one modification that can be done to your radio is called the shottkey diode receive upgrade. it involves a competent radio tech and about 20 minutes. a few minor diodes and a transistor i believe are changed on the radios control board. the tech then has to retune the radio which takes an oscilloscope. the diode mod adds better filtering to the radio, there by reducing amplified noise that is picked up with everything else. i had my galaxy 99 done and i saw an immediate 3db reduction in line noise during peak sunspot and skip activity. the difference at night is freaking amazing.
I also had Dave at DTB do my radio.I am very satisfied he dorkoes good w.

most shops that offer this service charge between 20 and 30 bucks. i had been wanting to get the work done for a long time, but i only let certain people in my 99. they (Galaxy) may have stopped making this radio in 2006, but i still wont let anyone inside the thing.

i had mine done at DTB radio in Carlisle, PA. you can stop by there and have him do it or send the radio to him. http://dtbradio.com/
