    Anybody ever see one of these?

    Listed as CRT SS FORCE ONE

    Weirdest contraption I have ever seen. 10, 11, and 12 meters. Has a usb port on the front and a card slot for camera memory sticks. Just to the left of center is a color tft screen for viewing photographs. It looks like one of the Ranger radios I have seen, but this one came from France. Seems like a bit of a waste to design all of this with stereo sound output and not have SSB in the package. Any body ever see one of these before?

    Different radio. This one has AM/FM transmit and receive and a three level power switch.

    If it's free it's for me!! That's my motto. Looks like a decent am /fm export. Radio seems to be steered toward the truck driver IMO, to look at photos and maybe charge a phone, I like the waveform setting there, the middle photo. Have you peeked under the hood yet? Is it a single or dual final radio? I agree, ssb would have made that radio a winner IMO, but hey for free how can you complain lol. Anyway cool looking radio.

    Further investigation and I have found volumes of information. There are only TWELVE of these in the United States.
    It in fact was made in France, imported to the U.S. and made without the permission of the company that designed it,
    Ranger. The only reason that this radio is collectable is the CRT brand name on it and it was not approved for manufacture.


    I have been investigating this radio and found out that there are only 12 of these in the United States! I think the collect-ability on this radio just went up and price has gone up as well.(I'll add it to my museum)
