Dx-88 HL freq. counter on 26 MHZ no matter where the channel selector or band selector is in. will not recieve or transmit on any channel.

Your radio is not capable of recieving air band frequencies. It will only receive 4 bands consisting of: 26 - 54 MHz; 68 - 88 MHz; 137 - 174 MHz and 380 - 512 Mhz.

The VHF airband uses the frequencies between 108 (just above commercial FM radio) and 137 MHZ (just below 2 meter Ham radio). Amplitude Modulation ("AM") is the mode that transmissions are made. The lowest 10 MHz of the band, from 108-117.95 MHz, is split into 200 narrow-band channels of 50 kHz. These are reserved for navigational aids such as VOR beacons, and precision approach systems such as ILS localizers

An external freq counter will always do a better test then the one on the unit . Do you have an oscilloscope? A function generator will also have a freq counter . Now the ultimate is a spectrum analyzer. you don't need all these but the function generator will work fine.

set your mode for AM with frequency counter reading 26.965 mhz on band E. ( channel 1 ) Now you have to adjust VR 1 for 26.965 mhz if its not reading it already . Now set the counter and the radio to 27.405 mhz ( channel 40 ) check for 27.405 mhz . If its off by .003 to .005 thats really nothing but if its off by .3 to .5 thats when it really off frequency .

Hello, please tell me what you were doing before and at the time of change. Were the digit lights recently switched? Please give me a little more information so I can be more specific in my answer. Thank you.

the freq display can be different from the channel selector display. the crystal in the freqcounter maybe going out or just got out of alignment.... check it with a know accurate frequency counter to determine if its on fequency or not. 000 3174269649

my galaxy 88 cb makes a popping noise through the speaker when I key up how do I solve this problem?

Thailand actually has three "CB" bands, the first is the same as the U.S. / CEPT (EU "European Community) band 26.965 - 27.405 MHz, the second is a 78MHz VHF mid CB band (I think its either 40 or 80 channels with FM mode) and then the 245.0000 - 245.9875 MHz VHF 80 channel band - apparently the law also stipulates that the 78MHz CBs must be yellow colored and the 245MHz CBs must be red colored.

But yeah, 245MHz Thailand VHF CBs are very illegal in the United States.

First off, the 200 GTL DX is a 10 meter radio. Running it on 11 meters (CB) is illegal, as it is not FCC type accepted. If you go below 26.965 mhz, you are outside of the 11 meter band, and operating illegally.12 meters does not start until 24.930, so ultimately, the freq's between 24.930 and 26.965 mhz are restricted even to a licensed amateur radio operator.

.002 Mhz is really not that much off, try having them tune to your signal When I talked SSB I would have everybody tune to my signal.

sounds to me like a bad PLL chip. but then again, I'm no Master tech myself.
