Great-- Came with the box.!

You should have gotten the president Washington mobile radio it's the same thing as the Washington base radio

Those super star mics work really good

$600 plus for JUNK! A uniden \ president Washington In good to nice condition for $125 - $250, will IMO Out perform the 29. Everything offered on the 29 Can be added to a Washington, if you Absolutely need the bells & whistles. I operate A president, Madison, and Keep a Washington for backup. It's been 10 years since I've had The Madison Recapped an aligned and, It's been issue free since If you're going to pay $600 plus for a brand new transceiver, there should be a good amount of Quality control And it's obvious there is none of that Going on at RCI. There are several things that seem to be wrong with this brand new transceiver. I'm not about to list those issues. It's those reasons I called it junk. Of course it's just my option.

I love these old units. I don't remember seeing this one, but it's like finding a Granada in a garage under a cover. You just don't see those anymore. 😂

Feel free to ask me questions about the 1000GTL repair tips. I’ll try to answer them for the next few weeks if I have a chance. From R50 failure to D13 problems? Finals and more…

Great vids, love your channel brother.

First!

If you really like the 29 you can always drop in the DDS vfo and completely stabilize any drift plus never have to worry about clarifier range, but...... then the price just went up A LOT

Is it just me or do most of the surface mount radios seem to have an excessive amount of white noise in the recieve? I like these units and kinda wanted one but, a local friend bought one of those exact radios from a well known shop in Florida if that rings a "Bell"... The recieve pot on the board was cranked at 100% and made it a miserable listening experience. Also the trap coils were spread out lie a copper rainbow to make it appear to do more PEP and it would bleed several channels until we addressed the issue.

When Ranger first came out with their RCI2950 I bought one and used it as a base station. I loved that thing! Now I'm old and on a fixed income so the best I can do is watch and drool now. Thanks for sharing!

Chinese chips!!!!! Wait for " dragon day" when china calls usa on debt 30trilion of the 37 trillion union debt

😎👊🍻

Ahhhh!! , 1 1 1 GUY ! Great demo of filter& my DX 2950 dose not seem as bright green as your display & others I have viewed.

Looking forward to more videos to come. Happy Birthday to the little one!

Nice

HELLO FROM WEST BELFAST

Can you put larger finals in these radios? Thank you

I had one of these about 35 years ago when I was a kid. I built a home made antenna and I could talk a really long ways with it. Lots of fun on that thing. Mine also reset to channel 19.

Good job. I also got one for free and it does not generate any signal. I assume that it is because the PLL does not lock. The unlock light is always on. Can you tell me what board you had to fix for this issue? They are not numbered the same as in the manual I was about to find (I have an early serial number). If your problem was with the unlock detector, I can see a board that looks like this with led lights on it. Did you have to fix anything other than changing electrolytics on it?

I do have transmit but very high will not modulate any ideas

Can you get me a am regulator and a q 67 parts

Thanks for the review

I have just about the same radio with no modulation on a.m. will transmit on upper and lower sideband radio itself is doing one quarter wt swinging 1

I think magnum was a few years before Stryker, I have 2 magnum delta force, I love the magnum, I really like the s,9 also,to bad we can't get the any more, I like it better than the galaxy 99 ,but they were and still are great, I worked on them in Houston years ago off i- 10 around the key truck stop ,had a lot of good customers there, Dr. Who was my handle 😅😅😅

I have the Dx-2547. My shack is unheated so temperature variation has been an issue, and this exacerbates DX-2547 drift. I was always off frequency. I don't like unlocking the clarifier because then "everyone" gets off frequency, so I fixed the cause. I removed the original crystals, and crystal tuning networks, and replaced them with a thermostatically controlled frequency generator, controlled by a microprocessor. I am #bang on" frequency now. The rig sounds good on the air, and receives well. One of the other commentators said that local received transmissions are distorted. This is true, especially when the Op to 2km away , running 100watts. The DX-2547 receive is very sensitive on SSB. I do not use the internal power supply as it generates too much heat, and Galaxy has provided no way for the heat to easily escape. Sucks! Out the the box, the Galaxy DX 2547 is not really usable. Once it's modified to fix frequency drift it works very well.

you are able to convert all if you really wish too

Great video. Great critique of both radios. Thank you!

Just wondering can you put in a 5kc switch ? Like we had in the good old days ?

My unit has white background with black lettering.

I would have loved to have seen the power supply conversion. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! 73'

Hey DX-Rev. Its cool you just put this video up a couple of months ago. I have the same radio that I saved from the dumpster. It came out of an old straight truck. It's nowhere near as good condition at the one in the video... It's scratched and is missing a knob but the interesting thing is that mine is not exactly like yours. Mine doesn't have the knob on the back. I think you said yours is for talkback. Mine has a white ticker covering the hole in the case. Another difference I noticed is that the knob on the front closest to the channel selector knob is labeled A.M.T on mine. I really do not have any knowledge of 10 meter radios. My cb radio knowledge is limited to the couple different truck stop radios I have used on the road. If you would like, I'd be happy to send you some pictures of mine. Cool video bud!

Want to sell any of those old radios cb

I'd be livid to get a new radio that was scuffed like that from the factory. I won't even comment about the issue with the fan, or the clarifier not being centered. Not impressed at all....

A dead-on 10 MHz frequency counter will jump back and forth between 9.9999 and 10.0000 MHz because that's the point where a digital display reads exactly on a given frequency. That's the cross-over point between digits and as close as it can read between digital steps. To get the display to simply sit on 10.0000 you would want to feed it a frequency like 10.00003 MHz.

I've always thought that the same thing with these radios about the 6 digit counter.

I don't like the color changing LEDs I don't have them in my radios and I never will have them in my radios as that saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it just saying 73s

Which button

Hey, what does that button do?

I'm getting ready to attempt my first ever recap' on my Washington 858... What filter cap did you use on your power supply. I was just going to replace it with the 3300pf that I found in it... How much bias changing did you end up messing with when you put the 1969 in? Was it a Mitsubishi or one of the Hg's? I liked and followed because you are easy to listen to and I am finding your content very helpful! 73 de KF4LBG "Saltshaker " North Florida

Does this have cb channels out of the box?

I want to get back into Citizen band thank you for your honest opinions

You want another one? Got one setting here.

As long as people continue to pay the price that the radio sells for, Ranger will continue to be around.

Great Radio!

but is stable on SSB

Is this puppy for sale? I dont like the new ones that say "dual band amateur radio" on top. Thanks. You had me dead @ 1:57!

All those CB Base Stations back in the day was awesome. Big brand names to the almost unknown. My father was into CB in the 60's and owned a few different radios. His favorite old base 23 channel radio was the - USL Contact 23A. Never cared for the CB trucker lingo stuff and all that, but liked evening rag chewing on AM. So many companies building radios back then. They wasn't all that cheap either. I paid $550.00 for mine in 1978. I liked to talk skip (ssb dx'ing) on the upper channels. I like this radio better then those RCI 69's and the likes .. 2995++ and etc. This one has an uncomplicated clean, but sharp look to it. It looks a bit like a piece of test equipment. :) Would like to see more companies build bases instead of just mobiles. Nowadays its like mtd and the mowers.

I never understood the need for a channel display and a freq counter. One or the other is fine.

Mine has received Rodger b works no RF power know what's coming out of the radio
