    I just finished re-capping my 2950. All seems fine except I noticed a tone a bit like the one you are injecting. It's only (mostly only) making the tone on 27.599. Tapping the can L17 creates some reverb. I'm wondering if it self oscillating somehow. Is this normal to find a tone like this and just needs re alignment. Perhaps it was there before but I don't think so. The only cap I didn't replace was the non polarised 1uf 50V kinda close to this can. I took the NP cap out buy realising I didn't have a NP cap I put it back in. Is it possible that reversing it's direction caused an issue even though it's a NP? I'm going back in to re-solder around that zone, I'll spin the cap back around and perhaps check the soldering to the can L17. I'm thinking perhaps the PLL needs re-aligning after wax became melted during soldering etc but I was gentle and nimble. Hmmm.

    I have an HR2510 that I did the 11 meter mod myself with the trace cut and jumper method, it's stock other than that and the LED display replacement. When I hook it to the meter, I deadkey at 4 watts but has little or no swing from audio. I really need someone to go through it and find the possible issue. I live in NYC and have brought it to a few people but they had no testing equipment so I wasn't about to leave my precious radio with them. Could you maybe contact me with a rough idea of what it would cost to take a look at it for me? Thanks! :)

    Might be a dumb question, but here goes. I just bought a used 655hpc, already converted. Love it. Band A starts at 25- something and Band J goes up to 30- something. CB range sits nicely on Band D. My question is.. what was this configuration out of the box? Published ad material says a 655 is a 10 meter, 28-29 mhz. This all looks so perfect now, a-e, f-j, etc. What did this look like before conversion? Thanks, 7-3.

    I have a problem with my 955 and hopefully you might can help me. I did the 11 meter conversion sometime ago and it has been working fine. I soldered the jumper on and held down the function and color buttons and switched it on, rotated the channel selector to HF, turned off and back on and all was good. However, some how when I was trying to modify a roger beep using the software and programming cord I have inadvertently switched the radio back into Ham mode. Everything thing looked good before I wrote the new program to radio but when I turned it off and back on it was back in Ham mode. Then I attempted to put it back into HF mode the same way I did the first time but I'm not getting the Ham / HF option anymore. The odd thing about it is that I can still get the 11 meter band but only when the VFO switch is selected. It's not really a big deal but I can no longer select channels by number but now by frequency only. It takes alot of turns to go from say 26.965 to 27.205. Luckily I can still shift the frequency jump from 1K to 1M with the function button. Sorry for the long post, I'm just trying to give you all the information on what went on. If you have any idea on how to get the radio back into HF mode I would appreciate if you can help. Thanks

    Several years ago I purchased one of these. Stock, it drifted too badly to be of any use to me. My basement is not really heated and temp can range from 16C to 22C, and exacerbated thermal drift. Eventually, I replaced the crystals and the crystal tuning network with a thematically controlled frequency generator, which I control with a microprocessor. Now I stay right on frequency. I do not use the internal switching power supply as it generates way too much heat, as Galaxy has provided no way to get rid of the heat. One day, if I can figure out a way to neatly punch holes in the outer casing, I'll add an extract fan. I do not like modifying the clarifier to address the drift issue as then, "everyone " is off frequency, I prefer to fix the cause. Thanks for the video.

      There is an NPC switch on the radio that limits or opens the peak wattage. They are really clean at about 40 watts peak, but with a few adjustments 50 watts can be achieved and the waveform is still clean on the oscilloscope. They are decent radios for the price but I personally have no desire in owning one. 73

(like it would with talkback) SSB is not affected. Someone who wasn't 100% sure said it's one resistor added. But I don't know if they meant a resistor was added that caused the issue, or one should be added to make it go away. If I knew I could likely do it myself but I have no idea where to start. Person I got it from said it was "working fine and in great shape when he stopped using it last year" which is likely bullshit considering the condition it's in! It probably has been tampered with at some point, there is a non factory drill hole in the back but no switch or wires there. thanks!
