Afternoon all: In the last two weeks of using my Galaxy dx2517 the power supply has issues. Power supply has be disconnected from radio, and the radio works just fine on external supply. When it was having issues when radio was keyed lights dimming Frequency counter going nuts and slight hum. Replaced 2N3771 and 10,000 35v cap with no change. Nothing burnt or browned out on board. looks as good as the day i bought it. I would be happy if one could help on this problem. Thank you for taking the time to read this. stevetonka kd8rod |
