Galaxy 98 VHP question.
- Thread starter King Mudduck
- Start date
200 watts is the safe zone. The DX98VHP will run about 250 watts full smoke but not for very long. You'll soon hear a loud pop, smell some smoke and then be calling me on the phone.
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
HAHAHA
I just swiitched out the amps from the Connex on to the 98VHP.
It's an awesome setup.
LOL lets see how long this post stays up. LOL
I guess I shouldn't be giving out this secret. LoL
Oh well, I don't think to many people will be doing this mod. Since It would take alot of money to buy both radios.
Whose crazy enough to do that. LOL But if you already have both radios. HMMMM?
Don't do it. It's not worth it. LOL. Wait till the new radios come out and buy one of them.

Yeah roger on that. but that must be cool to have. I know you will be the only one with the 4 pill galaxy. HAHAHA
73's

Yeah... That's what I think. Very cool.
It's nice to have the only one out there. LOL
Bragging rights for a few months. LOL
Yep until the "next best thing" comes out and everyone goes RACING around to buy one. So they dont have to buy a linear anymore and they can just buy a radio with a linear built in.
yeah roger that. Who needs a huge linear. 450 to 600 watts gets you out just fine.
anything bigger would have to be a 16 pill to get a 6db gain or 1S unit.
That's what I was thinking, Ray. No new design with 2879's...just use the existing amp from the 4300-300 and slap it on the 98VHP...call it a DX99XHP (XHP = eXtreme High Power), and we have our new radio we've all been waiting for. Galaxy's creme of the crop. It would sell like hotcakes.
Seriously Ray...we'd rather have that one now then wait forever for the 2879 model that has been put on hold indefinately.
What would set it apart would be a built-in noise filter, because there isn't one on the market that has an amperage rating high enough that would work with it.
Just a thought
I couldn't be more disinterested in the Connex 4300-300...basic crappy looking radio, small meter, no freq counter, no sideband...yuk. But a Galaxy with the same amp? Now THAT'S a radio!
Man, I have hundreds of posts here, but shows I'm a newb. Weird. Something must have gotten reset.

Yes it would. i like your idea for a name but they already had a 99V
maybe it would be time to go with a 3 digit number
like the GALAXY DX400XHP (for 400 watts)
Why isn't anyone talking about the new RCI-63FFC4 already listed on ranger's website. This radio is advertised as a 400watt radio with (4) 2879 Toshiba transistors in it. This will be the undisputed king of the mass production radio, so does that mean Galaxy will have to scramble to put out a similar model? I believe many radio junkies will hope so! Although, I did see forum member 4600 turbo beat Galaxy to the punch by converting his 98VHP to a 4 big pill making his the biggest Galaxy radio in the world!!! WAY TO GO 4600 TURBO!!!
I emailed RCI to see when this radio will be available and they responded back and stated it will not be out till later in march. Here is the link for this radio...
