Operating the Galaxy 88 is very simple. The radio is built for Ham use only and covers the 10 meter range. It also has upper and lower sideband, with coarse and fine tuning knobs. These knobs are used to tune in the signal, as sideband normally has to be adjusted. The radio has high and low power. If the button is pushed in, it will be on high power. With the button left out, the deadkey will be lower (4) watts or less depending on if the radio has been tuned. This is useful for using linear amplifiers that require a low deadkey. The Radio has adjustable dual control echo, which can be used if you want, and has talkback mode, which is on when the echo is on. This is helpful as it allows you to hear your voice while you tune the echo. The radio has a Roger Beep, which is used in sideband mode normally.
The radio also has a freq display. This tells you where you are at in the 10 meter band. it features a 10kh switch which catches channels that are lost on expanded radios, it also has FM ability which is useless in my opinion. This radio as I stated is a amatur radio that requires a license. But it is also easily converted to cover the 11 meter band as well. This band is known as the CB band. This radio is a favorite of Professional Truck Drivers, as it becomes an audio monster when peaked, tuned and aligned properly. AGAIN let me say that this is illegal in the U.S. and is covered by the F.C.C.
This radio is rugged and will take the abuse of the Big Rig.
