OK folks, I think I am going to do some experimenting. Seeing as the Galaxy 949/959's are so drifty, I'm going to do a swap of the varicap diode to see if I can increase the stability a little. I did some research and it seems that Galaxy is using a really cheap varicap diode, and I have a good pull from an old 23 CH. SSB radio. I'm planning on swapping in the new diode and doing a realignment and go from there.
Which brings me to my next question. Might anyone have a 949 or 959 they'd be willing to sell reasonable? I only want the radio, no power cord, bracket, or microphone is needed. It can be s transistor version or a MOSFET version. Cosmetics don't matter, as long as the radio is functional. Let me know if you have something that would work. Thanks in advance!
