Oh My Gosh! I cannot believe this. I opened another Galaxy and it does NOT have J104. I removed it from the radio with the issue (also a new radio) and the problem is resolved. I’ll reassemble and rest everything else to confirm but. Are you kidding me, Galaxy?

I will check it out asap. I’m not very proficient at reading schematics. It’s a slow process for me. Thanks for that. I’ll report back.

Galaxy dx-959 RF Power-Modulation-SWR switch not changing meter functions. The meter function is stuck on Power even when switched to the SWR or MOD position. The switch itself is changing continuity between legs so the switch itself seems to be working. All wires from point A to point B...

Thanks, Groundwire. That’s good info. I think my question is more along the line of, “What is considered a reasonable tolerance for one of these units?”. Assuming warm up and alignment of the other test equipment is spot on, 3k seems drastic. I’m also thinking in terms of its main use of tuning...

Looking at buying one and viewing ads on eBay. Two of the listings show the unit with a frequency counter or a spectrum analyzer. What is considered “within tolerance”? One listing shows the signal is 3,654Hz off. The other listing says it’s “calibrated” but the spectrum analyzer shows...

And I’m just messing with you a little

Still the most reliable cb radio on the market. About 1 in every 2000 comes back for repairs - unless, of course, someone takes the lid off and cracks the ceramic pots.

What, you mean at one time?

Rf gain max. Turn off anl/nb. With volume cranked, do you get any white noise? Normally, I start w/ seeing if moving wires or flexing the board results in the sound coming back. If so, it’s normally pretty easy to track down the problem. If not, there are guys here better at troubleshooting...

Lol yeah it was so simple I couldn’t figure it out either at first.

I feel kind of dumb about this, but not entirely. Both the internal and external speakers were connected when I was replacing the am regulator, driver, and finals. At some point, I think I shorted power to one of the speaker wires. It turns out, I took out my external speaker as well as the...

Not being in front of the radio right now, I’m going to go with the readings I listed originally. Pin 4 6.5v Pin 3 13.8v

Bump?

Radio had very low rx audio and talkback. Now it’s completely gone. Tested the Pa and it has no audio either. Tx is good. Rx is good, according to meter. Please let me know if there is anything other info I can provide to help. Ranger 3600-15C board. Audio chip is the 5 pin 2003. Voltages...

I guess I’ve never thought of this but, if you simply remove the light and keep the peak switch on, will it still draw power and quickly drain the battery?

Doesnt work on this last batch I got in. Arg.

Anyone…?

Something must have changed. I thought the service menu was entered by holding down menu/mode. It no longer appears to be the case. My last batch was purchased 2 months ago. This one was purchased last week. Maybe I’m losing my mind. Does anyone know how to enter the service menu? PS not...

Thanks for the help
