Well, I'm not gonna stick up for Galaxy radios. But this line of reasoning isn't exactly fair. I've seen and had to fix Cobra radios that did just as badly.
I remember at the last solar cycle, a guy had on rig on ch 6 that was all over the 40 channels and even some of the free band. He was so clear some ten channels away from ch 6, the only reason I know he was on ch 6 is because the signal strength was highest there. But not by much. At the time, I was on 38LSB and heard him clearly. He was on some plowed radio using 5 kilowatts.
Run a large enough linear (ha! linear!) and clip out all of the limiters out of the radio, and you can be #1 trash talker across the nation. Won't your mama be proud of you!
As far as Galaxy radios go; they aren't as good as Uniden radios are. Just not as freq stable. But you can make them work just fine, so long as they are in good repair and properly aligned. If you hear me on the CB talking DX, I'm on a Galaxy 959 that I picked up for almost nothing and made it work just fine. My mobile CB - too . . .
