Mirage MX-36HP6 60 Watt 10 Meter Amateur Radio

The Mirage MX-36HP6 is a 60 watt AM 10 meter amateur mobile radio built on the trusted Ranger Communications chassis. Whether truckers call it the Mirage MX36HP6, the MX-36HP6 10 meter radio, or simply Mirage 60 watt, this is the higher-output successor to the popular MX-36HP3 — same compact footprint, more punch, same premium noise-canceling microphone in the box.

Designed to slide right into a Cobra 29–sized dash cutout or semi-truck cubbyhole, the Mirage MX-36HP6 gives owner-operators, off-roaders, and licensed amateur operators dependable coverage on the 10 meter band with clean, adjustable echo, front-panel mic access, and a built-in SWR meter for on-the-fly tuning.

MX-36HP6 vs. MX-36HP3: What's the Difference?

If you already run — or used to run — the Mirage MX-36HP3, the MX-36HP6 is the same footprint, same control layout, same included premium noise-canceling mic. The core difference is output: the MX-36HP6 pushes 60 watts PEP where the MX-36HP3 was rated at 45. For drivers running long stretches of interstate or operators who want more headroom before adding a linear amplifier, the MX-36HP6 is the natural step up.

Is the Mirage MX-36HP6 Mobile Ready?

Yes. The MX-36HP6 ships with everything you need to hard-mount it in a truck, jeep, RV, or shop: bracket, hardware, 3-pin DC power cord, and the SRA-198 microphone. Pair it with a properly tuned 10 meter antenna (see our 10 Meter Antennas collection) and you're on the air. Because the chassis matches Cobra 29 dimensions, most existing dash-mount pockets, DIN sleeves, and overhead cubbies in Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Volvo, Mack, and International tractors will accept it with the included bracket.

60 Watts PEP on AM — a step up from the 45 watt MX-36HP3.

Does the MX-36HP6 do SSB or FM?

No, the MX-36HP6 is AM only. If you need SSB, look at the Stryker SR-655HPC+ or SR-955HPC+. If you need FM, look at the SR-955HPC+.

Will it fit a Cobra 29 cutout in my truck?

Yes. The chassis measures 7-3/8"W × 8-3/4"D × 2-1/4"H — matching the classic Cobra 29 footprint and fitting the standard dash pockets and overhead cubbies in Peterbilt, Kenworth, Freightliner, Volvo, Mack, and International tractors.

What microphone is included?

The Mirage MX-36HP6 ships with the Premium SRA-198 Noise-Canceling Microphone — a real upgrade mic, not a bargain-bin stock unit.

Does the MX-36HP6 have a built-in SWR meter?

Yes. There's a built-in SWR meter so you can check antenna match without carrying an external unit. Note: SWR should always be verified at the antenna during install, not solely from the radio's front panel.

Can I use this radio without a license?

No. Because it transmits on the 10 meter amateur band, on-air transmit use requires at least an FCC Technician-class amateur radio license. Receive-only monitoring does not require a license.

Do you offer a Pro Tune & Alignment service?
