Good 6-meter Budget Radio. Time Owned: 3 to 6 months. After listening to a lot of the local operators talk about 6-meters, I thought I would give it a whirl. After researching for a couple of months ,and reading reviews on many different 6-meter radios. I chose the ranger due to the cost and experience of a couple of local guys that use em.

Great single band radio for 6 meters Time Owned: more than 12 months. I bought my TS-60 used 2 years ago. It needed dial lights and that was it. I replaced the lights, performed a full alignment and it turned out perfect. I ran it all the time on FM till I replaced it with a Midland commercial radio for 6 FM 6 months ago.

Reviews For: Ranger RCI-5054dx - eHam.net
The newer transceivers that includes 6 meters are better performers for weak DX. The RCI is simply a basic receiver, but is sensitive enough. Owning a separate 6 meter transceiver is great for constant monitoring of the 6 meter band with its at times rare and brief openings. It has 10 memory frequencies that can be constantly scanned.
Reviews For: MFJ 9406X 6M SSB Adventure Radio - eHam.net
I used this radio with dipoles of steel threaded rod, home brew inverted aluminum tubes, copper J-poles, homebrew 2-element Yagi's, Hamstick dipoles,and finally the 3-element Yagi from MFJ. This radio never disappointed me in its performance. I have a 9440x radio that is almost as much fun, even it only puts out 5W.
Reviews For: King Conversions 6 meter amps - eHam.net
The AL-80B works great producing 1000 watt PEP out. This amp makes sense for 6 meter conversion due to low capacitance of just one 3-500Z tube vs two 3-500Z tubes in other amps that only produces 200 more watts output. One 3-500Z tube is more efficient on 6 meters.

Just got this little gem (along with a TT937 power supply, and mirage 6 and 2 meter amps) in a great deal. I have to say that this radio amazes me. I run an Orion (with no 6m) so I was trying to convince myself to get an Omni 7 just for the 6m capability. Then I …
