I have a Galaxy mobile 10 meter radio that I bought, well used, from a guy about 5 years ago. I am trying to find out how old it is, and how many years that this model was made. It has a black face on it, has FM and sideband, has 5 bands of channels:A B C D E. The name on the front says: GALAXY II.

It has a sticker on the back with a serial number, but I can't make out all of the numbers.
It is a great little radio. Recently had it tuned up by PegLeg in Cocoa FL.(Anybody know him?) Excellent work and prices.
Any help is most appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

Hey Taz,
I am probably not the Green Hornet you are thinking of. I have never been on this forum before. But, thanks so much for the nice welcome anyway. Yeh PegLeg has repaired and tuned 2 Galaxy radios for me in the past few months. He does a great job, very quick, and very reasonable.
Now about my old Galaxy II. Anybody?

Thanks,
Steve

GreenHornet,

It's probably exactly what it says it is, the Galaxy II. Older Galaxy mobile radio.

Biged,
No, not messing with ya. I live just outside of Mobile AL. Haven't been on the radio for about 3 years now. Haven't been on this forum, until just the other day.
Tech181,
I know that it is an older Galaxy. I was just wondering if anybody knew about what year it may be, or what years that particular model was made.
Thanks
Steve

Hey Taz,
That's OK. No, I have never tried the Voyage. Heard it's a good radio, though. I have this old Galaxy II, and a Galaxy DX55V, and an old Midland 40 channel. Hey, you're not in Mobile are you? There is a Taz, that I hear sometimes around here.
