galaxy DX959 display problems

[bleedblue]

first off hello, i'm new here and pretty new to the CB world, i had a few as a teenager but they were nothing special, cobra 21 and a cobra 29LTD.

i'm now interested in the big guns of cb's.

i just ordered up a galaxy DX959. and after mounting and hookup. when i turned the radio on (first i had no lights) upon pushing the dimmer button the 1-40 channel lights lit up but not the frequency counter. and looking at the radio closer the meter light is also out. and on top of that the dimmer knob will not dim down (the only lights that are on.)

other than this one problem, the radio works fine, picked up a passing trucker at about 3 miles out, and he and I were loud and proud at 25 miles where he stopped at the truckstop.

any help would be great.

Send it back; or send it to Galaxy. It should be warranty with whomever you bought it from. Call them and let them know what the situation is.

If you or anybody else opens up the radio and breaks the warranty seal - all bets are off . . .

thats what i figured i was going to have to do.

and there is no warranty seal on it. i've looked it over hard deciding if i should pull the lid and check for a loose wire somewhere.
