This is a galaxy DX88HL manufactured date is 1996. It does have the small counter board attached to the side case.

Purchased the 2SA473 and replaced it. It fixed the voltage problem. Now the frequency seems to fade away. When I turn the radio on, it slowly fades down until the frequency counter reads 888888. That is the same for any band setting. It starts at around 28.405 and fades down slowly to around...

Thanks. I used that site before for a Galaxy DX33HML. They have a lot of information. I really appreciate all the help you are all giving me. I'm very new to these types of radios. I'm usually messing with uhf Motorola. I built a repeater for GMRS to use locally. That was a fun project.

I did resolder the transistor legs but that didn't seem to help anything. I'm going to order a new transistor. I measured the voltage after the resolder and it was battery voltage. I shut the radio down because I didn't want the magic smoke coming out from anywhere.

No it's not intermittent. It's always the same.

The 2SA473 transistor has broken legs. I Will solder it back on and give you an update. I'm also going to resolder and resolder the frequency counter connections and see if that will help. I'm also using a solder with 3% silver. I don't think that will hurt anything will it?

="Eldorado828, post: 774306, member: 46753"]Try the simple things first. That radio has a frequency band board. Check the connections to and from the band board for starters. Is the band knob rotary switch working correctly. In regards to tx or rx that could be a completely different issue but...

I have a Galaxy DX88HL that stays at one frequency no matter what switch I use. It also has no tx or rx. Any help please? I do have a new PLL ordered.
