New meter tuned up now time for echo and a new roger multi beep an channels.
...
These 959 rigs terrible for bad solder joints been all over this radio chasing solder joints.
Poor Man's Channel Mod is Cool-21 South Carolina
Yessir. Thanks for watching
Very good info 👍 . You’re right, there’s only a few channels above 40 where the sidebanders hang out , and in AM , 26.915 is a nice hotspot I like to fish for skip on
Next fix ,, if you could figure out a mod to make these radios quit drifting , you’d get the Nobel Prize in the CB world . I’d love to have one , if they were stable . Very very frustrating . Great radios , love them for AM , but man , that drift is a pain for everyone . An issue I’m very disappointed in Galaxy for never fixing . If Anytone and Stryker figured it out , why won’t Galaxy ?
Too cheap to is what I figure . What’s your thoughts ? I’m in no way a radio tech so I can’t say much beyond griping about it
Yeah, that’s always been an issue on all these radios. I know there’s a few ways to make it better, but definitely no way to make them anywhere near as stable as the modern anytones and strykers. Definitely just a lack of caring on their part for not keeping up with the times and sticking with the old technology. That’s why I usually unlock the clarifier, which is something I typically don’t do on a good SSB radio.
Yeah just unlock clarifier like mine. Makes it useable on SSB no complaints keeps the clarifier from seizing up 😅
I have not has any frequency drift on my radio.
Just these dang bad solder joints cold solder what ever ...
Seems like every other week or so .
I cant run it as a mobile.
I use it as a base and dont even bother putting screws back in the case.
NICE--@@!! THANKS FOR SHARING ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching! Been enjoying all your videos 🇺🇸
Awesome!!!!
Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Why didn't you just use the cable you unplugged from the board to wire into the switch?
The wires on the plug were tied to the wrong pins on the switch to achieve the channels I wanted.
So it won't do side band without this mod or swirches I'm looking to but one but it has the switches he said was for 10 m but thr chart was 26-27mhz only
@@KE8ODY-WV-Ares-Ham-Dad-3O4 this mod is just for adding additional frequencies… it is a SSB radio either way. To get it on 10 meters would require a different mod. This radio will go up to 27.975 with the full 2 switch mod.
@@udx-294tn5 okay jusy adding channels in the 11 m band I see
Is this the same board as a 949
Yessir. Exact same board.
