this radio is a ham radio.It should put out 200 w on the ham freqs but it is only supposed to put out no more than 4 - 5 watts on am. Can do 50 on SSB and if you bought it without realizing it,and now you\'re mad because it won\'t do what it is supposed to. next time read the small print and you won\'t be out so much money.

radio not working or working when hot? you need to buy a can of Mr. freeze. feel around inside the radiowith your fingers to find the hot spot. Shoot some Freeze on it to see if your radio come on.If it does ,. change the component and your radio should work ok.

when you got it didn't they include a key in the box? take it to a tech and let him do it.

do you have power to the unit? check with a multimeter to see if you have power to the board.If you do then flex the board to see if the radio recieve comes on.If it does then take it to a tech to have him trace it down as to what it is.

if you are on a power supply the move it away from the transmitter.if it is an a/c trans then you may need to replace some filters inside .

don't tell me .They mated and had a Galactalab ii . you know you people come to this site to ask a question and then only ask.......

some one played with their radio???? If you have no idea what you are doing then take it to a tech.He will know exactly what to do.

from an old parts radio. you should see mine,I have three different types of knobs on it.

go to www.cbtricks.com they have the information you seek.

how high or low . As long as its not in the red basically you are ok but how high on the radio and how low on the meter? the one to believe is up to you but I would believe the meter.

yes it will work

problem lies within the radio and if you have to ask then you are not certified to do the work.Find a tech to do it.He has all the equipment and the know how.

is this a new radio , if so send it back to Galaxy . You have a 3-5 yr warrenty on it.They do the work you pay S/H

some turn to the right and the rest turn to the left. What exactly are you trying to do? Adjust the knobs from inside the radio? some yes others no.Depends on WHAT KIND OF RADIO?

buy a noise toy so as you don't mess up your radio installing one.A noise toy will just plug to the back of you radio and your mic should plug into it.You can buy them for about the same price as a board and when you get rid of the radio the noise toy can come with you but you have to leave the other one installed.

try a different mic.flex the board make sure its not cracked.check it with an SWR meter to make sure its not doing anything.flex the board to see if any noise comes through.Search and you will find what the problem is.I cannot explain how to but I can do it.

look around on the board there has to be some markings as to where the wires go.Look to where the cord came in and those contact points can't be far from the enterance point.

you have your mic gain wide open and to close to the internal or external speaker.SQUEEEEEEELLLLL.. Try a different mic to see if it still happens.

don't play with the dimmer switch Could be a cold solder on the switch check it out.Get a multimeter and check out he power being supplied to it too.

every day? can you add more info.. the more noise on the RX end will make the needle higher then the TX setting so if this is a noisey day and you have 3-9 s-units on the rx yes a needle will drop. without having a watt meter to see if your power is dropping when you TX is different.. add a inline watt meter and make sure you have a decent power source. and TX and see what it is showing for wattage. if it drops then check power supply first make sure its giving enough amps. then next chk swr's and radio..
