I have a Kenwood TS-850s that does everything like I like it except am. I just ordered a Galaxy DX-48T to serve as my powerful am talker in the house. I hope this radio is as loud as it is advertised to be. Just want to be a loud motorscooter on am.

This is what I discovered from reading pages of searches here on this site. The 48T, as you now, is the 95T without the ssb and some other bells and whistles. I'm going to use my Kenwood for everything else and the DX-48T for am. Copper is doing the work for me and the order. BTW, I'm putting a superstar DM-452 mic on it. I'll see how it works out.

The 95T is by far the loudest mobile radio I've owned, and I've owned many other Galaxy's, Magnum's and Ranger's. |

I love the Magnum 257. For a low powered mobile (works great as base too) I love it. I wanted a radio with more power and the big faced needle style meter.
I would have bought the 95T but I don't need the ssb nor freq. counter for my uses in the house. The 48T is, to my understanding, the same power and same radio as the 95T only without the parts I won't need. My Kenwood will be used for all other functions such as ssb, etc. The 48T should fit the bill on a loud am only rig. If it doesn't, I would see no need in buying a 95T since I would get more of the same...

Understood. I almost bought another 257 for my base and sold my 2547 but that analog meter kept me in there. Irrelevant to your case, I also liked the 6th digit on the counter on the 2547. My truck is in the barn now and I have some time to use the 257 as a base unit. Looking forward to it but there's no skip!

Yea, a perfect radio would be the DX 2547 in 10 Meter with Dual Finals.
I imagine that there is a dual final mod/kit for the DX 2547? |

Inside the 2547 there are holes punched and spots for another final and support components. Just pop them in and rebias. Lon talked me out of it and I bought an amp for the price of the components + my time to install and calibrate. Made more sense to me too at that time and to this day I'm happy with my decision.

I was thinking (speculative dream) of a stock 10 meter version of the same radio.
It is not a big stretch of the imagination.

Would be sweet eh? Beings that it is a mobile in a base chassis.... Does galaxy make a true 10M radio? If you take the faceplate off there are spots for more buttons/knobs..... Was someone thinking?

Chad, the truth about the Magnum 257 as a base--I can talk to whoever I hear. The radio is amazing. Mine is kicking out 10 or 11 watts deadkey and modulates close to twice that. It's got ears too. Wouldn't it be funny if I ended up coming back to the 257 for my base station use in a week or two after getting the 48T? I'll be glad when the thing gets here. Never had to wait this long before with copper.

Well, I called copper and found out the 48T was on backorder--glad I called. Anyway, I cancilled that order and ordered a 95T (in stock) instead. I was tempted to go with the Magnum s-9 but the power of the 95T swayed my decision.

Mikefromms,
My reports on the 275 after the simple documneted tuneup have been fantastic, I recommend them to all those who comment and of course I recommend copper!!!
Truck is in the barn now so I may bring in the 257 and try it on the bench for a while. As of now it will not fit in the new car but I'm working on a slick solution involving fiberglass and a flush dash mount. Don't want to do this till I get the guts to put an antenna on it though

'If this radio doesn't work out, I'll order something else.'-
THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR!!!-but then you ruined it with your followup, mikefromms-
'I was tempted to go with the Magnum s-9 but the power of the 95T swayed my decision.'
but as with the 95t-'If this radio doesn't work out, I'll order something else.' 95t95t95t95t etc just doesn't have the same ring as
S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9 and i just KNOW you'd like the S9 a whole bunch more!!!
my ic735 is always met with a 'that can't be an icom. they're not that LOUD!' maybe you should just replace the kenwood with an icom?!!!

Say what you will, but I side with Patzerozero. At times I'll run my ICOM IC-735 at less than 100 watts, with the Shure 444-T microphone and the PDL-ll and I'm getting very good reports, also I run very little AM.

'AND a 95T will chew up an S-9 and spit it out.'
in theory, yes. 45w from S9 X 2 = 90 X 2 =180...so, if the 95t is doing 150-180 watts, there's 6db gain, roughly 1-2 S-units, maybe 3,depending on the receiving radios S meter. back the 95t down to S9 wattage, & you'll see the difference. S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9S9
the 'compressor' portion of the topgun system makes up some of the punch. then there's the 'galaxy' drift on SSB & the ole galaxy SSB audio 'wobble' & of course, the S9's receiver is quite a bit better. ok, so for the 'average' user, he may not notice the receive differences & prefer the implied transmit increase of the galaxy, but things aren't always as they seem! |

