Re: Question on the Galaxy
When some one is real close to you, you can flip that switch to keep them from sounding over modulated...Works similar to the RF Gain, as it knocks down the incoming signal.

Re: Question on the Galaxy
I would say the Galaxy 95T was one of the best conversion radios Galaxy produced. I like that it had 6 digit frequency readout (wasn't a counter) and 2290 finals. If it didn't have too many fingers in it I would have a mild tune and alignment done, clarifier is unlocked and with the 6 digit display you an stay right on frequency.

Re: Question on the Galaxy
Good to hear! I recently sent it out to DTB radio in PA for a tune. It seemed to over modulate. Better now. I do like the the 6 digit display. Need to heighten my antenna and hopefully I can DX soon!MDYoungblood wrote: Jul 24 2020, 08:23 I would say the Galaxy 95T was one of the best conversion radios Galaxy produced.
