Review, 100W Galaxy DX 94HP
- Thread starter Wire Weasel
- Start date
maybe the best Galaxy since the 99v came out, have a great time with it
I am all over. From the burbs to cairo and from quincy to danville.
Literally depends upon the day and week.
I have a 98 vhp and it is rock solid on SSB.
I use the radio freq counter and an external and have never had issues. I have heard the earliest 98s drifted and contacted ray from galaxy.
He said these radios are tuned when they leave qa at the factory. When they get " set-up and super aligned " by less than knowledgeable techs, troubles arise.
My 44 has been trouble free for years and this led to my choice.

I got my DX94HP a week ago and I LOVE IT!! I had a 99V and sold it years back. Sure miss it so I got the 94HP. I think it stay on freq pretty good and the modulation from what I am being told is BOOMING. I have a D104M6B on it and have put a silver eagle, turner+2, galaxy desk echo and other mics to compare and people I talk to every day say when I key it cleans out thier recieve from 5 miles out easy. I talk to these people from 7 other radios I have to compare and they say this one has a great booming sound to it.
Ya do pay for what ya get so I forked up the $339.00 and got some real good quality!!

I hope you enjoy your Falcon. Still have mine....probably because it's in unsaleable condition - or wouldn't get near enough out of it due to the problems it has.
It is indeed a screaming talker. Big modulation and that 4 mosfet array really has the swing to its thing.
The internal fan in mine went out. Major fooking surgery to replace it. It is hopeless. So I have two muffin fans strapped to the bottom of it. Ugly but effective.
Also the Starlight face display lighting is making that high-pitched whining noise that they end up making and that is annoying. You can turn the whole display lighting off and that kills the noise. There's supposed to be a fix for this by adding a capacitor and I tried it but it had no effect.
The roger beep won't work when the radio is cold (winter temps). Rig has to be on and talking on it for a while to get warmed up before it starts working.
So besides these breakdowns the radio is okay. Don't think I'd spring these bucks for another one though.
my 94 hp was issue free but i only used it as a base .loved that radio .all i ever done after conversion was to crank the modulation vr. that was it .it talked great .

I've had one of these for a month or so. I just got it back from Don's CB Service. He just did a warranty alignment only.
It really quieted down. Seems very stable, been hammering away on 10 meters. Had an hour + ragchew with an old timer tonight, I didn't fidget with the clarifier at all.
I'm looking for an old beater pickup and will likely slap this in it when I find something.

i too thought about one f these for the mobile.cause i do really like thier large display
easy to see in mobile
I have had mine for 3 months and I really like it. You have to put tint on the freq counter and the meter to really use the starlite display though.
I would say don't waste your time doing that. If you must I would start a new thread in the radio modifications section asking this question. When you highjack an old thread like this no one will see your question.
