is it doing it when the radio has been on for awhile or when the radio is first turned on ????

What have you done so far to troubleshoot?

First do a visual inspection - pay particular attention to the capacitors.

Let me know,
Thanks!

In most cases I have been able to replace a capacitor associated with the power supply, it fails when the voltage is pulled down during transmit. You're more than welcome to ship it in here.

how can I get more modulation out od this radio?

your radio is trying to draw more current than your power supply can provide it, you need a power supply with higher current capability.

receiver alignment is beyond what you can do unless you have a good signal generator and scope and the knowledge needed to understand the circuitry and the test equipment, you will need a tech to do this job.

im not sure carriers are measured in pounds, but SSB is a supressed carrier mode, in SSB only one sideband is transmitted and the carrier is inserted at the other end in the receiver. In AM mode the carried and both sidebands are transmitted. with regular am there is a carried and when modulation (your voice) is added a signal appears both above and below the carrier frequency at a distance relative to the frequency of your voice. so if you have a carrier at 1000 khz and modulated it with a tone of 100 hertz the signal will contain frequencies of 900,1000, and 1100 hertz, then its changed to SSB by supressing the carrier (1000) and one sideband (1100) if you are on lower sideband and (900) if you one upper sideband, and transmits the remaining frequency.

Ebay (sorry i couldn't resist)

go to this site and you can pick the brand of mic. hat you want.

Good luck and please rate.

Hello janetsue, If this radio has the blue or green screen LCD face then this is a default that is built into the radio. It depends on how the radio was "converted" when it was bought new.
It will not key up on 10 or 12 because of the default. A little more info supplied would be real helpful,,,, Let me know, Mechanic

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:

1. Connect the red wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 4 (PTT - Push-To-Talk).
2. Connect the black wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 5 (Ground).
3. Connect the white wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 6 (MIC + Audio).
4. Connect the blue wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug's pin 7 (Receive Audio)
5. Connect the green wire from the D104 to the 8-pin modular plug pin 8 (Transmit Audio)
6. 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.

Hi John,Ranger CB YES, Model No. NO, led display, YES IT HAS ONE OF THOSE.More info please john.The more info about the radio you give and the problem, the easier it is to give you assistance, we can't answer buy guess work, it's neither helpful nor pleasant.Cheers,Peter

Doing this is *******.

This website has all sorts of info on CB Radio's. This link will take you to the Ranger 2980. If you can't find what you are looking for there then you may be stuck.

check out the schematic first .It may be the same wiring .

Your radio needs an alignment to bring it back to specs . Check all the frequencies according to the manual and have a tech tune it for you .
