It is still through hole design just like the LTD Classic and Chrome. All am/fm now. The LX was surface. Then they did runs of through hole and I think they’re back to surface so I’m not selling them. Just poor reports from customers. It appears inevitable, however.

Just FYI: I’ve sold close to 1,000 of those units over the years. Try using an analog reading meter. 9 times out of 10, it’s not dropping in voltage (at least that much) it’s the RFI causing the digital multimeter to react. Sometimes, especially when modulating, you can see the meter “freak...

I thought I responded to this with the fix from Ranger Malaysia. Here it is: ***”Replace C305 with a 2200uF/25V electrolytic capacitor.” Personally, it is not good enough. I ended up using a *4700uf cap. It’s only noticeable if you put your ear to the speaker. Again, these were from a...

Just can’t compete anymore?

Yes this. It’s a pretty easy alignment procedure. I found them online for mine.

Gotta be careful turning those slugs. It’s about impossible to find the right size tuning screwdriver. Plastic ones get destroyed. Ceramic screwdrivers (which is what I use) can crack those cans. I’d open the clarifier on those galaxies if you talk sideband; especially if they’re in a vehicle...

in case you’re interested, here’s a link to the 98vhp full 10m mod. Same board. “Replace X3 13.560MHz crystal to a 14.460MHz crystal.” https://cbtricks.org/radios/galaxy/dx98vhp/dx98vhp_freq_conv_2.htm

I think Michael w/ Scott’s radios said he was thinking sometime this summer but you know how that goes. He did a quick vid on the sample but didn't show any performance stuff as it’s not a final product.

Yeah, it’s nice if I don’t have to go through eBay. I’m listing it right now there for $275 plus shipping.

[SOLD] [SOLD] [SOLD] [SOLD][SOLD] [SOLD] HP 8656B RF Signal Generator $225 + Freight I’ve used this unit for about 3 years now and it has performed as it should. I just replaced it with a more compact Rigol DSG-815. It will be shipped in a box with custom molded styrofoam for protection...

I have an update on this. I spoke with Galaxy. This was a limited run, Jan 2024. John wasn’t sure if they normally use MeanWell or the knockoff that’s presently in there. While on the phone, I opened a 3rd one from stock and it has the same problem. I ordered 2 “Genuine” MeanWell power...

*The L is plugged into the + lead at the 120VAC outlet *The N is plugged into the Neutral lead at the 120VAC outlet *The Ground is plugged into the Ground lead at the 120VAC outlet. The neutral and ground are not bonded at the outlet. They are bonded at the panel. After you asking that, just to...

Yes. Both test radios are correctly hooked up. Here is a pic.

I have purchased a “genuine” MeanWell power supply from Amazon. I will receive on Wednesday. I will install and report back. Also, received showed -12db on the sinad at -112dbm on AM so that’s good.
