Galaxy dx99v No leds working
- Thread starter LawNad
- Start date
The 10kHz switch uses the same 8V supply the PLL uses - to toggle the PLL chip.
Hope you did not fry the VCO or chip - the 10kHz switch might have a short you'll have to track down - starting at the switch. The Bandswitch is also suspect.

The +10 switch itself is pretty simple. Regulated 9 Volts comes in one side, feeds out the other side to pin 9 of IC1, found on the "band" circuit board bolted to the side rail. Has to be a mechanical fault shorting that side of the switch to ground. A wire caught under a bracket and shorting to ground is what I would look for first.

Send @OldTech03 a pm. He did a great job with my 99v, it is now the main radio on my work bench in the back room.

Galaxy DX99V back in service
This is Unit# 46 repaired in the last 6 weeks while working another full-time job!! Wow for me. Anyway, this is one that was done for a WWDX member which I will not mention. the image below shows the Restored top cover.
Thanks for all the help. Found and fixed. See photo.
Rock on! Congratulations for finding it. That fault has all the makings of a hair-puller.
