SOURCE: refurbished dx 959 from galaxy no modulation? no transmitt?

If there is no transmit at all, it sounds like it wasn't fully refurbished. If it is just low modulation then just turn VR16 and VR14 all the way to the left.

If its not working at all, send it back. It hasn't been refurbished.

SOURCE: have new dx959 doesnt get out very far talking

The DX959 has an output power setting knob. It's located next to the channel selector and is labeled RF Power. Turned counterclockwise will reduce output power. Turned clockwise will increase output power. Your switch is probably turned all the way counterclockwise resulting in low transmit volume.
Also, make sure the wiring for the RK59 is correct for the Galaxy. Even though it's a 4 pin plug, the pinouts may be different for the Uniden and Galaxy radios. Do a Google search for mic pinouts for your two radios to check.

SOURCE: i just want to know the procedure for tuning or

this is for any radio.

follow the audio wire. to the variable resistor on that line. for your modulation. for TX go backwards from the rf transistors to see if there is one for rf power actually would be a voltage increase/decrease to the bias. and collectors. thats how to trace any radio for the tune up adjustments. the others would be for ssb or rx tx meter and squelch etc... just follow them thru the circuit ... all this can be done by a radio shop for less than $10 remember not to let or yourself cut out any of the circuit that will cause overmodulation. and its just wasted. looks good on a wattmeter but not on a oscilloscope .. and other on adjacent channels.. lol..

SOURCE: I have a galaxy dx

did they put both the power ground and the audio ground together when they installed it? some echo's can only have the one ground , not both.. either the power wires ground or the coax ground on the audio wires.

also check the swr's..

How to install echo boardin DX2547

  • The DX2547 is the same as a Galaxy 959 - a SSB/AM CB radio. The standard of echo boards is the TRB-X2. This installs the same way in most CB radios. I have uploaded an instruction sheet here http://minus.com/lbkZJ6ZfR6qbEY Very easy to follow. If you happen to have any further questions please feel free to ask.

  • Hope this helps.

Galaxy DX959

it can not be tuned to go high or low you need to add switches for that and then realign the radio.
