Galaxy DX949 cb radio with the 5 amp fuse (if I hook it up to the cig lighter) will it still blow?

SOURCE: Galaxy dx99v cb radio

I see no one has responded to your question. The reason may be that the information is a bit vague. The are a lot of reasons a radio won't receive. In the Galaxy 99, the mic doesn't have to be connected to receive a signal so that illimates the mic possibilities. I have found that in some of the Galaxys I have worked on, that the if section ( thats the section near the pll chip, has cold solder joints ( broken solder connections to the pc board ). You may want to look real close at the pc side of the board with a magnifing glass and see if you can find any electronic components ( resistors, transistors. etc ) loose. Good Luck

SOURCE: my galaxy 959 cb radio wil not put out any transmit

Hi,

Based on your post of no transmit, a couple of possibilities:
1. defective microphone or cord or PTT switch (the red TX light does not come on when pressed);
2. TX light comes on but no output, defective finals and/or drivers. These are the transistors screwed to the chassis of the radio very near the antenna terminal;
3. defective regulator IC that provides the TX B+;
5. insufficient amperage from you power supply;
6. too high SWR.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

OK. I do not know the exact number for the diode off hand, because I don't have the same radio in front of me. On most cb radios, this diode is usually located on the component side of the pc board, close to where the positive lead solders to the board. Most of the time when it burns, it just becomes brittle.

If you do replace it on your own. The diode is called a rectifier diode, which you can pick up at radio shack or at partsexpress.com. The part number is between 1N4001 to 1N4008. When installing be sure to observe polarity, making sure that the side with the silver band is facing the direction of the arrow.

If I can help anymore, please don't hesitate to ask.

Yes it could, but... but it also depends on your antenna, what antenna are you using. Do not upgrade the power of your radio unless you know your antenna can handle the output power.

does it have a sheld wire?
