Alligatorstation, Welcome to the Copper Forum! On your Radio after Conversion: BAND ~ A = 25.615 ~ 26.055 BAND ~ B = 26.065 ~ 26.505 BAND ~ C = 26.515 ~ 26.955 BAND ~ D = 26.965 ~ 27.405 BAND ~ E = 27.415 ~ 27.855 BAND ~ F = 27.865 ~ 28.305 If you look to the LEFT of the Forum here you will see: Tools Mic. Wiring Frequency Chart CB & Ham Lingo Modification List CLICK on Frequency Chart. On the Frequency Chart you will have BAND's D thru I that is for your radio if you want to print the Frequency Chart. And yes it can be converted back to straight 10 Meter. Hope this help's, Lon Tech808 CEF808 N9CEF CVC#2 |

The Galaxy 77 is probably not the best choice for 10 meter amateur... You'll quickly find you want something with a true VFO... If I were you I'd look for an old HTX-100 for to meter or even a HTX-10... They're actually pretty good radios for what they're designed for |

Being a 77 owner, I have to say that I love this radio and I think it's one of Galaxy's better radios. However... I have to agree with Bandit on this one. Recently on a local 2 meter repeater there was a discussion between a small group of guys. It was agreed by the fellas that no self respecting HAM would be caught dead talking 10 meters on a Galaxy. No true HAM radio has echo & reverb in it. No roger beeps. This is all taken from the conversation that I sat and listened to. I have to agree with them. Plus why would or how could you even call it a true 10 meter radio without a freq counter? Yes, you can add it on, but that is just the point. It does have a clarifier, but it's nothing like a VFO. If it's working and working well, leave it alone. Just use it for what it was actually intended for, a cb. Them marketing it as a 10 meter radio, well we all know what that's about. |
