Ranger Communications, Inc. aka RCI capitalized on Clear Channel Corporation's failure to trademark their Ranger model name.  This gave the new RCI company some name recognition even though it is the result of confusion.  RCI quickly sent their model 2900 to the market where some unsuspecting consumers thought they were getting an updated AR-3500.  The 2900 was a failure and RCI later released models 2950, 2970 and also by a third name, Sommerkamp TS-2000 DX.  These RCI units covered a wider frequency span than the Clear Channel Radio, from 26MHz - 32Mhz once modified.  However, the RCI radios use low-end Chinese components.   Ranger Communications, Inc. aka RCI capitalized on Clear Channel Corporation's failure to trademark their Ranger model name.  This gave the new RCI company some name recognition even though it is the result of confusion.  RCI quickly sent their model 2900 to the market where some unsuspecting consumers thought they were getting an updated AR-3500.  The 2900 was a failure and RCI later released models 2950, 2970 and also by a third name, Sommerkamp TS-2000 DX.  These RCI units covered a wider frequency span than the Clear Channel Radio, from 26MHz - 32Mhz once modified.  However, the RCI radios use low-end Chinese components.  RCI has also capitalized on using the name "Texas Ranger" on models such as TR-699WX, TR-966, and TR-696FD1.  They are sold complete with a fake FCC type accepted sticker.[[Category:FCC Part 95]]
