Chris: I told you before, piece of cake for you. I know even though we have never worked on the air, you're a fine operator. I look forward to many contacts soon in your future.
Keep at your studies, few weeks or sooner you'll be ready for your General test. You'll kill it OM.
If I can help somehow, please let me know.
Only silly question is the one never asked!
All the Best

Good luck, even though you won't need it.Yeah, it seems like I never have the time to study and get it. But then I came to the conclusion that I will never have the time unless I make time. So I signed up for Ham Radio Prep dot com. Wish me luck.

Went to visit a local and got a good deal on another 2547 along with a deal on a Galaxy Saturn Turbo that I couldn't pass up.
I didn't realize how big this radio was until I got it home.

Just picked up a Kenwood 140s with the Kenwood power supply and speaker. It's well used, but not all used up. Made an adapter for my Astatic D104m6b and then proceeded to talk to a mobile unit in Missouri. This will be a great portable unit to take to the beach.

Chris: Good little rig! Clean those slide switches and use them sparingly when possible. Those are known failure parts, and pretty much on the unobtainable list.
Watch the carrier level on AM/FM... about 15-20 watts is max, I think book says 25-40w (?) but they get HOT quick, if you gas bag like me
PS: Quit "jabbering" on 11m... STUDY!!!! HF Antennas!!!!
How many HF RIGS NOW 3 ???

Amazon shows to have them for three huns too. That's a little steep.

So I'm being told by a wholesaler that they did get in regular 959's and 94hp's both of which the cost has gone up incredibly. Either folks will pay the new prices or they won't, we'll see how Galaxy can survive.

The Galaxy Saturn Turbo is basically the same as the Ranger 2995DX like I have(which I Love) if I remember correctly,back in the early 90s I had the Galaxy Saturn 25 Watt version,great radio on SSB,made contacts all over the world with that,of course the Solar Cycle was alot better than if I remember correctly!!Went to visit a local and got a good deal on another 2547 along with a deal on a Galaxy Saturn Turbo that I couldn't pass up.
