I think the answer to my problem is lack of chassis grounds... I have static in my receive, a lot of it, as in around 7 S-units. I figured it was from a cellphone charger and XM receiver (unplug either one and it subsided). However, I can also simply place my hand on the radio and the noise...

Ground the case??? I had an issue with a 3-pill, and it turned out the case not being grounded caused the issue, may be acting like an antenna instead of an RF shield?? I'm plagued by a unique problem with static...its there, I can touch the radio and it goes away?

I have a couple thoughts: On EBay, a seller could sell something, like an amplifier, to someone in another country where they are legal, right? There are a lot of items that have an "illegal to use", which is different from "illegal to possess." As a forum owner, you would be required to...

They're dropping like flys... Jevic is gone... JB Hunt is hurting and has quit deliveries to the north east...they indicated that if things don't turn around soon (fuel prices) they will be completely out in under two years. Rumors have it both Covenant and Werner (same company?) are...

What I'm getting at is those countries may not have a license, let alone a FCC license?? So if I read your other statement correctly, would that not mean it would be illegal (in most instances) to talk outside the country?

Wouldn't this also fall under "easily modified"? That's just looking at it from another angle... I would wonder what the Hams think of the operators, in every other country, operating "illegally," bleeding over Ham frequencies (although operating legally in their country), they have no FCC...

It was a simple enough question...I thought I was doing it right. Just wanted to verify this with the resident SSB "hecklers", er professionals...

DTB radio, also a forum member, is a certified Galaxy repair guy.

I know of at least two guys running 2x4 amps in 3rd generation trucks without issue?? You can't get much more errant RF than a 2 driving 4 setup...

Found it was the relay...all fixed now, works perfectly!

Any idea of the level?

I guess what would be the next logical question would be...what is considered under driven? Are we talking a couple percent of rated input, or half of the rated input??? And I'm not being smart here, just trying to get a "quantitative" answer on a "qualitative" statement. Wouldn't we be...

I signed up, never get a call?? Been that way for several years.

If it was in the manual, I must have missed it...what I read seemed to indicate it could be used on any of the three bands. Thanks for the responses, that will make it a little less aggravating!

Thanks for the responses...sounds like I'm doing it correctly...more/less. I had DTB Radio do the work...he did some repairs and aligned the entire deal...he is a Galaxy Repair Center, so I assume he knows his game. The radio is working very well under all other conditions... My problem on...

I've heard people...last Thursday EVERY channel was hopping here in PA, all 120 channels had some chatter. Its been a while since I've heard that much chatter... The only thing I've seen is when driving, it might be a PITA to talk, adjust the clarifier, talk, adjust the clarifier, talk...

I just got a Galaxy DX 959, one of its features is a "GNF" or Galaxy Noise Filter which is supposed to reduce the "rushing noise." I've been running it a little, and while it does help quiet things down, over half of the RX transmissions are distorted (like they are seriously over...

I just picked up a DX 959, had it aligned and tuned. My first SSB radio. The Galaxy manual is lacking much detail in SSB operation. A lot of these manufacturers need to take a course in technical writing...and provide better manuals for their junk. As I understand it, its as simple as...

Booty has been reading the same things I have...and I finally said to myself "if it doesn't have enough drive, it won't key the relay". I believe Booty is speaking of transistor-type amplifiers...
