May need tuned

Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2018

Product Packaging: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase

Well after a tune and adjust it works well. The mic. could be upgraded but sounds ok. This one came to me putting out only two watts max. and 40% Mod. max.which is unacceptable. After adjustments: 2 to 15W and 100% Mod. That's more like it. Nice entry level AM radio has all you need to communicate clearly and really isn't that what they need to do?

Does NOT transmit

Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2019

Product Packaging: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase

I can receive (hear people talking). But I cannot transmit (get out on it). Put new microphone on it and it still doesn't work. Apparently our return window has closed. Didn't get it installed in semi for a couple weeks after got it because truck was in shop getting worked on. By the time I found out it didn't work we couldn't return it. Not happy about it. It cost us a good amount of money for something that doesn't work. No stars. Forced to click one star to submit review.

Quality CB radio

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2011

Product Packaging: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase

Having used CB radios for many years the quality and performance of Galaxy radios is well known to me. I had recently bought a very inexpensive CB for use while off-roading thinking it would be 'good enough' for the purpose. The range was very limited and I had been told it sounded weak even from 1/4 mile away. I'm using a 3' Firestik antenna. I decided to buy what I knew would have the features and performance I needed and purchased the Galaxy DX-929. After installing the radio and getting a very good SWR match for the antenna I tried to make my first 'radio check' contact. I got an immediate answer and was told I sounded good but a little 'tinny'. I pulled my truck out of the garage and continued talking. My contact said 'I don't know what you did, maybe you're closer to me now, but you sound much better'. I asked for his location, thinking he was only 2-3 miles away, and he gave me the cross streets that indicated he was over 10 miles away. We continued talking until he parked at an event over 12 miles away. I was impressed and knew I had the radio I wanted. Very happy with all the features the DX-929 offers.

Beware

UPDATE 1:
So I end up sending this radio back to a repair shop for receive problems. This radio was not brand new as advertised and sold! This radio had been "peaked and tuned" by some backyard radio tech and with all the damage caused by installing the wrong value diodes and removal of critical diodes this radio has been rendered "Trash"!
I sent the radio back to the vender I purchased it from and it was refused delivery!
This entire transaction has been fraud from the beginning! Absolutely no help from Amazon A-Z guarantee! I am now seeking legal recourse.

Well where to start...First hooked up and checked swr 1:1-1, zero impedance ground, 102" whip. Attempt to transmit and nothing but severe feedback with the TalkBack feature off. Attempted to return and nothing but guff so I sent to a CB repair shop and $30 later, transmit without feedback. 3 weeks later, the starlite faceplate went out as well as all recurve. I get 2 receive "modes" now...Either dead needle or +40 static white noise, depending on the bump in the road I hit. Sent it off again and now will cost as much as a brand new one to repair. So...I am now the proud owner of a $189.00 Galaxy DX 929 paperweight!!! Oh...And when Galaxy finally got around to answering my emails, they voided the warranty because I had an "outside" repair shop fix the feedback problem only because Galaxy took over a month to respond.
So after being a loyal long term customer...Galaxy...You are fired!

First Galaxy Radio

Reviewed in the United States on October 13, 2017

Product Packaging: Frustration-Free PackagingVerified Purchase

This was my first Galaxy radio, and man am I impressed. I chose this radio over the 959 due to the comparable size to the Cobra 29. The StarLite display is much better than Cobra's Nighwatch, and I think the black faceplate is easier to look at than the gray.

Did not take long for this radio to come in. Factory box was placed in a box twice the size, with no padding. I was a little concerned on how the radio was packaged to ship, but nothing was damaged. After installing the radio into my Dodge Charger, I was pleased with the ease of use. The radio lights up well at night, and has easy to adjust knobs. The talk-back in high is not too overbearing, however the talk-back on low is just as close to off.

I replaced the coffin style mic with a RoadKing, and have the radio mated to a Wilson Lil Wil. Each time I keyed the mic, someone has responded. Almost all transmissions are audible. If I can convince the wife I need one in the other car, I may be a repeat customer.

These radios sometimes need a second ground to work right If the radio squeals put a second ground on it. I put a second ground on mine at the backing plate and it fixed the squealing I had with it. The radio works great now.
