You might consider getting the clarifier unlocked too.
Galaxy radios also really benefit greatly from a complete alignment. They are 'crippled' from the factory (they do this to keep them within FCC guidelines) and respond well to a complete alignment.

The clarifier can be unlocked and then the freq 'slide' can be extended to 6KHz by using another mod. But then, the clarifier knob is very sensitive to the slightest movement. Some mod this radio with coarse/fine clarifier potentiometers. Doing it this way will give you some fine adjustment along with the ability to slide way over to get the even channels. Think you can buy the pots and knobs directly from Galaxy.
EDIT:
To get it to slide 5-6KHz (so that you can get the even channels such as 27.550, 560, and so on), it may be necessary to install a 'varactor' - or 'super diode'. Since you will not be able to do this mod, I would send the radio off to a shop once you've done the freq mod ('P5, P6') and let the shop install the super-diode and the fine/coarse clarifier pots and then have him align the radio. Hard to say what this will cost; but a shop like DTB Radio can probably do it . . .

Easy to install, do not have to drill any holes in the radio and works great.
Radio will need a full alignment.

Nice board!
It won't do the 'even' frequencies, such as 27.550, .560, etc - tho. It will even make this radio a 10m radio too. It will still need to have the clarifier unlocked and expanded to get those even freq's.
