SOURCE: Lost channels in a galaxy 66v cb radio

as far as the transmit frequency changing while you have the mic keyed this is normal, the transmit frequency is a little different than the receive, as far as the lost channels go you need to check the galaxy website and check to see if thier is any fixes listed. if none is listed then you can send the tech's a e-mail and tell them your problem and they will advise you on what to do.

oh, that's nothing, just a faulty meter, take it to a radio repair store and have them rewire it, happened with my Galaxy DX 2517, just don't try to do it yourself ok. Another thing, you do realize the lower your SWR, the better your radio's perforomance?

Hi there!!

It looks like your problem would be your Voltage regulator has either went bad or if your radio is mounted in a truck that vibrates alot then one of the three legs of the Voltage regulator has broke loos from the board. If you do not have experiance in electronics or soldering you should let a Radio Tech. do it for you or you could damage the radio!!! If you choose to do it your self then you must disconect from power then take the covers off of the radio. Turn the radio up side down and look inside the radio you will see the PC board has many compnents inside and beside each one there is a letter and numbers followed by the letter. look to your right and you will see a smaller PC board mounted to the right side with 2 screws to the out side of the chassis. Remove the 2 screws and carfully move the board out of the way so you can see the main PC board. Look down on the right edge of the main PC board and you will see a small black transistor with 3 legs on it the number on the PC board is TR41 when you find it turn the radio over and inspect the 3 legs that are soldered to the PC board and look for a crack or loose solder joint if you find one resolder it or resolder all three legs. If there is indeed a crack or bad solder joint then resoldering it should bring it back to life again!! If not then you may need to replace it with another one!! There is another transistor not to far fron the voltage regulator that may have went bad too it is TR40 that works with the regulator but is unlikely the problem but you never know. Try TR41 first it should fix it for ya. Feel free to E-mail us with any other questions that you may have at: [email protected]

Thanks Dennis

Try replacing TR41 (2SA473).
Also check TR40 (2SC945), D78 (7.5 volt Zener Diode), and D79 (KB 262).

How to set swr galaxy dx 949

you do not "set" swr.you cannot set it on the radio. the radio can tell you what yourswr is. it can take an swr measurement. swr has to do with the antenna system. in order for the radio waves to radiate from the antenna properly, the physical length of the antenna must match the length of the radio waves. if the antenna is too long or too short you will have a higher swr ratio. the higher the ratio the less energy will leave the antenna. but that energy needs to go somewhere, so it goes back into the radio which causes damage and can ruin a radio.

first turn the channel to 20. then switch the meter switch to CAL. then key the radio. while keyed, turn the CAL knob up until the needle in the meter gets right to the CAL Mark. next flip the meter switch and key the radio. where ever he needle is, is what your swr is.if it is more the 1.5 that's getting high. if its over 2 you are in the danger zone. if its over 3 you are damaging your radio. you must repeat the calibration proceedure for every channel.to figure out weather your antenna is too long or short, you compare the swr readings from channel 1 and ch 40. if the swr is higher in 1 then on 40 the entenna is too short. if its higher on 40 then 1 its to long.

What should lite up on this radio, on mine just the channel number lites up. Is that right ? Thank you for your time.

The meter and the channel indicator should light up. You can purchase a 12 volt wheat lamp at Radio Shack to replace the burned out bulb in the meter. Dont know how technical you are, but, those lights are pretty easy to change. Just follow the wires that lead to the meter. There will be 2 sets. One that solder to two little tabs on the back of the meter (these control the needle movement) and another set that lead to the bulb. The bulb basically just slides into a little square hole in the side/back of the meter. Good luck. Hope this helped. Lost Jeep, Athens GA, 10-7 !!

My galaxy 959 meter light does not light...is there a fuse for this?

No its a bulb and the radio has to have the face pulled down to reach the 4 screws to replace it.
