Im looking at both the Galaxy 88 and Voyage VR9000 and both appear to be the same radio. The only difference so far is that the VR9000 is about $120 cheaper. Everyone says Galaxys scream on the AM but drift on side band. If these two are the same radio, of course I will go the route easier on my wallet. Are there any radio GURUS out there who can help?

Can't help with any tech queastions, but if you haven't already checked it out, go to Ask
The Tech and read the "VR-9000 write up". It gives you a feature comparison between an 88 and the VR 9000...

I just got my Voyage VR9000 and I am very Happy I got it and not the Galaxy 88. The 11 meter mod is easy and so is the peek.
VR 1....AM/FM S-Meter
VR 2....SSB S-Meter
VR 3....SSB Squelch Range
VR 4....AM/FM Squelch Range
VR 5.....FM Deviation
VR 7....SSB Carrier Balance
VR 8....RF Meter
VR10...Final Bias
VR11...Driver Bias
VR12...SSB ALC
VR13...AM/FM High Power
VR14...AM Modulation
VR16...AM/FM Low Power
VR20...Final Bias
VR21...TX Offset
and I read someware in this forum that you can cut one end of R249 for the modulation.
good luck and be happy with the one you pick.
