I have one of the 5054dx's myself and I'm quite happy with it.  I spend most 
of my time on USB, with some CW operation a close 2nd, but if the band 
opening is good, there is plenty of AM and even FM dx to work.

My only complaint with the rig is the backlight on the LCD works when it 
wants to, which isn't often any more.  I am giving some thought to selling 
the Ranger though, as it doesn't do the one thing that I'd like it to 
do...CAT interface with the computer.  I'm leaning towards a FT-817, or 
IC-703+.  Right now the 817 is in the lead as my 703 is in Bellvue for the 
2nd time in less than a year.
