NEW! SuperStar SS158FB4! Limited stock
Product Description
LesComm Enhancements Included.One of the prettiest radios Ranger ever made. The SS-158FB4 is a reliable 10 meter AM-FM-SSB-CW mobile radio. With 175 watts peak AM, 100 watts RMS FM-CW, 400 watts PEP SSB, it provides high performance along with features such as a 6-digit frequency counter, Mic/RF gain, and echo.
The SS-158FB4 has dual echo control and talk back switch along with a blue frequency counter, channel display and meter. Designed for easy mobile operation, an affordable price tag, the SS-158FB4 will answer your needs for SSB mobile operation.
This radio can be upgraded using 4 New HG2879's or 4 Chinese Toshiba 2SC2879 transistors in place of the DEI 2879's (Black Top) transistors these radios come with, producing 900 watts+ PEP. The radio produced almost 1000 watts peak on a 100 amp power supply at 15 volts DC using the Chinese Toshiba 2879's. I recommend a 100+ amp power supply and a 4AWG power wire upgrade to power the radio with these. You should then see it's full potential! Estimated 900 watts+ peak with the HG2879's. And 1000+ with the Chinese Toshiba's. Both the amp board and the transistors are costly and are getting very hard to find. Don't miss out! Get yours now!
Note; Ranger has discontinued manufacture of the 4 Bi-Polar amp radio's. What's in the supply line now is all there is.

Deluxe Clarifier. +5 / -5. BLUE DISPLAY. Better Dual finals. RX/NB/AGC Schottky diode upgrade. Blue/Red TX/RX LED. Receive circuit upgrade. Cuts down white noise. Continuous channels, no skips using the +10 switch. The radio has been tuned and aligned by a professional with the proper equipment. All you have to do is hook it up and start talking! Receive circuit improved to lower noise floor which lessens white noise. This improves the signal to noise ratio of the receiver.
After tune, much better than the stock RCI69FFB4! And with the lower white noise, better signal to noise ratio than all of the other stock SSB radio's! Comes with stock Mic, New Heavy Duty Power cord, and bracket. Frequency counter built in and blue color.
Tested before it ships so you know it'll work when you get it! Visit LestersCustomTrkShp on youtube!

 Product Description The LesComm LCSP1v2 Speech Processor was designed to fill a void that was left by another manufacturer for a performance enhancement for CB and 10 meter radios.
Designed for AM/FM & SSB. It is an audio (speech) processor that delivers a higher average of modulation. It brings lower levels up to almost their maximum output with almost no distortion. Installs in the Mic input circuit. Requires an 8 Volt source from the radio. Can be switched on and off.*Not sold separately. ***** $179.99 |  Product Description Used to replace the small case 2SB817, B827, + others, PNP AM regulator transistors with a much larger case transistor for better heat dissipation.$70.00 |
 Product Description FINALLY BACK IN STOCK!!(Price includes installation.) Product Description Does the regulator in your radio run hot? Excessive heat from a transistor means the part is undersized for the circuit or that the circuit itself is not very efficient. Changing the radio’s modulation circuit is impossible. But the solution for this problem is the Palomar MAX-MOD Transistor. Palomar is a famous old CB brand name from the USA. The name is owned and used now by EKL Components, the mother company also for Magnum Radio’s and RF Limited Accesories. New in the Palomar program is the MAX-MOD, a special PNP transistor. The MAX-MOD is a replacement and upgrade PNP transistor for the modulation circuit in most radio’s. The MAX-MOD replaces the common 2SB and TIP parts. The MAX-MOD works very well in 10M radio’s, including Stryker, Anytone, Galaxy and President models. The MAX-MOD will give the RF section the current it needs and will increase the peak power by and average of 10% or more. The MAX-MOD has the same lead spacing as the smaller transistors it replaces, making soldering very easy. The MAX-MOD uses a huge TO-3PL package for improved heat dissipation. FESATURES OF PALOMAR MAX-MOD TRANSISTOR: • High Current / High Power PNP Power Transistor (AM Regulator) • Replaces & Upgrades TIP32 & 36, 2SB688, 2SB754, 2SB817, 2SB827 and other AM Regulator Transistors in CB and Amateur Radios • Supplies Necessary Current Levels for Maximum Modulation • Most Radios See a 10% Increase in Peak Power Levels • Runs 40%* Cooler than Stock Regulators • Massive TO-3PL Package for Improved Heat Dissipation • Comes with Mica Insulator ***** $74.99 |  Product Description The Astatic Classic noise cancelling External CB Speaker comes complete with a mounting bracket and 10' cord with a 3.5m mini plug.- Noise Canceling External CB Speaker - Noise Canceling Technology - 10 Watts Power Rating - 8 Ohms Impedance - 10' Power Cord with 3.5mm Mini Plug ***** $26.99 |

I BELIEVE IN QUALITY BEFORE QUANTITY! (And from the sales I'm receiving, so do you!)
SO IF YOU'RE IMPATIENT, DO NOT ORDER FROM ME!! Let me repeat that, IF YOU'RE IMPATIENT, DO NOT ORDER FROM ME!! I SIMPLY REFUSE TO RUSH MY BUILDS.
Each radio goes through 24 hours minimum of burn-in testing when it's finished. IT WILL BE RIGHT WHEN IT LEAVES MY SHOP!
Normal turn around times;
"Major Custom radio's" 280 to 320 business days.
"Custom/Modified radio's" 45 to 60 business days depending on model.
"Stock/No option radios" are usually 1 to 2 weeks.
Depending on the difficulty of your build or the builds in front of it, this time could be longer.
"Major Custom" in this case means that you have added an option that requires a significant modification(s) to the stock radio that takes more than 3 hours to install. Such as the SP-1a, AD-203, upgrading amp deck, LesComm RCI Noise Filter, etc. are considered Major Custom builds.
"Custom/Modified" examples include LesComm Enhancements, Basic Clarifier mod, Amp Switch, Hi Cut Filter, etc. just to name a few. However if you add a lot of these small upgrades it could move your order to the "Major Custom" category.
"Stock/No option" means just that. These receive only a general tune up.
***Does not apply to Scanners. Scanners ship within 48 hours of purchase.
Customers are taking advantage of the MANY custom options we offer . Depending on the difficulty of your build OR THE BUILDS IN FRONT OF IT, this time could be longer!
There are NO REFUNDS for custom radio, amplifier or power supply orders. NO EXCEPTIONS! NO EXCEPTIONS!
SO BE SURE BEFORE YOU ORDER!
20% restocking fee on "as new, non-customized" radio returns. Radios are built AFTER they are ordered in the order of "payment" received.
AGAIN, THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR RETURNS ON CUSTOM RADIO, AMPLIFIER OR POWER SUPPLY ORDERS, AND KITS, NO EXCEPTIONS. So be sure BEFORE you order!
This is how it works folks. When you place an order for one of our custom radios we immediately (that day) order the necessary parts needed to build that radio including the donor radio, and set them aside for your build. So we have already invested your money in your order. We do this to prevent coming up short of the parts needed because it was discontinued or changed. (Which happens a lot!) I know this is a long time folks. But I'm only one person. I will work as fast as I can, without compromising quality, to get your order out. So as it says above, if you are an impatient person, do not order from me.

We very much appreciate your business. And to all of my many, many repeat customers a very special thank you. Tells me I'm doing something right! 73 Everybody!
