Made in Malaysia with a Ranger part number on the board. It appears that Ranger reverse engineered the Qixiang radio like they copied the Uniden radio back in the day... Maybe we will see the Galaxy version of the Stryker 955 someday...
Same thing as the Stryker SR447HPC2, same modification for punching up the AM audio as this one around the 7:55 point. Looks like Superstar is finally getting smart and moving away from quality-control-issue-plagued RCI as their manufacturing source. Might actually start selling Superstar again if they move away from RCI completely! Good show, Superstar!!
Yea inside and outside resembles the stryker 447hpc2 lol and power cord is exactly the same also. Bet itll be a 100watts is heavy duty 2pin power cord and tune, nice
BEEN WAITING SEVERAL YEARS WHILE I STUDIED YOU AND YOUR STYLE WHILE I AM A SUBSCRIBER . WELL THIS RADIO MIGHT BE THE ONE FOR YOU TO PERFORM YOUR BEST FOR ME TO HAVE THE BEST . BE SAFE GOD BLESS I DIG RADIO GARAGE .🎉❤
Definitely a RCI serial-number sticker visible on the outside of the carton. That leading character in the serial code is the letter "M". Indicates RCI's factory in Melaka, Malaysia. "V" would indicate Vietnam, and "T" Taiwan.
I would greatly like to see a video of this radio after you have gone through it front to back and made all adjustments for optimal performance, including the receive.
A direct rip-off of the Stryker 447HPC2. And putting the "RT" fets in is exactly what we expected, off the self rebadged mosfets... to make you go through Ranger or a dealer to get them when they pop.
Nice little radio one coil looked a suspect from the factory that may clean it up a touch more even before the tune The best that I can remember the resistor at the am mod is zero value so a good alignment is needed because it can get dirty fast with a sorry tune
Just added it to the website

Looks identical to the Stryker 447. Even the back looks to be identical.
100 watts and 200% modulation out of the box? I like it!

I love my old school 497 HPC w/the 2290 Toshiba. But I will be ordering 1 of these for sure
Looks the same to me... im only a minute into the video
@@86jekstrom Its the same board as the Stryker SR447HPC2.
Rebadged 447 with a ugly meter.

It has my attention, but I will wait for the 955 copy with SSB and see how it compares with the Strykers. 73sss.
Just need to do your magic!
I smell trouble ahead for Ranger...
Might as well call it the Ranger 447hpc
Except that RCI wasn't anywhere near it as far as building it goes, lol! Thank goodness!!!
Subbed. I want one of these
Love it
Oooooo😮... I like😎👍
Black chrome. Neat looking radio. Needs SSB. ✌✌

It might be a black chrome
I’m very interested on getting one, I like the fact that it’s got what I need in a not so large chassis.

Nice I like it
How well does it hear?
That's a great mike. Weather it's on the RCI, Galaxy or Super Star. Fits great in the hand and real laud.the 2995dx should come with it.
The color Nickel.
Hi Matt,,do you still repair radios ? I've got a Northstar 4000 that needs help..
Loud as hell
It's a burnt chrome process what they call black chrome but they might have just burnt it a little less than black
What's the price?

Let's GO!!!
Thaaaaaats right!!
Smoked chrome sir
I mis the USA made stuff, I do not like Chinese gutter oil radio`s
Smoked chrome
Gunmetal
That meter is ugly as hell
To each their own!! I 🩶 it 😁
There is no such thing as 200% modulation anything over 100% is distortion period.
Am and FM and no ssb for 10 meter? No way
Dude. Just take a few more seconds and make a professional grade video.
Or let him do his thing and quit complaining! Matt does great work and doesn't need u to be his director! 😂
