    Galaxy radios is dead

    It's the other way around, but inside they are nothing alike. The SS-3900, looks like a Cobra148 GTL-DX. Fuck Ranger :)

    Galaxy radios is dead

    Not a chance. I see the made in Malaysia label. QX is Made in China, period. Fuck Ranger.

    Hi Dan, I am looking for SAMS CB, that covers the E.C.I. Courier TR-6. I am not sure if there is one for this model, but I would be interested in the pages that cover the TR-5, which may be similar. If nothing on TR-6, TR-5 is in CB-16. Thanks, SL

    WHATS THE POINT re, QT40

    I personally, think the QT-40 is an amazing radio for what it is. It makes me think of what it would have been like to have it 40 years ago. I would have had one installed iny flying car like the Jetsons.

    How to deal with...?

    Unfortunately, this does happen. I reluctantly tell the customer to bring it back in and I will check it again. However if it's an issue at their station and no trouble is found there will be a diagnostic fee. This typically deters someone from blaming you when it's actually their station which...

    Yihua 948D-I

    I have been using an OK Industries vacuum desoldering station since the late 80's. I also have a Pace MBT. The OKI's I have, were made by Hakko in Japan, for OKI. The technique I use on through hole, is when the solder flows around the tip hole, I rotate the tip around the lead, as I pull the...

    Good for smoke shows, headaches, christmas trees on spectrum analyzers and deep pockets, as they require replacement often.

    Dentron Clipperton L burnt band switch.

    I once had a Clipperton L. I too had bandswitch issues. I would harvest switch contacts from junk box switches and fasten them to the wafer with #2 screws.

    Galaxy radios is dead

    I love 10m and would not want that to happen. BUT......they SHOULD give us the freeband and metal antennas!

    Galaxy radios is dead

    Yep.....Galaxy should have parted company with Ranger a long time ago. I am certain, that Galaxy could have had a competitive product, in today's CB/10m market, had they tried to get out from under the RCI cost cutting quality, with the outrageous price tags and moved on to an OEM like QX. It's...

    Sams PhotoFacts Collection

    In the 70's, I had a Dyna-Com 5a. I would load it up with alkalines. I lived in a beach town at the time. I went to the boardwalk with the Dyna-Com and spoke to a guy in a boat, 90 miles south of where I was. That was amazing! The Dyna-Com was the best WT. I have the 12a and a 23 now. I always...

    Turner JM+2/U (M+2) Schematic Needed or Internal Photo

    The mic is working now. The factory battery label, the transistor and all of the wire colors threw me for a loop! Thank you for the help! SL
