Ii bought a galaxy dx 959 new abought two and a half years ago. i ran it for about 3 months when it started having speaker issues. i would turn it on and run it for a while and i would loose speaker output. needle swinging good in receive and transmit, radio operation was 5x5 so i turned it off. next morning i forgot all about it turned it on and same condition occured, so im thinkig speaker problem, and dont turn on anymore. well three weeks later i get a different job! so i remove radio from service truck and forget all about it. now to years later to the week i hooked it up and now it has no audio at all, so i hookup a external speaker and its a wisper,so now i try talkback and speaker is fine so next i connect it to my car stereo and ofcourse you can hear it but have to crank it up. anntena tuned at about 1.3! so i start messing with it and find the squelch control does nothing, then i notice the frequency for 19am is off by .004 turned rectifier from max to min once all the way to the left its 27.185 with no more counterclockwise adjustment available. any ideas? no speaker audio, no changes from squelch and off frequency

.004 off freq is not the worst for an AM radio. At this point, if you got it to tune to 28.185 that is the freq for channel 19 leave that. I might suggest you try a new potentiometer knob for your volume/squelch. They do go bad and can make it so you can't hear. There is a resistor in them and they go bad from time to time. Good luck.
You need to get the clarifier opened so it will operate on ssb properly and aligned if you want it done shoot me an email to [email protected] or visit my website at www.snakeradiosinc.com. also it will need apeak and tune nothing to wild so it will last and no truckstop hacking as wellYou need to get the clarifier opened so it will operate on ssb properly and aligned if you want it done shoot me an email to [email protected] or visit my website at www.snakeradiosinc.com. also it will need apeak and tune nothing to wild so it will last and no truckstop hacking as well
