Top 20 Ranger RCI-2995DX Base Scanner Questions & Answers

Check the fuse. Blowing a power supply does not happen. Blowing a fuse often does. If the power supply truly went out, it is too small in amperage. More information on the power supply may help.

Have you checked the aerial? (antenna) often a power loss is due to problems in the plugs cables etc or high swr.

Generally, high SWR relates to an antenna problem. It could be as simple as the coax connector isn't tight enough. You could have damage to the coax cable, or the antenna may be damaged due to wind, or water in it. If you have access to an antenna analyzer, it will help you troubleshoot your antenna and coax, if not, start with a thorough visual inspection, looking for damage, cracking, or water infiltration.

no you don't

Hi, my name is John. Welcome to FixYa. Turn your MICGAIN down a little, or if you have a modulating mic, turn it down. Thanks for choosing FixYa...John

You put it on the CPU board, its called a (E-CHIP) if yours did not come with one, may be hard to find...You have to have a good steady soldering hand to do it. Have not done any of these, but did a few 2900 DX. ... hope this was helpful...

is it doing it when the radio has been on for awhile or when the radio is first turned on ????

In most cases I have been able to replace a capacitor associated with the power supply, it fails when the voltage is pulled down during transmit. You're more than welcome to ship it in here.

What have you done so far to troubleshoot?

First do a visual inspection - pay particular attention to the capacitors.

Let me know,
Thanks!
