The Ranger RCI-39VHP PLUS 60+ Watt 320 Channel 10-Meter Radio is a high-quality ham radio transceiver. Ranger states the output wattage as “60+” and you will find this same model offered with claims of 80 or 90 watts; there is no difference, the 90W figure comes from bench testing actual units with the Bird instrumentation. If you want to use it as a CB, please see the FAQs below. The RCI-39VHP PLUS is identical to the RCI-39VHP, except. The channel display, RF meter, and RX/TX light are now white. Face Bezel is now black. It has 2 extra bands of 40 channels. This radio has the same form factor as the “29”, so it fits any truck. The Ranger RCI-39VHP-PLUS delivers. Up to 90 watts PeP output. Giving long-haul drivers the power and clarity they need for dependable communication on the road. Designed to fit in most truck radio slots (Cobra 29-size footprint), it packs serious performance into a compact chassis. Plus it has 320 channels. This updated model includes the famous Ranger chrome noise-canceling microphone, built-in echo, talkback, and a full SWR meter-everything operators need for clean, powerful, long-range transmission. Proudly made in the United States, this Ranger RCI-39VHP model is compatible with universal brands, making it a versatile option for any ham radio user. Up to 90 Watts PeP Output for long-distance performance. Compact Cobra-29-size chassis fits most Freightliner, Kenworth, Peterbilt & Volvo trucks. Built-in Echo & Variable Talkback for clear, customized audio. Auto-calibrating SWR meter -just flip the switch to check SWR. Blue LED display and dark chrome bezel for a modern, premium look. Heavy-duty heatsink for stable high-power operation. Clarifier, RF Power, Mic Gain controls for fine-tuned performance. RF Output: Up to 90W PeP (some retailers report 80-100W depending on measurement method). Total Length w/ Heatsink & Knobs: 11.25. Power Draw: 8A, Fuse: 10A. Frequency Range: 28.000-29.699 MHz (10-meter amateur band). ? Why Truckers Love This Radio. Fits where big radios don’t -perfect for modern truck dashboards. Strong, clear audio thanks to noise-canceling mic + built-in filtering. High-power output means better reach in rural or congested areas. Simple front-panel controls -easy to adjust while driving.

Mounting Bracket with Hardware. Is this a CB? No, it is a 10 meter radio. The Citizens Band is limited to 4 watts and operates on the 11 meter band per FCC regulations. If you see “10 meter radio” on a listing, it is not a CB. Is it peaked and tuned? All ham radios are “peaked” by the qualified engineers who design them. A radio hack without an engineering degree and radio design experience cannot improve on this, though they can alter the radio for higher output wattage. But this overdrives the transistors, causing distortion and overheating. Not a good thing to do. There is no additional tuning required. Why the ALL CAPS for mosfet? Because MOSFET is an acronym, and in English acronyms are spelled in all caps. MOSFET stands for Metal Oxide Field Effect Transistor. This is not a new technology. It has evolved and improved over time. Some radio buyers obsess over what kind of transistor is used in the finals, based on something they read or their buddy told them. MOSFET isn’t the only way to achieve the design engineers’ goals, but this technology is often chosen. We get this question quite a bit. It is illegal to sell a converted radio, and it also violates the TOS of any online marketplace to do so. If the listing says 10 meter and it says NEW condition, then it has not been converted. And the title would also need to say 11 meter not 10 meter. We hope that helps you get around the confusion this issue causes.
