27.185

channel 19 on am is 27.185

About a 1/2 inch behind meter

there should be 4 diodes in the front end of the radio.two are for the channel selector and two are for the rest of the lights replace all four.

try replacing D15 , d16 and tr 17 with original parts.

cbtricks.com has it.

You will need a good technician. I know of a few but I do not like you to spend money again and again. Email me at...... [email protected]

Readjust your load coil. You should never attempt this without a load and a watt meter.

there is a ssb regulator bad or the power is turned downthis how to adjust ssb power output SSB ALC: Mode to USB. MIKE GAIN to maximum. Inject two-tone audio signal of 500 Hz and 2400 Hz, 30 mV (-18 dBm) atMIC jack adjust VR12 Key TX; adjust for 25 watts PEP.

Popping sounds are from the the ignition - spark plugs, wires and distributor. Most modern cars have "radio resistor plugs" & "spark plug wires" installed from the factory. If unsure on an older car, check under the hood and inspect the wires & plugs.Make sure your radio AND antenna system are solidy grounded. Poor grounds can allow all kinds of strange sounds and erratic behavior from the radio. Also, connect the + & - power leads DIRECTLY to the battery. You can pass the + lead through a dedicated relay that opens when the key is removed if you want, but avoid like the plague connecting the + lead to a terminal in the fuse box and the - lead to an arbitrary grounded point on the body. Direct connections to the battery helps to prevent a way for noise to enter the radio on the power leads.You may also be hearing the electric fuel pump located in the fuel tank on many newer cars. Solving that sound is very difficult.Good luck!

• Here is a great video that shows how to test a transistor.

Assuming you're talking about the Galaxy DX88HL, and assuming the mad has been done to reach the 11 meter band, you press the band button in, that put's you to the E-H banks, select the E/A bank which is high bank E. with the frequency counter on, it should read 26.965 for channel 1. If it reads 26.975, then your +10KHz switch is on, turn it off. you'll then be properly set for 26.965 (ch.1) - 27.405 (ch.40). You also have 5 "hidden" frequencies, these are at ch. 3, 7, 11, 15 and 19. To get to the "hidden" frequencies, go to any of the channels listed and turn on your 10KHz switch. Those frequencies are not attainable on radios that do not have a +10KHz switch or a clarifier capable of sliding that far over. To do repairs and for a full list of schematics, diagrams and so forth, I suggest this site, it has the most coverage of the Galaxy DX88HL as well as other galaxies that I've been able to find. http://www.cbtricks.com/radios/galaxy/dx88hl/index.htm .

• There are no white ones at this time. Only Red, Green and Blue on the frequency displays. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

any of them just preference on the features they have..

Band should be E Band high/low button on high 10 khz off AM selected
To check that you have done this correctly frequency counter will read 27.185 plus or minus 5 khz. This is of course proved you have a radio that is converted for 11 meter cb frequencies.
