Galaxy 2547 getting hung up

So Ray I must ask. When is galaxy comming out with a new base rig for me to purchase.

I'd like to look at doing a 10-meter version of the DX2547. Something with maybe 100-150 watts out with two Toshiba 2SC2290s but that might mean no onboard power supply. Similar to what Icom does with their small low priced base/mobile models. Change the LEDS to LCD and go out 6-8 digits with a real VFO instead of a channel selector for those fussy SSB operators.

Check the transmit and receive switching transistors Q33 and Q30 respectively.

Collector of Q33 should be 8.0vdc in TX and 0.0vdc in RX.
Collector of Q30 should be 0.0vdc in TX and 8.0vdc in RX.

Make sure the negative lead on your voltmeter is attached to PC board ground and not chassis ground.

This is the best place to start when troubleshooting a TX or RX problem.

Also I got your PM request for the clarifier control and thought we had worked a deal out on that.
I send you the clarifier control and you give me my Galaxy logo avatar back....

What do you think guys, sound like a fair trade?

ok ill get you that number you need.

Received your info yesterday except for your name so I apologize for calling if you were busy. Boxed and sent out that clarifier control you wanted in todays US mail so you should receive it in 2-3 days. If you need anything else just drop me an email as I hate using the forums PM system. Thanks again for the avatar.

and ray please keep me EXTREMELY UPDATED about that new rig. Ill be like those people who camped out to get the playstation 3 for one of those. So just keep me updated. And if i could influence a little bit, tell them to shoot for about 250 watts. A good amount of power, but nothing crazy to really kill the neighbors.
