Seems like I ask this before and it never made it to post....maybe I'm on crack or something.
Does anyone know what frequencies the bands are in a Galaxy 77HML when it's new and NOT converted? I just checked my email and here is what Galaxy told me:
(Hi,
The band switch is locked on the DX77HML when it is sold new in the box so the frequency range is from 28.065MHz to 28.605MHz.)
I converted my radio back to 10 meter. I don't think something is right. What does he mean by locked? What about the frequencies of the bands on a 44 BEFORE it's converted? What would they be? There is more bands in a 44 than a 77. Seems to me that if the Galaxy radios were really meant to be 10 meter HAM radios, they all would have came with USB/LSB and clarifier controls. I've never seen a true HAM radio with echo/reverb boards in them either.
Can anyone give me the channel list for these radios before they are converted?
Do you guys really think these radios were meant to be 10 meter radios? |

Major,
It is at the top of the page in the Owners Manual listed Under Specifications.
From the Factory before conversion it covers:
28.065 ~ 28.505
Hope this helps.

Lon,
Are you mad at me or something? I bought the CD from ******, and there isn't a channel list before conversion. Galaxy told me the range, but that still doesn't tell me which channel starts what and where.
I would like a list of the channels just like the one that shows the conversion listing. |

If you want a real ham radio look for names like Icom, Yaesu, Kenwood... ect not a radio based on a CB design. I would imagine that locked means the band selector either does not move or does not change anything when it does. Just doing the math, you only have one bank of channels unconverted that will start on channel 1 and end on 40. You must have left out a step on the unconversion. |

I bought the radio new. I converted it myself to 11 meters. It is working fine on 11 meters. I was thinking of converting it back to 10 meters so I could listen to what is going on there. I am getting ready to go take my exam to get licensed. I will probably get the Yaesu FT-857, atleast it is what I am looking at right now.
I have seen the converted channel chart. I was looking for a channel chart for this radio that showed the channel run down before conversion. I converted the radio back to 10 meters. It is locked or something that way. Most all channels, regardless of band, show about the same frequency. In my opinion, as asked in another post, I don't think these radios were really meant as 10 meter rigs in the first place. I think they just market them under that due to the fact that they are just a bigger cb radio with echo and all that stuff already installed.
I could be wrong though...it wouldn't be the first time... |

The info your looking for is in the Galaxy Owners Manual. I have the same radio but ive never converted it back to to meter. When i got it those were the channels it came with before i converted it.

Yeah, I have a list of what it covered before it was converted. But it doesn't say like A band convers 28bla bla bla on channel one to 28bla bla bla on channel 40 and then the next band and the next and so on.
I want to convert this radio back to 10 meters. I want to listen to the 10 meter band only, cause right now I don't have the license to talk or send CW. But I will in the future. My idea is these radios aren't really 10 meter radios to begin with regardless of what they say. I mean how many of you guys have ever listened to 10 meter and heard echo boards and noise toys and all that? I still think it is a marketing plan, seems like I said this elsewhere in another post, but I don't believe it made it to print. |
