After talking to a couple tech friends, they say that it wasn't RFI that caused the failure, probably just the age of the components in the radio. It's probably 30 or more years old, so it's likely. I'll be sending it off soon, for a refurbish.

Galaxy DX 2517 Problem
- Thread starter AK321
- Start date
Well, I just fired it up, and it's working in all modes. Only problem, is that the RF power knob does nothing. It dead keys 3W and swings to 39W PEP on all modes, except FM.
Any chance the plug in J17 got pulled loose? Older "black" radios had failure issues with that control. The 2517 usually doesn't. It's on the list of suspects, just the same.
