Thank you Matt for setting up my X9 it is the loudest radio in my neighborhood Great Job I will be Back With my cobra 148f see ya soon Dr Jeckell in GA 73's
That is one good lookin radio! Galaxy/Ranger…looks like they FINALLY came out with a good one right out of the box! Can’t wait for you to tinker with my 66 I sent to you! Keep up the outstanding work my friend 😎
@@jordanjacobs2440 I figured…🤦♂️. It’s just a pain in the ass in the big truck. Regardless it’s such a nice radio. I have a 955 Stryker. It’s a beast too. It’s too menu driven not that’s a bad thing. Pretty sure I have it sold for $550.
Wow! I am impressed and depressed. Impressed, because the ranger line always disappointed me. The worst thing; the old boards would crack. They could not take the pounding of a big rig. Then there was the quality control issues. Looks like they have begun to address these shortcomings. Depressed, because I cannot justify another radio at this point. I really like this one. Quickly becoming a radio of choice for this old timer. You are progressing. Gaining usefull and valuable knowledge, by a willingness to fiddle a little. Altering the routing on the power wires was radical, but righteous, Matt! Still smilin' and dreaming, I'm off the key. 😑🦗
Nice looking radio but, it only has a five digit frequency counter. A six digit frequency counter is preferred for SSB operations. I would seriously consider owning one of these if it had a six digit counter. Anytime I see a SSB radio with only a five digit counter, I move on.
How much would it cost Canadian dollars for the one you just did a video on ? Beautiful rig , I’m here in western Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦 thank you and thanks for sharing 73’s
Why is this one doing more average power even with a lower carrier than the RCI99n2’s you’ve done? The 99n2’s averaged like in the mid to high 30’s but had more peak by like 100 watts, shouldn’t they have more average power also?
Do they have mosfets or bipolars in the amp section? And how stable are they on sideband every Galaxy mobile that I have owned in the past I named it The drifter because it will not stay on frequency on sideband
Nice radio!

Awesome!! Glad to hear it..thanks for the support 👍
Nice test. Nice equipment. A nice clean setup! This is nice change to see proper testing, with calibrated equipment. Keep it up! (I want and X9 now!)
Thanks Matt for setting up my radio 🇺🇸😎
Your very welcome my friend 👍🇺🇲💪

Thanks Chris! Yea no complaints really with this one yet. Has everything one would want and in a compact package. I appreciate ya watching 👍
@@TheRadioGarage The only “bad” part is you have to hook it directly to the battery right?
Yes hook up directly to battery! To put out power it needs power!

Good looking radio....
Sure is and it's not menu driven either!! 😁
Great looking radio
Awesome....
Thanks Sonny!
Déjà vu, Sometimes I have
That is a nice looking radio. Great video.
Pretty sure that ones for a guy I turned on to you. This is Lloyd Thomas.
It's for Miles. He has been waiting a while, so not sure. Thanks for watching 👍
Very nice . Will work great by itself or hitting a clean built 4 pill I have . Maybe Santa might just hear me 🤔
I do you believe you are correct sir! You gotta get your name on that nice list 👊
Mines coming soon
Thanks Rod 👍
Thinking I'm going to like this on SSB receive for those late night qso's
👍🏻👍🏻
Is the installation going to be similar to any other RCI? They don't have the installation instructions for the x9 on the website
Similar yes but must be able to do smd soldering

Awesome! Thanks for sharing
What’s MD1?
Is that radio the same size as a cobra 29 LTD
Yep I would say just about the same size or very close to it. Thanks for watching.
What do you like better the x9 or the 99 n2 ring to decide between these two
Tough choice. They are very similar. Comes down to if you want that extra output power of the n2
How much would it cost Canadian dollars for the one you just did a video on ? Beautiful rig , I’m here in western Newfoundland Canada 🇨🇦 thank you and thanks for sharing 73’s
I would have to look into it. Thanks for watching.
@@TheRadioGarage ok that be great thank you sir!! Would love to get one

Has a top gun md-1 installed. That's why it's doing more avg power.
@@TheRadioGarage Gotcha. Didn’t think it would make that much of a difference. Thanks.
@@TheRadioGarage Curious to see how it would do in the 99n2 then.
Do they have mosfets or bipolars in the amp section? And how stable are they on sideband every Galaxy mobile that I have owned in the past I named it The drifter because it will not stay on frequency on sideband
Will the expansion e-chip that works in the 2970N2 work in this radio?? We don't have any shops around here close by
Doesn't need an e-chip.
Is this best in !mobile or can it be used base without disrupting my wife's audio system
I don't see any reason why you would have a problem running it as a base.
What does 300 percent modulation sound like compared to normal 90 to 100 percent modulation?
