    Galaxy 88hl warble

    I will do that when I can. The radio is now in the big rig and it worked nicely all day. I did order another parts 88hl, maybe I can resurrect that one for a spare or use it for parts for the other one..I need a radio for the places I deliver to, so all is on on hold. If the other is crap both...

    Galaxy 88hl warble

    It does it on usb and a little on lsb and its sort of noticeable on am but the average joe wouldn't notice it on am.. It does have a slight funny oscillation sound in rx but its useable. hope that makes sense..

    Galaxy 88hl warble

    The power supply runs my 100 watt HAM rigs no prob. The 88 is stock and is running 10 watts on AM so dont think its a power issue but you never know. Ill hook it up in the truck and cross my fingers.

    Galaxy 88hl warble

    Hi all. Its been a while.. I am stumped. I just recieved a Galaxy 88hl and it performs awesome.. Problem is when it warms up it develops a warble on RX all modes and USB tx. I thought it might be power related but it has a solid 14.3 volt supply on the base station.This radio is going to go in...

    Why Smoke Free?

    If the radio has been around smoke for a long time the whole inside of the radio, especially the hi-heat areas, they get a gunky buildup of tar. Not fun to clean and will lower the life expectancy of the radio. (as well as the owner who smoked around it). PS:I just bought a ic-7000 that was...

    New not so proud owner of an IC-7000

    I don't want to directly give out his name and call. I need to stop being so nice. UPDATE: He did email me back and wanted to know why I opened the radio and played radio technician. Because I opened it up the radio was mine. And didn't like my "tone". This guys a gem..

    New not so proud owner of an IC-7000

    Yup, I should have known when the guy wanted a moneygram. He got his cash and I got a crap radio. I would respect him more if he would answer emails. Doctor, I will open it up and trace the 2 meter side for defects this weekend. Thanks I should be able to trace it out after I get a...

    New not so proud owner of an IC-7000

    Thats not the only thing. The ad even said it came from his smoke free shack. I opened the box and the cigarette smell filled the shack like an ash tray! Every time the fan kicks in I am reminded of the old bar days when New Yorkers were allowed to smoke in bars. I am gonna either sell it or...

    This is not a known problem with these rigs. I bet the owner suspected there was a problem and "forgot" to tell me. The IC-7000 is a great radio with a ton of features. I really love it.

    I think its hooked up right as I don't think I can match up and talk with a dual band antenna on 160. Yup everything is hooked up right. Even with the pre amp on I receive my 50 watt rig at half scale. 440 works great and that uses the same antenna connector. SUX!
