A buddy of mine offered to sell me a Galaxy 225 for $125.
The internet doesn't seem to have much to say about these things, though. I get the impression that this is an older amp.
What I have gathered (but can't verify the accuracy) is that, even though the logo on its blue face LOOKS like the Galaxy logo, Galaxy actually had nothing to do with its production or distribution. I also gather that it's a clone of the Palomar 225, which actually has nothing to do with the Palomar company.
Has anybody here got any experience with these things? If so, what can you tell me about them?
One specific question that I had; I did see something that suggested that this amp would automatically switch to SSB mode if you were operating SSB... any truth to that?
I haven't bought the thing, yet, but it is in my possession; my buddy said to try it out before I buy it. I have not hooked it up yet, though. Figured I'd ask about it, first, in case there was something that I should know about.
Thanks, in advance.
