Found a Galaxy DX 44V and amp combo for sale on CL in town, was wondering about opinions on this radio/amp setup. + I’ve never ran an amp before.
can I run this on my normal circuit that powers my cb now? Or do I need to make a modification. Currently I run a cobra 29ltd classic (bought new a couple years ago) with a Wilson 5000 antenna

It seems pointless to run that amplifier.
The amplifier is too small to put behind that radio. I would just run the radio barefoot.HopeOverMope and Timin770 Thank this. -
I’ve wanted a galaxy or a Stryker for a while too. On my research, someone mentioned regret from getting rid of this radio, and how well built it is?Last edited: Mar 3, 2020

You could call it a step up from a Cobra 29, since it's basically the same design with a few extra features such as TalkBack and Echo. The main feature that radio has which would make it worthless to me is the FM mode. I would rather have single sideband on the radio. I guess if you can get it real cheap in good working order, and you're happy with it, that's the main thing. It looks well used.
rabbiporkchop and HopeOverMope Thank this. -
any brand and or model in particular I should be looking for in your experience that would be a noticeable improvement for me? 10 meter converted to 11? Or buy an 11 and get it peaked?
Any opinions? (thanks!)Last edited: Mar 4, 2020

Anytone AT6666 ! Some folks don't like menu-driven radios but I find that once I set the menu items, I leave them be
Honestly tho, if you already have the Galaxy, enjoy it. It will do the job nicelyrabbiporkchop and HopeOverMope Thank this. -

I wonder if it would be better to buy a $300 10 meter Stryker, connex, or galaxy and have a cb shop convert it? I’m looking to get a 3-5 mile range. I have a strong 1-2 mile clear range less than 1 SWR now, just looking to add some range and strength.
