Product Details

The 2950DX from RCI has become an icon in the radio world. The radio has proved itself to be solid, reliable, and offer excellent performance. RCI Radios has maintained the classic RCI-2950 model while introducing a new version named the 2950DX-6. Alongside retaining all functions, the transceiver’s display screen has been upgraded to a white LED display, enhancing readability from various angles. 

The most notable advancement in this new transceiver is its output of approximately 60 watts (PeP). The new final section is equipped with 4 MOSFET transistors and incorporates a sizable heatsink on the back. To facilitate airflow and ensure better heat dissipation, the top cover is louvered.