I have no SSB drift what so ever on my 95T, and like I said before I guy I run with everyday has a S-3 and It doesnt even compare to the audio I get out of mine , Dont get me wrong the magnum is a real nice radio but even when I crank the wattage down on the 95T I am still louder and talk farther we both run wilson 5000's |

magnum is coming out with a backlit S9, or the 'neon' knobs from the factory. or so i hear. unfortunately backlit knobs & neon lights do nothing for transmit & receive, except MAYBE add a little hum if the filtering isn't quite right. the local cb shop around here says the same thing about galaxy vs magnum. he gets over $450 for the 95t that he stocks & will special order the S9 for $419, i guess he pushes galaxy because he gets more of a markup on 'em. he has no good words to say about magnum, yet he's praised 'em more then once when he thought it was another brand. come on now, 25 years in business & he can't tell the difference in SOUND from galaxy to magnum topgun??? he also likes the NEW 148's over texas ranger 296's-because he's a cobra dealer & for some reason no longer an rci dealer...
my S9 is just fine, & a galaxy is NOT on my shopping list. |

Pat is solely CORRECT about the S-9 !! I have 2 of them. Receive has Top Notch Ears, Just perfect on SSB. The Best Radio out there for sure !! A lot of weapons on this one with plenty of toys also. JUST PERFECT !! Magnums little 257 is also a "Great" SSB rig for $170. And Hi Pat !! |

I had the place that I bought the radio from tune it for me. As far as the 95T holding up to the abuse in a big truck , I have had mine for a while now and not a problem, I am in and out of gravel pits four or five times a days and on job sites where things can get really bumpy. |

If Galaxy radios dont hold up in a big rig then why are probably 60% of big rigs using a Galaxy. They have the best warranty in the business also. |

Got my 95T. What a big radio! The thing smokes. I won't even say what my meter says because it would sound like a lie. This is right out of the box. I will say so far no tvi problems and great reports. The ears aren't as good as my 257, but they are ok. Conversion instructions didn't workout as planned. I did manage to get 11 meters out of it.

I don't know who your talking to or where you've been, but most truckers I have ever run into seem to use Cobra and Unidens, primarily Cobra 29s. My Galaxy fell apart in a big rig. Another fell apart when it was mobile! Funny, people always talk about 2950s being a little sensitive to being mounted mobile. I have never had a problem with my old 2950s shaking apart, but my Galaxy...
That aside, you must remember most truckers are not radio technitions, or for that matter a lot arent even radio "people" If they were, then how do you think those truck stop "cb shops" charge so much for "crappy" service? If the drivers knew their stuff they wouldn't give those places any business, but they do!

Oh, yes, I'm planning on buying a S-9. It's a matter of time. The ears are not bad on the 95T, I think I just need to get used to a different sounding radio.
How much is it doing? Well, it will deadkey 55 watts out of the box. Running it on 30 watts I get it to swing right at 200 watts on an Astatic 600. I don't believe it is right. Anyway, it is a smoker for sure.
I mentioned my conversion didn't workout as it was supposed to, but I got CB. But I've got CB ONLY. Now, if you want to laugh, Patzerozero, that is really something to laugh about! I think it's funny too! |

You are right, there are probably more Cobra 29s in big trucks than anything. Galaxy is in second place though. Atleast around here they are. Galaxys are built pretty tough. They will take a beating before they fall apart. My old 99 has about 750,000 miles on it and it still works like the day I bought it and my Frieghtshaker can dish out a pretty good beating at times |

I drive a Big Truck and can honestly say that most drivers can't tell the difference between a good tuned radio from an air line leak.It's really funny alot of local semis / dump trucks where I live go out and spend too much money on an overpriced 99 and then on top of it they spend even more to have some incompetent tech go in and start clipping / removing limiters and if that wasn't enough they buy a power mic on top of it. When all is said and done they end up wasting there time and money to sound terrible and I also forgot to mention these are strictly ch. 19 users so why even waste more money on overpriced radios with ssb anyways? Myself I'm glad I never fell into the whole Galaxy truck driver trend. I'm an AM guy and I have only 2 radios : General Lee and Magnum S-3. I don't know how people can sit here and even compare a Galaxy rx to the newer Magnums. Magnum has by far a better signal to noise ratio then most any other exports out there. And when it comes to looks Magnum wins again.They are the blue light pioneers and the black glassy face looks much better then the dull look of the Galaxys.Galaxy also puts too many colors on there face plates making it have some kind of X-mas theme,whats that all about? Oh yeah,gotta love the dual echo knob on the 95,or lack of,another strange first by Galaxy.Bottom line Magnum over Galaxy on am , ssb , pa whatever all day long! |

