Ranger Mirage MX36HP3 – High Power 10-Meter Radio in a Cobra-29-Size Chassis. The MX36HP3 delivers big power in a compact footprint, making it one of the few high-performance 10-meter radios that fits directly into dash or overhead Cobra-29 slots. Truckers love it because it installs cleanly without cutting, and hobbyists love it because it punches far above its size. If you want to use it as a CB, please see the FAQs below. Cobra 29 Size Chassis – fits factory dash and overhead compartments. Ranger-Built Reliability – stable, consistent output and rugged internals. Talkback + Adjustable Controls – easy to fine-tune your audio. Bright, Clear Display – visible day or night. Semi-truck overhead console installs. Drivers upgrading from a Cobra 29 to a more powerful 10-meter rig. Ham operators wanting a compact, punchy mobile radio. ? What’s Included. Ranger Mirage MX36HP3 Radio. Mounting bracket + hardware. ? Why This Model Stands Out. One of the few high-power 10-meter radios that fits Cobra-29 openings. Loud, punchy audio that cuts through engine and road noise. Clean, simple controls – no complicated menus. Proven Ranger performance and durability. The Ranger Mirage MX36HP3 10 Meter Radio is a classic Cobra 29 size ham radio transceiver that operates within the 10 Meter frequency range of 28 to 29 MHz. With the trusted brand of Ranger, this radio is designed for reliable communication in the hobby of ham and amateur radio. Variable RF Power Control. S/RF/SWR Front Panel Meter. 4 Pin Front Mic. Original Mirage Receive Circuit. Variable Talk Back & Echo. Cool Blue LED Channel Display. SRA-198 Noise Canceling Mic Included. What’s in the box. Radio, Microphone, Power cord, 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.
