I have the DX-440 version of this radio. When the power is turned on the display has what is expected eg frequency, etc. When the power is turned off and the only the clock is supposed to be visible, the display has a lot of faint ghost/fill in characters. Is there a problem with the power supply board? I am using the recommended power supply.

Hi there, my cobra 200 gtl dx wont transmit on some frequencies. looses a few channels on each bank. It receives on all channels. This problem is intermittent. any ideas?

You watch this video and check your power output specially on those channel at chich not transmitting, if there is no power at those channel it mean that you program out of range radio band frequency, so you check your frequency and correct it.

Kenwood tk-768 displays channel numbers. Can I get it to display frequency instead?

Hi Michael,

Simple answer is NO!!!

The way these radios are designed, as with nearly all 2-way radios, only Channel Numbers are displayed. This is to save space on the LCD display for the other icons to fit in.

I hope this answers your query with satisfaction.

Ragards,
Peter

Cobra 19 DX IV, I bought this unit in america, but i live in the U.K. and can't pick up any channels, does this unit Only work in america, can i get somthing for it to work in england??? Thanks...

  • The UK uses more FM frequencies than AM frequencies. So the CB will work over there just fine but you will need to find someone who uses them frequencies as well or it may no be much fun. Here is a frequency chart for what we in America call import radios shipped from over there. http://macuk.org.uk/cbchart.htm 27.555 FM is the main frequency used in the UK but the Cobra 19 is a strictly AM CB. Also on the link on the far right are the standard 40 channel frequencies from the UK version of CB's and not one is the same as the Cobra 19 as the UK uses FM for their 40 channel CB radios.
  • Here is the 40 channel CB frequency chart utilized in America http://www.csgnetwork.com/cbradiofreq.html
  • Hope this clarifies things for you.

How do u turn up a galaxy dx55v.

Hi, my name is John. Welcome to FixYa. Take off the cover, with the circuit side down, take a plastic tuning tool, you can get one at your local electronics store. turn your channel select to midway of the band. make sure your modulation is turned off. Key your mic and tune VR13 to the Maximum on the watt meter. this is for the power. Next, locate VR14 turn the modulation up, and say ahhhhhhhhh, repeat if needed. Thanks for choosing FixYa....John

How do u adjust the frequency readout on a dx55v?

This radio has three modes, USB, LSB and AM. Each one has a voltage adjustment to center the frequency and they look like metal cans. You do need a analyzer to make this adjustment or at the very least a known frequency standard. Temperature can affect this display.

Symptom:Buzzing or motorboating sound in either the transmit or receive.
Problem: TR602 is oscillating
Cure: Replace C602 with a .01uF cap {Cap is located in the power supply board}.
RG 66,99,DX2517 Replace Q54 2SB754 60watt 7A with a higher power 2SB817 100 Watt 12A. Derating of this component will cool operation, provide better voltage stability,decrease wobble, allow voltage increase to 14.5 volts comfortably. (replace 10 volt caps in this section of the radio to a minimum of 16 volts before increasing supply voltage to this level)and provide faster swing rise time, Replace Q37 2SA473 to a 2SA1012-0 or ECG153 this will improve the clarity and volume of the modulation and it will also run a lot cooler.

Super Star 3900 GHP

Can't help you there. It's most likely that you screwed the modulator up by extending the frequency range. I used to work for Galaxy and I know what happens to a radio when amateurs try to modify them (no offense). If you modify a high power radio such as your Super Star, you're bound to have modulation and SWR problems. In expert advice, never do amateur radio modifications to a high power radio. If you want a more versatile radio, get a Galaxy DX 2517 CB base station. The DX 2517 has PA/FM/AM/SSB/USB/LSB/CW modes, and bands A-F, and a frequency range from 25.615 to 29.205 MHz. The Galaxy DX 2517 has modifications that can be done right at the factory, they are optional however. The only thing I find annoying with the DX 2517 is that it's bulky, it leaves no room for any competition. When it was designed, the engineers left space saving out of the question.
Anyway, Good luck
and
Best Regards,
