    11 meter is very quiet?

    My friend / 14-mile away neighbor has an "old but goody" A-99 and he has been considering adding the kit.

    DX Radio Shop misleading people

    6/29/2025: Ordered a part for my tractor and pre-paid with a Money Order. 7/3/2025: I received text notification that the shop received the Money Order. 7/6/2025: I received text notification that the part arrived at the shop on 7/5/2025 and it would be shipped-out this week. I assumed July 7 to...

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Almost daily between 0430 and 0800, I've been talking with a nice group of guys on Ch. 30 AM in Orlando, Daytona Beach, Tampa Bay and a few other cities and towns. One person has a A-99 and he installed the Ground Plane Kit after using the stock antenna for a month or two and he has noticed an...

    DX Radio Shop misleading people

    I'm being neutral in this subject because I do not know anything about the ** Radio Shop in New York. I've watched and listened to the video you have attached several times. My interpretation is, when the shop orders the radio and fan kit and installs the fan kit, the serial number of that...

    I agree, and if the buyer is gun-shy about installing the fan kit, ask the Radio Shop to install the fan kit when they convert and tune the radio to the 11 meter band.

    DX Radio Shop misleading people

    Removing labels and installing accessories into a new radio can be intimidating. Purchasing a new radio and the fan kit from a Radio Shop and have the shop install the fans would relieve the stress and concern about warranty issues.

    DX Radio Shop misleading people

    I agree. As you stated, it is a Tamper Seal. If President Radio Company is offering / selling the external fans, the company is aware that the Tamper Seal must be disturbed to connect the wiring harness. I located a video of the external fan / fans and the wiring has "plug and play" connectors...

    He will connect and install the speaker prior to selling the radio? That's not a bad deal. Are we to assume he will apply a new "Warning" decal? If he does, that's not a bad deal also. What is the verbiage on the Warning label? How does the wiring from the fan connect to the internals of the...

    I purchased a new RCI-2995DXHP and had it converted to operate on 11 meters. A swing-kit was installed and the clarifier was unlocked. I was not aware that a swing kit was installed but I was informed prior to placing the order that the clarifier was unlocked. I was informed by the shop that it...

    New Superstar SS88HL (Galaxy DX88HL)

    I sent an email question to a reputable CB Sales and Repair shop asking what needs to be done to correct the drifting on Galaxy radios. Their reply was; "buy a Stryker or Anytone".

    New Superstar SS88HL (Galaxy DX88HL)

    Sounds like a logical explanation. Unlocking the clarifier is sort of a "trick of the trade" to attempt to compensate for drifting and off-frequency? I like my original, factory set 2002 Grant XL and my new, factory set 955HPC+. Just "plug and play"!

    New Superstar SS88HL (Galaxy DX88HL)

    Galaxy offers Truck's to buy 200 radios knowing that Galaxy radios drift. So, more or less, Galaxy sells a product with a known defect which could have been corrected. The customer (understandably) has to pay Truck's to convert it to 11 meters, plus pay another fee to have the radio modified to...

    New Superstar SS88HL (Galaxy DX88HL)

    Why wouldn't Galaxy correct / address the drifting issue with the new 200 radios prior to you purchasing them?
