I have a galaxy dx 979 it has no receive i thank it may be a voltage issue

4 watts on am and 12 on ssb the modulation pot isn't going to help you . go to www.cbtricks.com and get the service manual.

if you mean that the power drops from ssb to am then when you change it back what you should do is check to see what power you have to begin with.you may have to go inside the radio to adjust the power. there is hi power and Low power so watch yourself.

As you go up in frequency do the SWR (VSWR) go up or down? what frequency did the antenna get tuned at ?

look on the back it should have the date it was made.

Sub another mike becuse it is part of the circuit, audio output ic,"sometimes developes crack on case" check speaker,"opens" and finally check small capacitor near the audio output ic.

Did you check www.cbtricks.com? I see it there in the listing for Galaxy:

Cheers!

I would check the radio with an external meter to see if it is the transmitter or the Meter in the radio. If it is the meter in the radio it could have a bad detection Diode or just oout of adjustment or even a bad calibration pot. other wise start looking to fix your transmitter like finals or other similar problem.

Well,some meters are set different than others,to see what is going on,you need a good WATT-SWR meter,but that is not a bad reading of SWR, you can get one at Radio Shack. You can not go by the meter that is on the radio,it,s probably not set right. hope this helps..

send it to me for repair. it has a bad soldr joint somewhere it is a common problem on all galaxy radios. 40.00 plus 10 return shipping. i have an internet cb shop so you can watch me fix it. email me at [email protected] if you want it fixed
