The Toughest 10 meter Rig Going
The Owner of SLC Distributing has used the 100 Watt Version of this Radio in his 1993 Chevy Diesel Pickup in the woods in Northwest Montana on Logging Roads, Winter and Summer for OVER EIGHT YEARS WITHOUT ANY HINT OF ANY PROBLEMS. These Roads are rough and this radio takes a beating and keeps on working.


Ranger Communications once again sets the performance and reliability standard for entry level amateur mobile transceivers with the latest generation of our popular RCI-2950/70 series of cost effective, multi mode, high performance transceivers.

Now you can upgrade your mobile Ham capabilities with a radio that is rich in features and reasonable in cost. The new DX models have retained the operating features of its popular predecessors, including programmable repeater offset and capabilities for a CTCSS tone option — great for increasing repeater activity on 10 meters — and receiver scanning for quick search of active frequencies. The units offer three methods of frequency selection, non-volatile memory to store and scan up to ten favorite frequencies, and front panel frequency selector lockout.
In addition, the DX Series offers an impressive array of design and performance improvements:

ICOM T7H Sport Dual Band

6 W (typical) power amplifier circuit
TX 144-148 430-450     RX 118-174 400-470

A powerful 6 W (typical) power amplifier circuit provides superior transmit output on both the VHF and UHF bands when 13.5 V DC is supplied. When the BP-173 is connected, the IC-T7H provides 5 W (typical) of output. In addition, a full 500 mW (typical) of AF is output from the transceiver's speaker - audio that's easy to copy even in noisy environments.

Meets strict MIL standards, yet is compact
The IC-T7H is durably constructed for reliable operation you can count on in the most demanding environments. In fact, it meets MIL-STD requirements and strict environmental standards for shock and vibration (MIL 810C, D, E). And its compact dimensions of 57(W) × 122(H) × 29(D) mm* mean you can comfortably carry it around in a small bag or even your shirt pocket! *21/4 (W) × 413/16 (H) × 11/8 (D) in.

Simple operation
A simple band switching system, single push action and thumb-touch lock switches make operation straight-forward and convenient__even for beginners. And, priority watch allows you to monitor a specified frequency: you can monitor a frequency on the same band or a different band, similar to dualwatch on other transceivers.

Built-in tone squelch system
A separate CTCSS tone encoder and CTCSS tone encoder/decoder are standard and provide 50 independently programmable tone frequencies (38 standard EIA tones and 12 others for even quieter standby) for repeater and tone squelch use, respectively. In addition, tone scan and pocket beep functions are available. The tone scan function allows you to easily find the subaudible tone needed to access a repeater or to decode a tone squelch signal; the pocket beep function acts like a 'common pager' and alerts you when a matched CTCSS tone frequency is received.
With Flexible Antenna, belt clip and wrist strap.
