I like galaxy radios.a driver needed some money so he sold me his 99,external speaker,brand new clear coax,road king mic,and a wilson 2000 or 5000 antenna(junk to me as i use the francis 5' pre tuned which gets a good ground on a piece of wood) all for a $100.
the 99 had a slight noise in it from my truck as i idled and the modulation was off it seemed but i still jumped on the deal.
Anyway.took it to the shop at the TA in cartersville,ga.,exit 296/I75 and for $69.00,walt( i think),wearing overalls,spent a good hour going over the solders(had a few cold ones),took some junk wattage increaser that actually detracted from the modulation swing off,re-tuned,and cleaned each control.it now swings 40 watts as this is the older 99 that won't do the 200 but i didn't pay for a newer radio either and i knew it was an older 99.
SO.i am very satisfied w/the work they do at this radio shop and suggest that if you are in that TA and need radio work done,take it on in.he had plenty of used ones in there inclusive of a 99 for $250 that was identical to mine that i now have $169 in.
you can find good deals and great technicians and after using the birdman,jeff on monteagle for decades now,i have a closer radio guy that i trust.i'll still use jeff if necessary but getting over there has been a problem and i am up and down I75 often on a particular haul i am asked to run.
they also have trucker hours-10:00 a.m. until 22:00 i think
5 stars out of 5
bought a used galaxy 99 on a whim knowing it needed work
