    Very good info 👍 . You’re right, there’s only a few channels above 40 where the sidebanders hang out , and in AM , 26.915 is a nice hotspot I like to fish for skip on Next fix ,, if you could figure out a mod to make these radios quit drifting , you’d get the Nobel Prize in the CB world . I’d love to have one , if they were stable . Very very frustrating . Great radios , love them for AM , but man , that drift is a pain for everyone . An issue I’m very disappointed in Galaxy for never fixing . If Anytone and Stryker figured it out , why won’t Galaxy ? Too cheap to is what I figure . What’s your thoughts ? I’m in no way a radio tech so I can’t say much beyond griping about it

    Yeah, that’s always been an issue on all these radios. I know there’s a few ways to make it better, but definitely no way to make them anywhere near as stable as the modern anytones and strykers. Definitely just a lack of caring on their part for not keeping up with the times and sticking with the old technology. That’s why I usually unlock the clarifier, which is something I typically don’t do on a good SSB radio.

    Yeah just unlock clarifier like mine. Makes it useable on SSB no complaints keeps the clarifier from seizing up 😅

    Why didn't you just use the cable you unplugged from the board to wire into the switch?

    The wires on the plug were tied to the wrong pins on the switch to achieve the channels I wanted.
