A strong wind blows out non-rf mosfets. SWR of 1.5 and pop! Mosfet finals not designed specificly for RF are garbage and have been garbage since day one. Sure they make power especialy PEP power and they make money for those that do the mod but that is about the best that can be said for them...

Any of the mod's for the other DX line of radio's can be done to it for the most part.

I am only in Michigan not that far from Ohio. Most of the guys I talk to on the radio the last 25 years are all retired guys!

While your in there replace all 3 voltage regulators they are identical. You normaly upgrade them. I am not saying that is the issue either just saying while you are there!

Nothing like details about what it does and how it does it or why anyone likes it or does not like. When you try to research Top Gun MD-1 or CP-1 all you get is "Top Gun Good" or "Top Gun Bad"..... You can find 300 pages on NPC mod of a Cobra 29 but can not even get a paragraph on either of...

Sorry to bring this thread back to life. A lot of very basic and key info is missing about this device. I am very familar with the SP1-a from decades long ago. It is a huge shielded box the CP-1 is smaller than a USA postage stamp about 1/2 as big and not at all shielded. So is this device...

I am tired of radio's that do not fit modern vechiles, that have garbage user interfaces, and cost a fortune. Plus I do not need mega watt's of power on my dash I have an entire vechile with which I can place an amplifier in a place that is convient, out of sight, and get's plenty of air flow...

It is almost like these companies are in an arms race to see who can strap a bigger heat sink to their radio's! I am tired of radio's with huge heat sinks on them. If they want to slap that much aluminium on the back side of a radio make it shorter! I do not need stupid crazy watts built into...

I wish they would make it even shorter. Drop the heat sink and put a single bipolar final or a single RF fet in it. Make it an inch or two narrower. Give it a red display. Make it full HF+6. Give it eSSB. make the audio and TX/RX bandwidth selectable in the menu. For the price they want for one...

Imagine the new life that could be given to any and every galaxy for very little $$$. It is generaly accepted that they have great AM audio and the SSB audio is not bad their issue has always been the drift happy VCO. It is not like Uniden or Cobra are ever going to make anything like the...

Everything you need to know about the average dim witted amateur radio operator can be seen in how they responded to the HR2510/2600/Lincoln. You can be intellectualy intelligent but also ignorant, small minded, hate filled and petty! The smarter one thinks one is usually the dumber the person...

Well Galaxy offerings seems rather scarce. RCI offerings seem rather scarce. It has been this way for a while longer than DJT has been POTUS. I doubt the Tariffs are to blame. Even capacitors and other jelly bean parts have been scarce for longer than Donald Trump has been President. For...

Yes gone are the days of 100 people on a NET on CB in a town or city. I remeber those days it was still a thing in the deep south in the 1990's. Today especially up North everyone is pretty far and few with large distances being the norm today. You either have huge beams and talk barefoot or a...

True.

It seems like everything is discontinued or out of stock. If it is not an Anytone Radio it seems like everything is discontinued or out of stock. Those few things that are available are stupid expensive for what is being offered! Is this all due to Covid-19 and how badly China handled it?

I should not have called it plug n play. I just meant that it was designed by RCI for Galaxy Radio's. If I get 3 bands for $35 I will be thrilled if I manage 8 for $35 that would be fantastic as well. I have not rulled out DDS-VFO or like. I do like options though. I have been really good...

You would think a human implantable device would have to be shielded better than most consumer goods fromt he 1980's and 1990's though!

I heard guys come over PA at resturants, over cordless phones, TV's, powered computer speakers. That was back in the 1990's though.

It is not affecting the SWR of the antenna system it is a tunning issue with your amp. Builders would call this "reflect" but it is the same as having an antenna system that is not tuned properly. Usually it is just a matter of tuning capacitence but some designs it is also inductance to a very...

So unless I am very badly mistaken it appears that the 86V has the built Freq Counter and a channel board. I was looking at this about 15 minutes ago and I think the channel board was something like EPT0004410.. I do not recall if it had an A or Z at the end. Please do nto quote me though since...
