    Galaxy II damaged during install. Repair shop recommendation

    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...

    Question about FM crystals in an AM radio

    Thank you for your responses! It totally makes sense. I was skeptical when I read that you could just swap the crystals.

    Question about FM crystals in an AM radio

    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

    Question about FM crystals in an AM radio

    I've been reading a bit online about FM crystals working in AM radios. Can anyone chime in on that? I have a vintage Lafayette 5w 3 channel walkie talkie that I'd love to use with my galaxy ii. If it's not possible, can you recommend a handheld radio that would work and not crazy expensive? It's...

    Noisy radio, is this normal?

    My new (eBay purchased) president Washington seems noisy. Not as much so on AM, but SSB with or without NB/ANL it's loud. It has the Expo 100 kit, don't know if that affects anything. Also doesn't matter if it's day or night, amplifier / power supply on or off, location of radio, or proximity...

    Thoughts on this repurposed Browning?

    I think the guy did a pretty good job making it look like a period piece. Not for the purest for sure. Why would the 23 channel be useless? I read somewhere where there are some clubs who use vintage 23 channel rigs. I'm kinda partial to the vintage stuff, but do like to have the 40 channels. I...

    Thoughts on this repurposed Browning?

    I thought the eBay auctions forum was for discussing auctions that were ending soon. Anyhow I went there to see if anyone was talking about about or had seen this: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=141601778918&alt=web

    D104 mic wiring?

    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!

    Beware of superhawkwss6 on Ebay

    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...
