TRE-2659
- [Industrial Metal Chassis & 4-Scale Meter] Features a heavy-duty, metal-reinforced front panel engineered for commercial cabs. The large illuminated instrument displays S-Meter, Modulation %, Power Output, and SWR in real-time.
- [Multi-Mode Communication & Advanced Filtering] Supports full AM, USB, and LSB (SSB) modes for extended skip communications. Integrated with ANL/NB circuitry to isolate operators from heavy diesel engine chatter and atmospheric static.
- [Automatic SWR Hardware Protection] Equipped with continuous-monitoring Automatic SWR Circuitry and a front-panel LED alert light. Instantly detects antenna system mismatching to prevent final transistor damage during operation.
- [Dynamic Transmission Control Suite] Provides precision tactile adjustments for Mic Gain, RF Gain, Variable Power, and an independent Talkback circuit, allowing seamless calibration for diverse mobile and base environments.
- [Starlite Illuminated Face Plate] Features a Starlite fully-illuminated front panel with integrated dimmer controls, ensuring clear visibility and non-glare, 24/7 readability under pitch-black night driving or direct sunlight.

Texas Ranger TRE-2659: Heavy-Duty AM/SSB CB Mobile Transceiver
The Texas Ranger TRE-2659 is a commercial-grade, multi-mode CB radio engineered specifically for professional long-haul truck drivers, fleet operators, and radio enthusiasts who require uncompromised chassis durability, SSB long-range capabilities, and precise analog monitoring.
Ruggedized Fleet Engineering Built to withstand the punishing environments of commercial transport, the TRE-2659 features an industrial metal-reinforced front panel that resists impacts and cabin vibrations. The oversized four-scale analog meter delivers instant diagnostic status of signal strength, modulation depth, RF output, and SWR at a single glance.
Multi-Mode & Advanced Acoustic Isolation Upgraded with SSB (USB/LSB) operating modes alongside standard AM, the TRE-2659 allows operators to punch through long-distance propagation. The integrated Automatic Noise Limiter (ANL) and Noise Blanker (NB) circuits aggressively suppress ambient diesel clatter and road hum, delivering crisp, highly intelligible voice reception.
Continuous Transmitter Safeguards Operational downtime is minimized via an integrated Automatic SWR monitoring system. The radio continuously checks antenna matching and activates a dedicated front-panel warning LED if a high SWR fault is detected, safeguarding internal circuitry from power reflections without requiring manual calibration.
Starlite Night Ergonomics for Safe Operation Designed for non-distracted driving, the TRE-2659 features a Starlite illuminated face plate with adjustable brightness, ensuring all controls remain clearly visible 24/7. Replaces complex digital menus with heavy-duty tactile knobs, variable power controls, and an adjustable Talkback circuit for real-time voice monitoring.