I dont know a lot about the inner workings of export radios so i will not try to explain how it was done and what was changed.So....my tech that has worked on all of my radios for the last ten years said that some of componets inside of the galaxy 48 and 95T's are kind of cheap and need to be changed to get the very best performance from them.after about 4 hours of work his metters showed 225 watts from my 95T.Thinking that this was BS i checked the output on 4 other doesy metters and got the same power output + or - 10 watts.He would not tell me what was changed,said it was his little secret.I have had this radio for over 1 year now and have never had any problems with it and have always gotten great on air reports.so as far as the galaxy and magnum war(LOL)never had a magnum that could be heard over my 95T and more than a few locals with S3's have tried.On the other hand,if magnum would put the same 2 pill setup that the 48 or 95T has then i think it would be a different story. |

I was wondering, how many dollars are involved in your huge "mutant Galaxy" -parts and labor included?

How can you compare the recieve of 2 radios of high qaulity with out being in the same place at the same time ,both tuned up to the best they can be tuned both using the same type of antenna sitting right next to each other. So many thing effect a recieve such as the atmosphere conditions ,ellevation, geography,surrounding interference, instalation, antenna qaulity and placement even the speaker used, ect ect ect. No 2 places in the world have all these things the same at once. Hey I'm no tech or scientist but I do know this much.Also just because one radio works better than another with the same antenna does'nt mean the lesser radio would'nt work better with a different antenna. All of this is my opinion of course, just throwing in my half cent worth. |

Hotwire,
VERY EASY TO DO. 
I have a MFJ 1700B Transmitter / Antenna Switch which allows me to have up to 6 Radios and 6 Antennas all hooked up at the exact same time.
Takes less than 1 Second to switch from any radio to another radio on the same antenna or switch antennas between the IMAX, to the VERT or HORZ side of our SE Quads.
On Sunday with the skip coming from every direction the IMAX was working best so I used it all day.
This gives me the EXACT same atomosphere, conditions, elevation,geography, surrounding conditions, antenna, surrounding interference, instalation, and antenna quality, speaker, etc, etc.
If you seen my station like Moderator136, Gator, Corncob, Homeboy, Redman, Jaybird, Turtle, Tomahawk, Dutchman, Indian, Renegade, Monk and many other CEF Members have you would see it is VERY Easy to compare radios under the Exact same conditions to determine which performs the best on transmit or receive.
I also have 6 sets of speaker wires conected to the same 12x14 Ham Speaker which allows me to have all radios connected at the same time to determine which radio sounds the best.
Nothing can change that much when it only takes 1 second to flip a switch.
And no matter which radio or antenna I flip the switch to the meters are already in line along with the scope and freq counters.
There are MANY CEF members and Forum members who use this same type of Radio/Antenna switches in thier station setup.
During the sunday CEF Net's I was switching between the Magnum S-3200B, the Galaxy Satturn Turbo and the Magnum 257.
The S-3200B sounded better to me on sunday so I just left the switch on for it.
No one noticed any difference in audio or signal but just a slight difference in one radio being a little off freq like 27.112 inatead of 27.115
Just my nickel's worth,

The M-257 pulls in stronger audio on the both the close and the distant stations. The distant stations don't sound so distant on the 257 as on the 95T. I'm being completely honest. I have no reason to advertise for Magnum nor to put down a radio I've just spent over $400 on in a purchase. The clarity of the receive on the M-257 is simply better than my Galaxy. It ought not to be, but it is true. Go figure, Magnum 257 $169; Galaxy DX-95T $399.
Oh no...here comes a series of S-9..S-9..go aheas Paz or I'll be disappointed.

like lon, i use the mfj switch, but the newer 1700C. & i switch back & forth for the same reasons-sometimes 1 radio has an edge over another
on rcv due to its ability to limit noise or whatever, while another may have an xmit advantage.
while my delta forces' receive rivals my S9's, ar3500's or even ic735 on SSB, i have no problem complaining about its excessive white noise. oh well.
and as for the hard punchin', smoke blowin', butt-kickin' receiver on my S9, i will agree with your real world findings 100% mike!!!
i can always add more power to my S9, but the receive on a galaxy, well...so 1 more time so mike won't feel unloved:

Crackerjack.Galaxy 95T,$360.00....parts and labor,$100.00.I think some of you are right about the receive of the 95T.It doesent seem as strong as some of the other radios i have had in the past.Case in point....i have a friend that lives around 50 miles from me and on my 95t he doesent sound as strong as he does on my connex 4300 hp.But i dont hear all of the noise on the galxy like i do on the connex. |
