About The Owner (Clay Thompson) I have been servicing and modifying transceivers since 1980. I opened Clay’s Radio Shop in 1987. I started out in this field in installation. I quickly excelled into radio repair and modification and was soon managing the service department. My apprenticeship was for 7 years. In 1987 I was skilled, experienced, and had the drive and ambition needed to prosper as a business owner in this field.
In 2004 I took a close look at motorcycles and the communications that were available to the motorcyclist and decided to enter the field.
I opened motorcycle-communications in 2004.
I like the info. you provide about radio & related thing`s. Even though i may not understand it all,it helps. Thank you.
Just recently purchased a Galaxy 949 that you modified. Wanted to say that I am really pleased with the radio and the work you performed. As this is my second radio purchase from you, I’ll be sure to recommend you. I am looking forward to future business with you.
Thanks again. Vinny

Recieved my Galaxy DX 2547 Friday evening and setting it up for hopefully starting to explore the features of it. The A99 antenna went up without a hitch swr’s 1.1 on 1 and 1.5 on 40 @ base of antenna 36ft off of ground. Lightning arrestor on the antenna , mast grounded. On some sites they say to ground the radio also with no more than 102″ of wire to earth ground. If so where would be a good screw on the cabinet to ground it if it is neccesary ?
Hello Ken,
Realize that electricity follows the path to ground with the least resistance which could be you.
Grounding the radio chassis itself as a secondary precaution is not a bad idea. Connect the ground wire to one of the case screws on the radio and keep the wire as short as possible.
Use 100% copper wire. Be aware that in order to cut cost some wire may be a mix of aluminum and copper.
Best Regards,
Clay
I purchased a Galaxy DX-2547 from you before the holidays with the performance tuneup . In trying out the talkback option on the radio when I turn it clockwise all the way I hear nothing out of the speaker in AM , LSB or USB. Is this feature disabled when the tuneup is done ?
PS: And also while on the subject does this also effect watts put out on a meter. When on lsb/ssb with both a Astatic PDC-1 or a MFJ 945-E when I key up it shows 0 watts when doing a check. In AC mode it will show the proper wattage.
