Defects I have found so far: Stock SRA-198 microphone attenuates modulation significantly out-of-the-box SSB power far below 12w 3mm external speaker connector does not return to open after 3mm speaker connection is removed. No audio until connector is then re-inserted part way, then removed.

for me. the problem is once that switch is set, no other channel is selectable.

walcott radio rec'd the returned defective radio about 10 days ago. I checked with them last Monday and they said they had it on the bench. Since then they have gone deaf on me. No responses or email updates.

(not quantitative)Not as good as the x9, but very good receive.

Great idea! That's the most useless switch on the radio.

Mine just came in. I can confirm the board is like the 979. SSB was a few watts too low (~8-9w) and about 1/8th of vr17 turn fixed it(~12w). AM was about 3.5 dead key and I left that where it was. Even though made in Vietnam, it seems to be ok. RB will be done next.

88 radio has a newegg storefront. Just search in the newegg site for rm italy. I think newegg is safer since the 88 radio site does not use secure sockets. These are great amps and so far for me and my mistakes, have been surprisingly rugged.

you can try slapping the top of the box and it might start up again for a bit. If it does this, it may be a way to confirm that. (ask me how I know) And that little connector is VERY hard to solder! I tried fixing it myself and failed, but I told Galaxy about it and sent it back to them and...

no tx due to faulty solder joint on a two wire connector behind the controls is a very common galaxy issue.

I'll keep that in mind. The idea is to see what it will do with a 2 stage amp on each stage.

me 2

or hopefully the crazy heat and many quality issues with the x9 :(

WOW! so glad I did the resistor ALC mod mod(sic). on low power, which I set at 1w, the thing swings to 30. Not much test and verification other than a "loud and clear" radio check done yet.

Here's a picture of the adjustment pots. I wonder what W3 does. Anyone know?

Thanks! I deleted the prior post to eliminate confusion with the placement.

maybe they have no legs to stand on since this is an anytone radio re-branded.

yes, makes sense. I hear an electric motor sound in my Subaru and the dodge diesel has all kinds of crazy noises plaguing my radios. Nothing has helped in the least so far except the ignition key. I DID notice the NB on this radio actually quieted the receive some on the bench.

I see. Attention to detail does not go well with ADD.

What about a capacitor in the DC supply line? (I have not tried to put this in a mobile yet, just got it ) :) :(

sent a message to Walcott where I ordered this about the problems. They immediately sent me a prepaid UPS label to send it back. Pretty good customer service. They said it may have to go back to RCI for warranty repair. Of course, I was prepared for this since it's Consumer Electronics I'm...
