    Galaxy dx2547 (959) No squelch

    Thanks, Robb. I traced it back to Q44. The trace was pulled away from the board, slightly. Re flowing the solder did not fix it though. Q44 was actually bad. It must have gone bad from having the bad connection. She's back in business. PS: This is a fresh out of the box radio. Arg...

    Galaxy dx2547 (959) No squelch

    I handle general radio work whereas my vacationing tech normally handles the tech stuff.

    Galaxy dx2547 (959) No squelch

    IC1 checks out, including pin 8, which adjusts in voltage as squelch pot is increased. Suggestions?

    Galaxy dx2547 (959) No squelch

    cannot engage squelch (constant static). Squelch pot is adjusting correctly 0-50k. The problem is on both AM and SSB, however I check Vr3/d15 and vr4/d35 anyway, and they're good. Should I be looking at IC1 or possibly a transistor? I don't have a voltage chart. Suggestions?

    Cobra 29 NW ST WX - weird problem

    Well, this took care of part of my problem. After doing to mod, the radio transmits as it should. However, the receive still does not work properly. Everything comes in garbled,though the meter response as it should with respect to RX signal. Wonder how do bypass the entire ST in RX and RX...

    Cobra 29 NW ST WX - weird problem

    I think that deals with a different problem, however it's such a simple task that I will go ahead and remove the 2 caps and short the 2 legs of the ic and we what happens.

    Cobra 29 NW ST WX - weird problem

    Difficult explanation...I'll briefly describe symptoms and skip to the weird stuff. TX modulation drops to nothing after a few seconds of keying. RX audio is faint, though the meter shows RX is working. Sounds like it's off frequency but isn't. Turn on SoundTracker and it improves the RX...

    Dx959 New - mic board/talkback issue

    RESOLVED *** New radio. Plugged in. Turned on. Upon plugging in microphone, radio would shut off. Inspected the mic board. Two legs on the transistor of that board were touching. Cleaned up solder. Problem FIXED. Plugged mic in and keyed up. Just one problem, No Talkback. Everything else...

    Stryker SR-89MC

    The frequency expansion is the same. Without seeing a pic of the board, I can't tell you the hi and low carrier adjustments and the 2 modulation adjustments. However, from personal experience (a lot of it) I wouldn't touch the modulation pots in the new version (2015 to present). They are...

    Hey Sonoma, thanks for the note. I'm doing well. I didn't know about your wife. Sorry to hear that. Yeah, sometimes when you're fixing up your own radio for fun it's relaxing. Other times....arg. I do keep the guys at cbt busy sometimes. Normally, it's because a Galaxy came it with some...

    Jeez, Nomad. I had no idea that kind of crap was so out of control. By far, it has consistently been the best resource over the years for me. Sonoma, jersey, Laz, -andy, all these guys have saved me many hours and taught me a great deal. Things have slowed down so much that I'm getting...

    DX-949 no power output

    To answer your question: No. Removing Q39 will not cause the radio to have no output. The boards you're referencing are essentially the same. Theres a possibility that when you removed Q39 (assuming you de-soldered it), you accidentally soldered together two solder pads or pulled a pad up...

    Stryker SR-89MC

    I like them. But the one think I hate is the controls. The volume takes about 10 seconds to turn down 20% (beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep beep) wait, still too loud, beep beep beep beep beep, ahh, screw it, MUTE. YES, ILL TAKE A BIG MACK, AMD SORRY ABOUT ALL THAT NOISE. Then, to...

    Stryker SR-89MC

    Wait, I just saw this. The add on eBay is my ad, duh. The one that is cheaper is the old model. No MOSFET, bad filtering, no noise blanker, no rf gain control, no high/low power. If you did buy it, it was from me. :).

    Stryker 955 frequency display calibrate

    Well that wasn't fun. I think I spent more time getting the software and driver installed and working. Camaro, thanks for the I put. The whole "factory" check box to lock and unlock the test mode was helpful. The soft aware link enabled me to at least do that. I installed the full software...
