Galaxy Radios DX- 88HL Base CB Radio Questions & Answers
No audio on receve
could be a lot of things. How your S.W.R. if its bad your radio is not performing properly. you could have a final problem. Check the voltage going to the audio IC. Do you have a service manual,you're going to need one.If you don't want to go through the process of elimination then maybe you should take it to a tech.
How do i set my galaxy dx 88 hl so the talkback is on all the time
turn the talkback knob to the right and push it in to engage talkback.when you get the volume you want leave it alone .Now key the mic.You will probably hear a squeal coming from the speaker.Now turn the volume down on the talkback knob until the squeal goes away.If you run your RF gain wide open it may squeal also.
My galaxy dx 88 hl works great but the talk back
if you hooked it up its wrong but I assume you didn't.First of all talkback is a feature that allows you to hear your voiceand you don't5 need a radio check because you can tell by your own voice how your radio sounds if you want it to work on am you need to attach a 33ohm resistor from the positive to the neg of the external and pa plug ins. the talkback will be on all the time by the way.
Got pop noise
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!
Galaxy 88hl frequency display only has decimal point, channel readout fine
on the face plate is a button for the counter ,try pushing it several times to see if the dot moves. As long as the channel display is reading the correct channel you should be ok but you want to correct this problem . If you can't correct it contact Galaxy and they will have a tech talk to you.
Short on rf gain, witch pod?
in order to do this you will need a scope,an rf signal generator and an AF vtvm also a dummy load. These are the pods you wanted to know about. They must be done in order so here goes L8 to max then L7,9,11,12,13,52,3,4,5 now go back to L8 and make sure you are still at max on scope Then set vr1 and 4 .go to L14 and 15 .Now go to vr 2 and 3 .now to L1 and 2 check for overall with L6 . This is a brief reading of what you do to get what you are looking for.If you still want to do it or have a tech do it then go to www.cbtricks.com . Look up the letter P the search for president then Grant XL click on it and follow the directions for a receive alignment.
