You can't get a word in edgewise on 6, thats "motormouths" channel! I talked all day on 28.

I went to buy a used 29 chrome, but the displays were basically going out, so I spotted a 29lx, Anyway I took it home opened it up and turned the power down to 2 watts and the D11 was already snipped, hooked my 203 to it and red devil power mike and I talked skip all day from the midwest to the...

I ended up sending mine to Panic Attack and had him go thru the radio and hook the echo up, its pretty neat now!

Well I hate to say it but im just going to send it back before any problems happen, too many bad reviews ruined it for me.

9.3.2025 very quite all day, started to barley pickup right at sundown here in Southern Indiana.

I got one today, they look great and pickup as good as any but the watts are at 3! Didn't matter I ordered a kl-203 amp and a power supply. Im going to set the AM watts down to 1.5 will that be enough for a clean signal or does it need to be 1 as a rule? This is my second setup or "backup" to...

All weekend was great, here in Southern Indiana we heard the West coast top to bottom, now today nothing at all, I guess that guy got his church clothes off finally and got his work clothes on today

Boxed up the Texas Ranger and sending it to "Panic Attack" for some updating!!!

Yes it is a Galaxy DX-979, tomorrow we visit the VR-16 pod and golden screwdriver it up about 7/8s LOL!!!!!

Update, checked the power and its 5 watts peak the pod doesn't turn any higher, and the low will go to 1 but I put it at 2 watts. How does one get more power out of the radio? Also tried the echo mod done nothing but turned receive to treble.

I was an installer for 8 years back in the hayday of the late 90s, worked on a few in that time!

Yes, listen to skip every evening, im in Southern Indiana and the West coast comes in like they are at the end of the block so that parts good, but 5 watts isn't doing anything for me on this end.

Then what in the world can I do with this radio, throw it in the river and start over??? seems like everyone else has the best radios and can cut modulation loose, up the power, clarifier etc but this radio can't do anything?

I think I might send it to somebody to line it out and make sure its OK, im probably going to run a linear like a 300 or something.

Sounds like I picked the wrong expensive radio.
