Hello, how does the Galaxy Saturn Turbo compare to the other ham base rigs in tx, rx and overall performance?



Thanks, Hossless

hey hoss the saturn turbo is a good rig same as 2527 or 2517 in recieve transmit to turbo has the edge because of the the built in kicker, but then again a well tuned 2527 will bury a turbo also turbos have had know power supply problems, also with no stock fan the kickers generally dont last long add a fan kit and that solves that problem, but at 400 for a good used one you can get a nice used kenwood for that, the turbo is a good all around radio and performs as good as any rci or galaxy base rig, but doesnt com close to touching hf rigs in tramsit and recieve quality................



take care cdx-781

Thanks Nightrider, looks like a good used Kenwood is going to be in my future, as soon as I can sell some stuff.

Re: saturn turbo

Hook, TripleJ, I thought the Kenwood transceivers were superb am rigs, besides being excellent on ssb? Can't they be modified to work 11 meter also?? If so, why would one need another radio?



Thanks, Hossless

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
