I am running an IMAX 2000 with a 1:1 swr pretty much accross the band. I was not going to open this radio as long as it was performing Ok due to warranty but went ahead and tried to peak it back up after this and was able to get it up to a max of about 5.5 swinging to around 16. (dropped it back to 4 watt DK) what would cause this to drop out like that for no apparent reason and should I be concerned enough at this point to send it in for service or just run it awhile and see what happens? I had really planned to do the dual final mod at some point and am not sure if I should now wait to see what may be going on with it as I'm sure the mod will void the warranty anyway.   Tech808 Moderator Username: Tech808 Post Number: 17315 Registered: 8-2002 Posted on Friday, December 18, 2009 - 7:24 am:        Personally if it was me with the radio being around $300.00 new and only a month old, I would suggest / recommend that you call: Consumer Electronics ~ Galaxy & send it back to Galaxy for warranty repair before doing any modification's that could or would void your factory warranty. Consumer Electronics Galaxy Radios & Texas Star Units 1-760-480-8800 RMA number not required Just my personal suggestion if it was mine. Lon~Tech808 N9CEF CEF#808~CVC#002 Radio Enthusiast!
