First I recently made the mistake of buying a CB on an internet auction site and it doesn't work right. Ok, the radio has absolutely NO Modulation.

The nice thing is on these radios most are cheap to repair and depending on what is needed easy to do it yourself. |

As the header implies it is a Galaxy DX 959 I used the stock mic, It keys and recieved but it has no modulation and Talkback isn't working which I assume is because it has no Modulation but I could be wrong. I have it connected to a Wilson 1000 Magnet mount on the front fender of my 1995 Jeep Wrangler

is it the right mic for the radio? is it wired correctly? does it have a broken wire at the connector. if you key up & there is absolutely no movement of the meter with modulation, the mic would be the first place to look.
i was afraid to reply with a proper response the 1st time i tried to post because the bunny scared me. please put him away when i am here.  |

All seems well with the mic it is the right mic for it. I also tried my RK 56 and it does the same thing. Which is why I am thinking it is something internal.

Daniel, Reading your post I will assume that the radio still recieves.
If you can't hear yourself talking back I would suspect the audio power transformer. Does your PA work? If not then this is probably the case.
Of course it can also be a simple solution or some other problem, don't really know for sure without inspecting the radio. Check the audio power transformer and good luck sir.
