Ranger VR-9000 Base CB Radio Questions & Answers
What is the best power mic for the ranger vr 9000
Astaic 36L. You never want to run a power Mike with a good radio with Mic Gain. Road King is great to. It is very hard to find the honey spot with a power Mike when you have Mike gain on radio.I think it is pretty hard to beat the 36L. I use one one my Connex 4600 Turbo and Galaxy 95T2, They both performe great. Connex is a little better a DX ing though
Ranger vr 9000 how to turn down the talkback
First , is this radio new or used ? If it is new I see no dial for talk back and if it is used then was talk back added to it ? Open the radio so you can check out trace side of the radio and look to where the speaker jacks plug in. If you see a resister soldered across them then disconnect it and your talk back is gone,unless you still want it then solder a 220 ohm resister in place of the one you removed. if the radio is out of the box new then it should be adjustable but as I look at the face I see no knob marked as talk back.If you ordered this radio and asked for talk back on a seperate switch then which one ? look at it and make the call as to which wires to cut and do it .
Disable talkback on ranger vr9000
RCI is part of the Galaxy company based in San Diego, California---A call there may resolve how if possible to do this--if built into the radio it may be possible to defeat it---if someone added it then it will be a part very close to the speaker jack on rear of the unit.

I have a 6 wire D104 . How do I wire it to a Ranger 2985 dx ?
Wiring a 6-wire D104 microphone to a Ranger 2985 DX requires connecting the wires in the correct order and configuration.
The Ranger 2985 DX has an 8-pin modular plug, and the D104 microphone has a 6-pin modular plug.
Here's one way to wire the D104 microphone to the Ranger 2985 DX:
- Connect the red wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 4 (PTT - Push-To-Talk).
- Connect the black wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 5 (Ground).
- Connect the white wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 6 (MIC + Audio).
- Connect the blue wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 7 (Receive Audio)
- Connect the green wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug pin 8 (Transmit Audio)
- Connect the yellow wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 3 (UP-Down).
It's important to double-check the wiring configuration with the user manual of the Ranger 2985 DX and the D104 microphone. Some manufacturers have different wiring configurations and it's important to match the wiring accordingly to avoid any damage to the device.
It's also worth noting that if you are not comfortable with the wiring process, it's best to consult with a professional technician or a radio expert.
