Hello all, I was installing a galaxy II that I picked up some years ago. I tested it out with the base antenna and it seemed to work fine despite the added "swing mod" which I don't really know much about, other than they're frowned upon from what I've read.
As I was hooking up the power cord...
Yes, the walkie talkie takes those type of crystals. Forgive my ignorance, but I have a galaxy II that has FM mode, which I'd like to be able to use the Lafayette with on FM. Does that make sense? Found these crystals on eBay ..
So I've been looking around the www for this radio as well as the Magnum, but not finding any. Could you recommend a similar radio with the same functions? How's the anytone 5555? Thanks

Thanks guys for sharing your knowledge. When I key the mic it does register, but no modulation. The white wire is not soldered to anything, and the yellow is snipped.
There was some cotton wadding around the element, what do you replace that with? Thanks again!
That's really weird about eBay. I've seen sellers with much more sales and positive feedback than him and 1 or 2 negative ones. Every time I've had an issue on eBay they have resolved it. Even when a seller sent me some scratched up sunglasses and wouldn't respond to me. eBay gave me a full...
