Hi Jerry @ve3ext, I was doing a little searching myself to see if I could help you out. For the Ranger RCI-5054 transceiver, are you sure that is a 100 watt unit? If so, might you have the model number wrong? For a Ranger RCI-5054, I am seeing a specification of "covers 6 meters 50-54 MHz with 25 watts PEP (USB/LSB) or 10 watts RMS(CW/AM/FM)."
From: Ranger RCI-5054, Ranger RCI-2950 Transceiver
I just wanted to make sure that I was looking for the correct model.

Hi Jerry @ve3ext, now I found two references to a 100 watt version:
Mobile 6m Ranger RCI -5054 DX -100 Watt 6 Meter All Mode Transceiver
RANGER RCI-5054DX 6 METER 100W HAM RADIO
I'll keep looking for a PL mod or schematic or both...

The Ranger was made in two versions, RCI-5054DX (25 watts) and the RCI-5054DX-100 (100 watts). I would suspect that they are the same except for the final output circuit.

Jerry @ve3ext, how about this?

Connecting a TE-32 CTCSS Tone box to 5054dx
A few years ago I bought an RCI-5054dx. I was interested in connecting a Tone board to it so I could work 6m repeaters. Paul- CDX-8412 came to my rescue. He photographed the process. I would like to share it here that someone may receive help from what Paul shared with me. Thanks Paul ! 1...

I am in the process of making new VCO coils for 50-54 right now on a low band Ranger.
It is possible to wire in about any CTCSS board, the hard part is getting the levels right.
GE master base station CG cards may even be compatible.
(Looking to mod it like my Delta SX.)
Let me know of any documentation you need for the radio.
I am into a very problematic LB Orion also and may become a development platform.
Modding a 36-50 ranger is no easy chore and seen some smoke not doing it right.
Here IMHO is a workable but poor mod:

OK, adding CG card is doing it the hard way, the brain does handle CG via 2 'walsh bits'.
CG data is programmed on a channel by channel basis into the X2212 eeprom.
Some read for you, if I can find something that will upload.
Find LBI-31619D on repeater builder site, read programming note on page A7.
LBI-31714D covers that also, a good read.

Why do I get upload file to big for the system errors ? Cmon, they are not that big.
See, leave it to Ericsson to confuse seasoned engineers, OPs radio is NOT the RANGER, it is the
RCI-5054DX ham rig. And my bad being in the amateur category and not taking note.

I get confused over that too...
I uploaded a 200+Kb file just fine, a file one third the size gets me the too large error. 10 Kb is even too big.Hi Merlin,

(total, I have over 500 Gb in documents.)
