carl,thank you.what is your opinion of the radio?i have a chance to get one and have no idea what it may or may not be.

If this is it, it is an older model. I would have the current owner show you and/or promise that everything works as should and be willing to take it back if it turns up with problems.

All mode, 10 watts AM & FM, 21 watts sideband

There is an owner's manual for it at Welcome to CBTricks

Saw a recent ad for one for sale for $200 so there ya go. I wouldn't pay more than $200 for it.

like all the early galaxy and excaliber bases they have a nasty tendicy to have the regulator take a dump and send 21v threw the board cooking most of the components.

is a mobile radio in a big box. i dunno i had many old galaxys and i guess i bought them just to have them. i never really liked any of them. if you looking for one i would say buy it, otherwise look for a newer radio like a 2517. they didnt have the power supply issues the earlier models had and are better on sideband.

out of all my old galaxys i liked my old 2527 the best, im pretty sure someone on these boards owns it now.

Yes, band c (if you have a 5 band radio) is the CB band 10 watts on am, 21 on side band. Stock
