Snatched yup a Galaxy SSB Melaka at a yard sale for 25$ with a frequency counter thrown in. brought it home tested it and tada it works. got lucky since it is just pre evening and the yard sale was closeing. now I need to make sure its all aligned correctly and nothing has been tampered with. I know you can boost the clarifier but it pooches the side band, so I need to check it out amd make sure no one did anything untoward to the radio.

Anyone have any tips or pointers, or know of any quirks about this radio? I am having a heck of a hard time finding good info on the radio.
any one know the model number for this bertha? all I can find is the serial number 7018131 (which is on a sticker) the only writing on the case is "Galaxy SSB Melaka" I can't find a "dx anything" on the case anywhere am I stupid? I can't even google up any information on it, which is weird.

Can you pull the top cover off and take a good, clear photo of the main board inside the radio? I can probably help you with adjustments and such if you can do that for me.

It is not part of the Galaxy "DX" series of radios and is not suported by them
If I remember right Nochman brothers had that radio made and imported and support was very little.
Pull th e cover and find the main board number... something like a EPT 3600 something and then look for a radio runnig the same board.
Heck for that price if it is working ok I would just talk on it and be happy......what a deal!

Thanks audio, I had already read that though, thats how I knew it could be tweak and ruin the ssb. I need like an owners manual or tech diagrams etc. I cant seem to find the right settings on it to actually hit normal CB band, thats why I think some one tweaked it or something with the freq counter on no matter what channel selector setting I have it on I can't hit the right numbers.
yeah its working just no where near the bands I am allowed to use...... LOL but for the price I can't beat it. now just to get it working right.
I love this new radio. I took it for a short stroll through the Cb freq's, getting used to moving around with out an automatic channel knob. I can't wait to get my ham ticket so I can stroll the 10 and 12meter bands. also tested the SWR on channel "1" and "40". it was spectacular, 1 to1 on 1, and 1.1 to 1 on 40, next I need to tune it to the far ranges of 10 and 12 meters so I can test the SWR there. I have a feeling it will be just fine if its so low right in between the bands.
