Bubble poped on new Galaxy radios

A radio should only have to be tuned once, unless you had a hack do it for you, I also believe that all radios should have it done free of charge if you buy it from a reputable dealer, especially an authorized dealer, to make sure the radio is up to spec. Now for me Talk back is a waist money unless of course you just like to here yourself talk, the only time I could see it being useful is if you like echo (so you can set it) and I won't have that junk (echo) on any radio I own. I do know most techs push talk back since it's an EZ 30 bucks or so in their pocket for 5 min's worth of work and a buck or two in parts.

 

For me, I usually run barefoot, and rarely run the kicker, barefoot I’m running 25 watts and with the kicker 200 or so. The open coil would be a waste of money for me and that doesn’t even take into account the increased attention I would get from thief’s I would get by advertising, Hey look at me, I’m running a big radio, Please break into my truck and steal my stuff…

 

Nice and free is always good!!!

 

My 29WXNWBT has talkback(stock) and a variable dimmer(also stock). No delta tune either. The weather is there.
As for sparky "peaking and tuning" for free, let's just say some things don't deserve to be paid for and leave it at that.
Just my opinion of course.

I will admit to making the mistake of thinking I could make echo sound really good when properly adjusted and wish I wouldn't have wasted my money on adding that. Live and learn I guess. I just leave it off now.(altho just a little doesn't sound that bad but not worth paying for)

I AM glad I spent the extra $ on the RK56 modded for BT tho(cobra mics leave alot to be desired tho the stock BT one isn't half bad) and the only other thing I plan to do is the receive mod(another cobra weakness is not so good receive) WA4GCH turned me on to and I'll be happy with my 29. I'll do that myself tho so it won't be costing me anything but a few bucks for the transistors and diodes and I'll have a 29 that receives better than most and is a whole lot quieter(noise wise) to boot, gets out pretty good with the RFX75, and sounds pretty #### good according to those I talk to on it.
I'd like to have someone else get on it while I listen on another radio one of these days to see just how good it does sound.

 

Well Al has never done me wrong and I've bought a few radios from him, he's even headed me off from buying a few dogs of radios. I'm just in the next state over and I get my stuff 2 business days after I order it. There is on thing I wish he would change and that's his not taking tech calls over the phone, he only deals with emails (he always answers my emails in an hour or two) so I have conformed, I can see his point about being stuck on the phone but I still like to talk with someone who is knowledgeable on the phone before I lay down my hard earned cash.

 

Paul at Bells has ALWAYS taken my calls before and after the sale and taken the time to answer my questions or concerns. I DO keep it as short as possible tho because I DO understand the concept of having work to do.
I'm still waiting (been over 2 weeks now) for admin approval to join Sparky's forums and this is AFTER an email from Al saying "I see you joined why haven't you posted?"
I replied and told him why(waiting for your admin approval) only to have my account disappear altogether! lol By that time I had already spent over $700 on a couple radios, a meter, the modded RK56, 3 BT ext. mics, and some other misc. stuff.
From the tech standpoint all I admittedly have is hearsay that he's a snip it and clip it sort of tech.
Perhaps I've been a bit harsh on Sparkys here lately, but from a customer service standpoint this sort of thing is bad and I'm not the only one here that has had the exact same experience.
Maybe it's the people he has moderating the forums that aren't dependable and if that's the case then he should do away with the whole admin approval thing. Better to let a few spammers thru than turn away good paying customers.
Again, just my opinion.

 

Why's that?
