(Solved) I had expelled all my options with this radio but I was not about to throw it in the junk pile. I was able to get ahold of Clay's Radio Shop and send the unit in for repair. Clay was easy to work with and was able to complete the repair in a fair amount of time. So what was found...

Hello, My beloved 88HL is having issues which I cannot fix. The local tech in Oregon has since passed away. Can anyone mention a good tech here in Oregon or someone I can ship my radio to who knows the in and outs of Galaxy’s? Much appreciated!

I am interested. I have a Flex 1500. You have reverse engineered the firmware? What do you charge?

Morning 711, Did you get anywhere with this? I have been working on a few things myself that I don’t want to mention publicly. If you want, PM me and we can talk. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I am getting roughly 12mv in AM only. OL in SSB. Thanks!

Evening, I removed C187 and lifted one end of R163. The carrier is still present on both AM, FM and SSB. Thank you, Jay

Will do!

I will give it a go here in a bit and report back. Thank you!

L12 - L17 area. Although it is very random as far as changing the tone, making it warble can be had in may different areas of the board. One thing I noticed last night and in the past. I hook the ground lead of my probe to the chassis when using my scope to check voltages etc. The chassis...

Unfortunately no luck. I removed the connectors from the Freq. counter module, assuming one of them was J107. Freq. counter went dark yet I still have the carrier. As far as mods go, yes it has been modded in the past. I would say it has all except the modulation mod as outlined on the...

Update - I removed one leg of R179 with no loss or change in tone. I then replaced C199 as suggested with no loss or change of tone. When probing around on the board looking for cold solder joints I did notice I can make the tone oscillate if I press in certain areas, near or on the cans etc...

Thank you, I will do as you suggested this morning and report back. Jay

I did find this tonight although for the 77HML. How would I verify DC voltage leaking through a capacitor? Galaxy DX Radios Model DX77HML Chassis EPT3600-14B Symptom Excessive noise on transmit with mic gain off, DC voltage is leaking into the audio through C128 Cure Replace C128 Additional...

Hello All, I have a Galaxy DX 88HL with an issue and it is kicking my backside. I have the radio on my bench connected to my 12 volt PS. Mic connected to radio, antenna port connected to a power / SWR meter then to a 50 ohm dummy load. The problem is constant, experiences the same issue with...
