    Another trucker is selling a galaxy 44 in the truck stop I'm at right now for $125. I don't know a lot about them but see good things online. Only thing is, is it has a sequel when he keys up and moved the radio to my truck to try and cancle out truck problem and other drivers say that it still has a sequel even in my truck please help I've seen that at $125 its a steal so would hate to pass it up if its something simple thanks in advance.

    Probably mic gain or talk back. In your case since it is happening in two trucks we can probably rule out a ground issue. The modulation pot is probably turned up past 100% and the mic gain being turned all the way up is causing the feedback. A good tech with a scope could adjust the pot properly. Another thing could be talk back. Try turning talk back off or down.

    Turning your mic gain should do it. No need to pay anybody to fix anything if that works. Most of my Galaxy radios I set at about 2 o'clock or a little less depending which mic I use. I have the good fortune of having a good tech down the street so I always have him check/re-tune any radio I buy. If you know one, I would let him/her go thru it just so you know what you got.
