It sounds like you either have a mis-matched antenna, a poor antenna connection, or your radio is too close to the antenna. Try moving the radio further away from the antenna.

SOURCE: galaxy dx-66 squeals on talkback

timspur, hi. First off, using the talkback with a tuned Galaxy will give you problems, so you need to use a good noise cancelling mic like a RK 56, or Astatic 636. If your running an amp, that will only amplify the problem. Here is a mod if your comfortable working on your radio, to tone down the TB volume.
******
Talkback can become distorted if these radios have been "peaked," and there is no cure because the talkback just amplifies what goes to the RF section. Try adding a 470k ohm resistor from junction of C155/R207 to the junction of C187/R235 on the solder side of the board. This will also give you clean talkback on SSB and FM. Try different values of resistance to get the amount of volume you want. The less the resistance the louder the talkback will be.**
Hope this was what your looking for,, I know for a fact that the Astatic mics do help tone it down.

SOURCE: Galaxy 95T

check SWR's check to make sure ALL coax connectors are tight. and if still doing it. may be loose connection in board. but the export style radios go crazy like that when coax is loose or have bad grounds. due to there floating ground circuit design. there not the same as a cobra were its case is ground.

SOURCE: my galaxy dx 66v when

make sure the mic connector board is not touching anything inside. if it is not.. below it is a diode for the TX/RX.. replace it with 2 914 diodes and should work again.. 99% of the time..

My galaxy 3 keep s pinning I don't know how to turn it off

Pinning? Do you mean it's feeding back/squealing through the speaker? Turn the mic gain down and that will help.

How do i set my galaxy dx 88 hl so the talkback is on all the time

turn the talkback knob to the right and push it in to engage talkback.when you get the volume you want leave it alone .Now key the mic.You will probably hear a squeal coming from the speaker.Now turn the volume down on the talkback knob until the squeal goes away.If you run your RF gain wide open it may squeal also.

Cb works but there is no sound

turn volume and mic gain half way up, plug in an external speaker into the PA jack, flip PA switch and key up, if it doesnt squeal your audio final is blown or it could be so simple as mic wired wrong or broken wire. try another mic.

My radio is a Galaxy DX 98. It squeals when I key up

change "MIC" to a factory,or turn back Mic gain. Mic can short out or may have too much gain(power mics). Use standard dead Mic that was designed for radio. If that does not help,it may be inside radio, wires on MIC connectors need soldered again(make sure they don't touch th eothers.

My radio quells back when my mic gain is turn up more than about quater way

sounds like a faulty "MIC" or bad knob inside radio. Your radio may have too much gain. Try using a ordinary straight "MIC" . Some radios are tuned to operate with a straight mic. If you use a "Power Mic" it may be too much gain and cause a squeal. Impedance of the mic must be matched. If its a 500 ohm use only 500 ohm. If its an 1000 ohm use only 1000 ohm "Mics". A straight factory Cobra mic(Coffin mic) has gave me the best performance I have ever used on a Cb radio. I can talk 50 miles on straight mics.

I have a uniden grant and i have wired a galaxy power desk mic with rogger beep when ever i key it up it squeals was wondering is there a way to fix that

yeah your mic gain is way too high. You can either turn off talk back if you can, or turn the gain down. Depending on how loud the talk back is, your audio may suffer. If that is the case, you will not be able to run that mic. Get an RK-56 or a Skythumper mic. They are noise canceling. You will get no squeal with that mic, and it will sound awesome.

If you really want a roger beep, take it to a tech and them install one.

I have a dx98vhp and it sqeels* when i key up when the talkback is on. I've tried adjusting the power and i can't figure it out. Thanks

the talkback is too loud. there is no way to adjust the talkback volume on this radio. Talkback is really just so you can check how your audio sounds and your echo. Once it set, there is really no need to have it on.

Turning down the gain on your mic will stop the squeal.

the squeal is cause by feed back from audio from the talk back being heard from the mic.

Check it with the external speaker unpluged, turn the mike gain down a little at a time, until it does not squeel. ..hope this helps..
