Hello Phil and list,
My Wife got me a Ranger5054DX for last Christmas, so I have used this rig
for about a year. I use upper side band mostly at 50.125. The Stinger
Singer is of some help, but mostly I use the ever present birdies on the
band. Once I found out where the birdies are, I can stay pretty well located.
I hope that this will be of some help.
