My 66 galaxy works good bit u have to turn dimmer to twelve oclock to get it to go freguency which the channel we run 13 am band 27.1150. the rf power is not nurnering up and down i think these problems are related. we are technical enough to do the work would just like to have expert opinion thanks wiggie and snake eyes

bad swr, extreamly high.Re adjust your antenna for the lowest swr and it should go away. If your galaxy has TB turn it off,that could also be the problem.

Volume/Squelch control: As desired
ETone: Sets the sound of the echo as desired
MicGain/RF Gain control: Normally, leave fully clockwise
Band Switch: for CB, turn all way to left (a/e)
Mode Switch: Selects how you modulate the radio. Normally, you will operate on AM, USB or LSB.
Fine/Coarse control: Changes the frequency you operate on. Normally, set so the frequency counter reading ends in 5. (center slot of the channel).
Buttons:
RB: Roger beep. Turn on or off as desired.
NB/ANL: Noise limiters. Leave on.
Frequency Counter: Turns counter lights on and off.
+10 KHZ: Allows you to get the channels missed by the Channel knob. Normally, leave off.
Power: Selects either high or low transmitter power setting.
Band: Selects band of operation. Low (A-D) or High (E-F)

Hi, Has this radio been converted to CB? Galaxy 44DX is an import. I am going to say it probably has. Turn the third knob to the right to "AM". And the Fourth knob from the left all the way to the left to "E/E"
Here are two links that will explain it all for you as Galaxy imports are a different breed.

Let me know if this helps. I have a Galaxy 99 and is my favorite. Good luck.

you run your **** gain and rf gain all the way to the right. make sure you're on D witch is you basic 40 channels. Run power on high unless you're running a linear then switch to low. echo leave both on about 11 oclock and leave 10k swith off. this will put you between certain channel.

Those adjustments were marked with letters so you could set ant position to any channel, and the channel know was marked A-L as well. The set came with labels you could put into the knob with the numbers.

Associated with each of those adjustment screws should be a small switch, labeled (if I remember correctly...I was a Sears TV tech over 10 years ago and haven't seen one of these sets since then!) VL, VH and UHF. VL is for channels 2-6, VH 7-13 and UHF 14 up. There might also be a little indicator window showing how far up the band you've gone. There may also be a switch marked AFT on/off. If you have that, turn it off to set the tuning and turn it back on when you're done. Put the switch on VL and turn the adjustment until you're tuned to channel 3. You'll know when since you'll see the programming.

I hope I haven't been totally off base. Like I said it's been a while. If this has helped, please feel free to give this solution a good rating. (If not, please feel free to pretend this never happened!)

vol set to audio level you like.
squelch set fully counter clockwise
rf gain. set fully clockwise
rf power around the 8-10 oclock position. too much deadkey will give weak audio.

not sure what band it needs to be on.been awhile since playn with this model.

clarifier set 12 oclock setting.
talkback just to were it doesn't squeal or lower

left to right,Volume,on/off(center) Squelch (outside)2nd knob is mic gain (center) this controls how much adio output you produce.. and rf gain,(outside) This adjust how sensitive the radio recieves.3rd knob is pa/fm/am This sets the radio up for using a public address horn if hooked up, or to transmit and recieve on am (most common) or fm.
The next knob controls what bands o channels you operate on .6 bands of channels with 40 channels each.The next knob controls the amount of echo and reverb you use when you talk.The center controls the echo and the outside controls the speed,or reverb effect.The next knob controls the talk back(so you hear what you sound like on the center control, and the outside controls how much power you put out.The next knob, the biggest one is your channel selector.The push buttons are top l to r are:1 is the dimmer switch for your lights,the middel top is noise blanker and automatic noise limiter. This blanks out a lot of static and outside electrical noise.the last top switch is a roger beep switch to turn it on and off. When it is on you will produce a quick beep when you unkey the mike. This was originally used to let the other people on the bands know you stopped talking.The bottom left shuts off the frequency counter(the numbered display ie27.185,the middle sets the meter to be used as an swr meter or a regular s/rf meter.the last on the bottom will boost the frequencet up100 kilohertz.if you go to the following url you can get more info:http://www.rangerusa.com/.
Hope this helps

Is there a dial marked RX Gain? Does this radio have this feature?

M3ODQ

there are several instances for this kind of problems...
1. may be there is a fault in the dish cable.... just tell ur cable operator to check it once...
2. may be the RF cable from the antenna has some problem...
3. may be the CRT tube is out....
4.may be you have not tunned the channel properly...
5. may be there is problem with the s-band and other bands

i suggest you to just take the technician ......

First, check in the VCR setup and see if it set for cable or off-air/broadcast/antenna (not always named the same).  If it is set for off-air... then it won't tune cable channels beyond 13.  It must be set for cable mode in order to tune those upper channels (mid-band, superband etc.).

I assume you have the VCR hooked up correctly- cable into VCR antenna/RF input, VCR RF/to TV output to the RF/Ant input of the TV.
