Galaxy 10 Meter Mobile RadiosIntroduction to Galaxy 10 Meter RadiosThere is much misunderstanding about the 10 Meter Radio, especially for the new Trucker. Lets see if we can help clarify the issues. Galaxy's 10 Meter Radios are NOT CB radios. That means that they will NOT get any of the 40 CB Channels out of the box. Don't expect to buy a new Galaxy 10 meter Radio, take it out of the box, plug it in and talk on channel 19. True there is a very easy to do Frequency modification that will add the CB channels, along with hundreds of others, but the 10 Meter radio is an amateur radio and NOT a CB Radio. Well, at least that is the claim of the manufacturers of these radios. The FCC on the other hand claims they are really CD radios in disguise and therefore need to be on the FCC's approved list. The FCC, sent a letter to Ranger (makers of the Galaxy pc board). Ranger told me they sent the FCC a letter back from their attorneys and that apparently ended that, because Ranger and Galaxy both are still selling the 10 meter radios. Unfortunately, it makes for some heated discussions and hopefully the FCC and the manufacturers will reach a universal agreement. Anyway, Galaxy says the simple Frequency modification can be legally done by any CB shop. You can legally listen in on the 40 CB Channels, but it is illegal to transmit on those channels do to the power which easily exceeds the max 4 watts of the legal CB radio. You should also have a License to operate a 10 meter radio. Another misunderstanding by seasoned driver's as well as the new Trucker is Galaxy's warranty. It is NOT True that you will void your 10 Meter Galaxy's Two Year Warranty if you have the frequency mod done. Let me say that in another way.
Why a Galaxy 10 Meter Radio?With the economy so tough right now many 10 Meter Radio manufacturing companies are cutting corners in the engineering stages when developing their 10 Meter Radios. This is an area Galaxy monitors closely. More importantly Galaxy takes great pride in their customer service. Call Galaxy and a tech will pick up the phone. What happened to all those annoying prompts? In addition to Galaxy's own website, they agreed to support, what many feel is the best website on the internet for CB and 10 Meter radio information, cbtricks.com. See cbtricks.com/galaxydx_index.htm. And lets not forget Galaxy's 10 Meter Radio Two Year Parts and Labor Warranty. So which one of Galaxy's 10 Meter Mobile Radios is right for you? The following chart might help you determine that. Click on any of the Red DX## in the following chart for more information on that particular model or to purchase one of these Excellent 10 Meter Mobile Radios. I have changed the Red color to Green for the Radios RoadPro no longer carries. Sorry, we do not carry the DX-73. You can also use the Links provided following the Comparison Chart.
Why Does Galaxy Want to Handle ALL Returns?Most of the Galaxy 10 Meters are modified by the purchaser because they feel they need to improve the performance of their radios with the internet as their teacher. This is the biggest problem Galaxy is seeing with most failure complaints so they want to evaluate every radio accordingly. If the radio appears to have something simple such as a connector that has come unplugged during shipping or maybe even a solder connection that was over looked during production Galaxy will take care of that and return the radio. Sometimes Galaxy will find problems such as stressed pc boards causing fracture cracks or even exterior damage and that's what they call a factory defect which would be immediately replaced for the customer. However as mentioned earlier Galaxy will usually find that the owner has tried to apply some procedure via the internet and found his radio now has a problem.
