Ranger RCI 99N4-VFO 450+ Watt 10 Meter Radio Now comes with VFO function, 6 digit frequency display, and 9 memory channels

Updated March 2025 - New and improved design
Ranger took a good thing and made it better. The newest edition of the RCI99N4 now includes a VFO function so you can adjust to a specific frequency instead of just jumping from channel to channel. They've also upgraded the 5 digit frequency counter to a 6 digit display so you can get precisely on frequency. When you get it all dialed in you can even use the new Memory function to store up to 9 frequencies or channels.

This is a game-changer from Ranger. Finally, something to compete against all of the features and performance from the Galaxy DX 98VHP. See why this new radio from Ranger has more to offer versus the Galaxy counterpart. This all new N4 model DOUBLES the output power from the 99N2 and Galaxy 98. This is now the most feature-rich, highest output radio available.

The striking black faceplate with glowing, color changing faceplate means you won't have a hard time reading the controls on this radio. There's a built-in dimmer control so you can almost turn all the lights off, if you prefer.

The 450 watt built-in RF deck has a factory installed on/off switch shown on the front left of the radio. This allows you to completely disable the RF deck and operate under the radio's output power alone. Here's how the power output breaks down.

Other features include a fully controllable echo/reverb effect. Variable talkback control. PA speaker output. 6-digit easy to read frequency counter. Built-in auto-calibrating SWR meter with high SWR alert light. A free Ranger noise canceling microphone is included as well - one of the best sounding mics you can buy today!.

RCI99N4VFO Technical Specifications

Important notes on power output

Measuring power output will vary depending on many variables. Our default test-setup consists of a 14-volt power supply, 50 ohm dummy load, and Bird wattmeter reading PeP (peak envelope power). If you are using different equipment, measuring RMS instead of PeP, or have an SWR reading different that shown, you may have different results. The following chart shows an example of power readings for this radio with changes to measurement variables.

Test Bench Settings:
Voltage14VDC
SWR1.2 with dummy load
Impedance50 ohm

Bird Wattmeter

AM Carrier (low w/ 50W slug)10W
AM Carrier (high w/ 100W slug)200W
AM Modulation (PeP w/ 500W slug)450W*

Bird Wattmeter - RF Deck Switched OFF

AM Carrier (low w/ 50W slug) 0.5W
AM Carrier (high w/ 50W slug)5W
AM Modulation (PeP @ 100W slug)35W

Dosy Wattmeter - Wide Variation in Accuracy - +/- 15% on average versus Bird

AM Carrier 12W
AM Carrier225W
AM Modulation400W*

Height3 1/4"
Suggested Power Source50A constant (in vehicles, this means a direct to battery power connection)
IMPORTANT NOTES ON POWER
• SWR will affect power readings significantly. The readings above were using a dummy load with a 1.2 SWR reading.
• Power output readings drastically vary depending on meter. If you measure power with a Dosy meter the modulation range is anywhere from 400-750 watts! This huge discrepancy in power is exactly why we do not suggest using Dosy meters for measuring modulation.
• This radio is best suited for 400 watts PeP modulation as per a Bird wattmeter. If modulation is turned up higher than this, distorted audio and significant strain is placed on the output transistors. We do not turn the radio up past the 400 watt limit to maintain audio clarity AND the life of the radio.

Problems
Very powerful radio with cool features, but…… I have had this radio for 2 years and I’ve had to send it in for repairs twice. First the channel display went out, then it wouldn’t stop searching frequencies (first time it was sent in). Then turning it on I had to cycle the power on and off over and over until it would finally turn on, until it finally crapped out. Now it won’t turn on at all (second time sending in)! To top it off they make you pay to send it in for warranty work and it’s expensive to insure and send something this expensive, not to mention the 12 week turn around for warranty.

My opinion is that it’s not worth the money for some extra wattage
