But somehow it managed to be sold for $153.50 without being removed!!!

Amazing.

It's kind of ironic, actually, that Ebay considers 2950's bad enough to
be
removed, but easily modified VHF radios which can be used to interupt
important frequencies, like police, fire and EMS continue to be sold. Do
a
search for IC-2100 and see how many are offered modified, or with the
ability of the seller to modify after the auction.

note: ALL IC2100s (and most other 2m rigs) come with the ability to
wideband. Clip a single diode (in the 2100 I think it's D16, on the
back of the display board) and you have xmit from 138 to 174 MHz. But
this is nothing new; most amateur radios have had this capability for
a long time.

LOL typical keyclown dickless figures you know exactly what diode to
clip you are a pirate arent you

It's no secret. The info is available on the web. Or are you so
completely retarded that you can't find it?

Big difference the icom is not in widespread use by bootleggers and the 2950 is.

As usual, you proudly and publicly display your total stupidity and
abyssmal ignorance: The most common rigs "in widespread use by
bootleggers" are Icoms, Kenwoods, and Yaesus. The FT101 series was
legendary on 11 meters, but more Kenwoods, Icoms, and even Alincos are
showing up these days.

You ****ing retard look where the RCI is sold in CB stores on the web
and in truckstops all over the USA go ahead LOL you start spewing your
BS how RCI is meant for hams to buy but you know and the rest of the
world knows it is a CB keyclown rig meant for CB keyclowns and that is
very different from the IC2100

Of course you ignore the fact that the original poster was talking
about the Icom IC2100, which can be modified to operate in hi-band VHF
on frequencies that are not open to amateurs. Since you have zero
comprehension, allow me to help out: He said that it was stupid of
eBay (and yourself) to waste so much time on radios that MIGHT be
modified to work on CB when it's so easy to modify a 2 meter amateur
radio to operate where it shouldn't. And, of course, you have no
intelligent comment to make, so you keep spewing trash. I agree with
the poster that it's probably a whole lot more serious for someone to
get on police or fire frequencies with a 2 meter radio than it is to
get on CB with a 10 meter radio.

Beside which, you have been proven powerless to stop the sales of what
you erroneously call "illegal" CB radios.

Now you can tell me what I (or anyone else) know, when you prove
repeatedly that you don't have a freakin' clue? Gawd, what a clueless
dumbass you are.

The Ranger is a 10 meter radio, which can be modified to operate on
the 12 meter ham band as well. Anything else is pure speculation on
your part, dimbulb. Maybe you used one on CB, but they're not made for
that purpose.

Again, the most common "bootleg" radios on CB are Icom, Kenwood and
Yaesu. I don't see you shutting down sales of those radios anytime
soon. But, of course, you haven't shut down the sales of Rangers or
Unidens, either. And that bothers your tiny little ego something
fierce, doesn't it, little man?

Geez, $153 for a Ranger 2950? Good price for the buyer, and worth
every penny.

you know this from you many years in the AE SSB bootleggers club

Wrong again. As usual, numbskull. I wouldn't even know how to contact
them. But I bet you're a charter member!
