Hello all I recently purchased a used galaxy it has a slight Hummer in the TX none in the rx. Your thoughts? ?? I think bad caps in the audio synthesizer. I have more audio than hum can be heard clear on all bands just can hear it a little in the dead key.just wonder if I should take it to the radio man or ride sally ride grip. Also I haven't dropped any watts keys a .25 swings twenty.

I got it hooked up and swr meter and had a problem with my beams the wire from coax to gamma had become unsolder
So is the hum gone after you fixed the coax connection?
If not, hook the Saturn up via DC to a DC power supply (10 amp or more) and see if the hum exists. If it's gone, then the AC filter caps need replaced. Chances are that's the underlying problem.
Peaking and tuning Galaxy bases well above factory specs sends the power supply and filter caps to premature deaths.

That seem to fix it thanks for all the help I knew something was loose because it just started on afternoon after working fine all day and by fine I mean ssb dxing. I don't think this radio has ever been modded.
