Getting in range perhaps (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earning

'getting' is the definition.
(earning is a kind of getting)

'in range perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'range'='inrange'
'inrange' with letters rearranged gives 'EARNING'.

(Other definitions for earning that I've seen before include "Gaining by working" , "Realising" , "Bringing in money" , "Gaining by work" , "Making money" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
