. Stryker is being tight with schematics so it’s hard to figure out.
These radios are made in a Vietnam sweat shop. The QA/QC is non existent... The variable resistors are junk. And the crystals are very unstable. Setting the Bias is near impossible.. At the price point the worst radios on the market.. Galaxy Ranger live in the shadow of Anytone..The AT5555NII is by far the best 10 meter export radio. for less than half the money of these big box shit shows...
@@ELVISRN1 if your looking for a base 2995DXHP the AT5555NII is a mobile unit. Honestly if you’re looking for high power base the 2995DXHP is good if it’s aligned. The AT5555NII is a no brainer for the money and comes aligned.

I don't know who's cuter, you or that little resistor.
LMAO
And Ranger could not give a flyin bang bang about U notifying them about QC...They so much as stated that to One of the biggest shops out east....
You’re not wrong they seem to have a specific part of the market and as long as they are selling they seem non receptive to QC.
Did they add a 10 kc jump feature to the new 69?
No it’s not really needed

Tks,I'll let you know how I make out.
Also when you do instal finals you need to set the bias on them that may be your issue. Also check voltages.

YES! The AT5555NII is in my opinion the BEST mobile unit out today for the price. They hit a grandslam with this radio.
@@HAUNTED-HAM I really like old school big bases and I,m ready to pull the trigger on a Ranger RCI-2995dxHP or a Anytone 5555nII ,opinion please..tks

@@HAUNTED-HAM thanks,just got a 1 month old range 69 plus and going for the 5555nii soon. thanks!
Do you know anyone that has any Elkins linear for sale would love to find another 16 tube but I'll buy any and all thanks
No sorry I haven’t come by any in a while. I’m going to be near Elkins shop in a few weeks I will keep an eye out.
Never heard of a 16 tube Elkin.
@@HAUNTED-HAM are they still open and if so do you have a number or web site to get ahold of them thank you so much
@@UDX-21 ya the largest one Ray ever made was a 12 tube and they are hard to find in working condition.
