    Galaxy DX99V from dual to single final possible?

    Make power adjustment proper way. Set ALC as before. In place of red cross add 1kOhm pot. (Just lift one leg of the resistor and add pot.). Adjust output power to desired lvl. Done. Mike

    Galaxy DX99V from dual to single final possible?

    There is other way, but I need what board you have in your DX99V. Old and new are single final based on schematics here: https://cbtricks.org/radios/galaxy/dx99v/

    Galaxy DX99V from dual to single final possible?

    Just compare schematics 1 final vs 2 finals. Personally I don't see any benefit from that modification. Mike

    Sirio Monsoon Antenna

    Low radiation angle for excellent DX. Strictly depended on mounting height. Can be skywave. Poor element joining with sheet metal screws. It seems, that is not DC grounded antenna. I doubt user can see a difference comparing to other, similar length antenna. Mike

    Yagi waterproofing ideas

    Get rid of gamma match and connect coax directly. Don't forget about choke balun. Than nothing to waterproof except coax end. Since ages I use plasticine for that. Mike

    RCI-2995 DX HP Factory Error

    What do you mean tilted? Side of the radio is flat, isn't it?

    Anybody use switching power supplies?

    DPS600PB OVP mod. 3 diodes give 2.1V higher OVP trigger point. So if PS is set to 14V it's just perfect.
