I like to use FM for calibration personally.

You seem to have misread. My SWR rises to 3 on dead key and falls with modulation. But thanks for playing.

Thanks for the info. It's just wrong with a brand new $1200+ CAD amplifier that I compare to my friends earlier model with DEIs also, works with such a low SWR on my station; I need to do anything but enjoy DX with it. I looked inside the cover of his unit to see if there were any variable...

No, it comes with a notice from Copper that they do not accept returns. If there is any trouble with the unit it must be returned to Texas Star for service.

Yes sir I do believe you are correct. This is 2 for 2 Texas Star amps in the past 6 months, the 667V and now the new DX 1600X are defective out of the factory. I had a fellow operator drop by my shack today with his identical but silver faced amp and plug it in to my station and it ran a 1.2...

No, I just use one of those ferrite clip on the coax type. No wraps.

No, the issue is not solved yet. I'm driving with 100w SSB and any lower makes the SWR higher. I use a Dosy after the amp and the meter and tuner in the Yaesu FT450D. I have 3' jumpers with an RF coke at the radio o/p and on on the amp o/p running 3' jumper coax for each. I've tried other...

Thanks Dave. Now if I can only figure out how to do that for 10 meters to it.

I was pleased to get my new Sweet Sixteen in from Copper converted. I do have an issue with SWR with or without it powered though. It puts my radio into a 1.5:1 ratio with it off and with it on it causes the radio SWR to swing to 3:1 unmodulated and 1.5 :1 with modulation. All meters...

Yes Sir, I first checked there. But thanks for the one on the V. I will compare them when I get it home.

I have one of these DX 1600X on the way from Copper and was looking for the conversion details on line to no avail. I'm not sure if it will come ready to run phone in 10/11 meters or not. Anyone have information on this conversion? Thanks.

The Doc rocks. He made it so I won't be deep 6'n it today. Texas Star (Galaxy) should be ashamed of their product & service.

Yes.To low drive at 2-5 W swinging 10-12W PEP SSB and yes to just the rec & power button, no transmit or any other button. And if all I do is touch the L1 coil behind the relay at the end it stops chattering. Mike Hawkins at Galaxy Radio Repair did me no service at all. They are aware of the...

Correction, the chatter is still there when receive amp active.

Well so much for the new Texas Star "Galaxy" repair shop. It was sent back with the same problems on SSB. Tinny modulation & Sounds C class not AB1. The chatter they blamed on a loose antenna connector and they tightened it and yes solved the relay chatter. Im now on my own with this.

Mine does 50 watts out of the box and I like the layout better than the 6666. Glad I bought one. IM looking for info on how to increase the intensity of the knob backlighting and display dimming. The only thing Id like to change.

Chatter, unit cuts in and out and high SWR. Sounds like its in C class mode not AB1 on SSB. Escondido CA.

And in good faith I did get a call from a TS service tech today. Now I must package it well and ship it to California for repair.

Roger that. Shall see how 718 electronics will work it, now that I know better.

So my new 667V came converted but defective from 718 Electronics. I sent the seller a message and he responded that he'd have a Texas Star tech call me on Monday. Defective product does happen, so long as they fix it.
