Just to clarify, step 3 on the alignment procedure has you adjust vc1 on the viagra board so that tp5 reads 15.36 mhz on AM ch 20 rx. I complete this step and then switch over to usb. Tp5 now reads 15.36250 and the front panel freq display correctly shows 27.205 mhz. I then switch to lsb and tp5...

Sorry, that should have read 15.36250 and 15.35750 instead of 16.36250 and 16.35750 (fixed it above)

Yes, followed the alignment procedure line for line. The problem is, or seems to be that the viagra board is outputting the same frequency for LSB as it does for USB (15.36250 MHz instead of what it should be outputting : 15.35750 MHz ) the result being that the freq is way off in. LSB 27.210...

Yes, that's what I used. It's well beyond what the clarifier can swing and it seems to be adding the freq to lsb instead of subtracting it. It renders it nonfunctional and there are no adjustments that can be make that I can see that will "fix " it other than getting a new chip. I am hoping...

I'm having trouble getting a viagra b board installed in a dx959. The board seems to work fine in AM and. USB but is having a problem on LSB. The freq is on for USB (27.205 MHz at antenna and 15.3625 MHz at TP5 on ch20 ). But on LSB it is messed up (27.210 at antenna and still 15.3625 (instead...

From Amazon: "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. Gift-wrap available."

On closer inspection, someone definitely modded this and returned it, the diodes aren't very well placed and the solder joints are shiny... This thing is definitely going back, not going to trust that it isn't messed up.

Got it from Amazon, it was listed as new and there are no referb stickers on it.

I bought a new Galaxy 959 (4/14 manuf date) and it appears to already have the upgraded schottky diodes and 2SB817 amp stock from the factory. Anyone else get one recently and notice this?
