get hold of ranger and they should be able to help you.

have you tried it on all bands? still won't transmit?take it to a tech so they can fix it properly.

What kind of radio is it.. RCI?? or other.. IF its a rci 2950 stlye there is a pin on the panel of the radio inside. this will reset it back to 28mhz. then put it back, it may work. if it doesn't it will be a more major problem possibly.

i have the same radio rci 2950. Ive had the same problem with mine,turns out with mine the processor would lock up,turning the radio off & on repeadly would clear the problem and the radio would work fine x-mit & recieve. the solution to fixing the problem is to replace the memory backup battery this battery works similar to a computer motherboard cmos battery when this battery goes dead all sorts of strange things happen to the radio wont transmit wont recieve or like your problem transmits continiously. the problem with replacing this battery is finding out what year & model your ranger 2950 is. the internet says only first generation ranger 2950s use the battery second genration & third generation do not use the battery. but the internet could be wrong. so i suggest getting a hold of (usa ranger.com) & give them a phone call or email and ask them about the year your radio was made. they may even service it for you or if you are electronic savvy you can do it yourself. the battery is located close to the main cpu on the front panel if yours uses a battery.

check the ground wires

Bad mic? dirty mic pins? If the mic is bad, you will have no receive.
