I purchased this radio for my Dad as a Christmas present in '06 from a Loves travel center in Grants. It is a SUPERB Radio, No problems Factory tuned (Fixing to send it off to get proffesionally peaked/tuned) Even then it has great range, The talk back and the roger beep are a great feature. As well as the SSB (Which operates very well) We have had one problem with it, we do a lot of off road trucking on a lot of worn out roads so it does get shook up a bit. The only problem that came out of this is the Talkback (im guessing the volume knob) Came a little loose so it produces alot of feedback. This problem was fixed with a noise cancelling mic. Added an in-line power filter got rid of the Alternator noise, but as its been stated there should be a fully illuminate version of this radio. Trying to find the right knob at night becomes a pain sometimes. I'm sure there are better radios available then this But for an end user looking for simplicity but with outstanding perfomance this should be on your wishlist. Like i said, when we are working we are usually off-highway on alot of worn out roads. The radio gets shook quit a bit (the way we have it mounted) And the only problem aroused was the feedback issue (which can be solved by turning off the talkback) Great radio, EXCELLENT price!

Beautiful unit with good reach and clarity. Plenty of adjustments via the wide range of user controls. My ONLY gripe is the lack of front panel illumination! Pretty large oversight that on the top of the line model one needs a flashlight at night to find the right switch of knob. Let's see here...... flashlight in one hand....... adjusting the radio with the other..... driving the truck with......... OH YEAH...... out of hands! Come on.... even a cheap Timex watch has an electroluminescent back light..... so it can be done without too much additional expense. How about it Galaxy? Perhaps offer it as an upgrade?

It is a great radio. Good clear sound and ,nice swing. It's only fault is it's frequency is unstable in extreme cold.

Very clear and powerful radio. The dimmer is just right for night viewing and the three stage tone control is the best filter for the noise of the airwaves. YOU NEED THIS RADIO!
