Makes you definitely think twice about who you let work on your radio, without having some type of recommendation from someone who has had previous dealings.
Once again I appreciate everyone’s advice. I will not be running any other amplifiers in line with this radio, only reason for switch to turn off or reduce amplifier wattage is to be respectful for some of my local cb’ers. I will be running it as a base station as well as a mobile at times. My...
I appreciate the information that you have provided. Makes it almost not worth it to spend that kind of money on a radio that might not get the full tune up needed to preform at its best. You wouldn't happen to no where it would be possible to purchase and get the full alignment and tune up you...
Looking to purchase a New Galaxy 98VHP. I know it needs to be converted but what type of wattage should I be looking at after I have had it peaked and tuned & aligned. Is there an actual Swing Kit Mod for this radio? Also looking to have a switch installed to turn off the linear to run low...
Thanks to all who replied to my post. Each of you had some very useful information that I had been looking for. I really appreciate each one of you for taking the time out of your day to pass along some of your knowledge. Thanks Steve
Thanks Nomadradio, You don't personally know me but you do know a few of my fellow CBer's around town. You have worked on this very Saturn Turbo I speak of. It does have a switch installed to turn off the amplifier for low wattage of 30 watts pep, or full power of 180 pep. I also believe a mod...
Thanks 543_Dallas, It has had a Mod swing kit installed and tuned up. Might just be best to leave it as is and try and find something around 400 or 500 if possible that I can drive with the amp off and use the 1/4 watt swinging 30 to drive it with. I really appreciate your time in responding to...
Space cowboy Thanks for your response. I would assume you mean to have the wattage output reduced on the Saturn? If I turn the built in linear off it produces 30 watts pep on am so I assume that should be enough to drive a bigger linear and produce more wattage than the 180 watts pep that it...
543_Dallas thanks for your helpful knowledge, I have been out of the radio business for years now and I am trying to get a station reestblished and I am finding out that a lot has changed. My Galaxy Saturn Turbo has a on & off switch installed for the built in linear, switch off variable from...
Thanks for the info, I knew someone would send me in the right direction. I do have a switch that I can flip off and only run a dead key 1/2 watt and pep 30 so I assume a low drive will work if I don't forget to switch it off. Lol Really I am looking for a amplifier capable of around 500 to 800...
Yes a oops moment would be very bad! Really that's why I was wondering if like a Boomer Deluxe 400 or 600 would work also with the built in power supply to run a mobile as well if needed. Your info has been very helpful, guess it's just a matter of what's best for that senecio I have and also...
Thanks for the info. Being I have a switch installed to turn off the internal amplifier on the radio I thought I might be able to to run a bigger external amp than what the radio would produce itself. It produces right around 190 I believe when switch is on and really cant remember when off but...
Looking for suggestions on a Base Amplifier with built in power supply to use with a Galaxy Saturn Turbo, DK 1 to 17 watts without built in amp turned on? Using IMAX 2000 antenna. Thanks
