    • An excetionally capable full feature radio
I have been a Cb’er since 1966 when I had to pay $8 for a license and worked a tube radio with a homemade antenna. No one cared about SWR with these monsters and 15 miles was Dxing. I’ve owned many mobiles and bases through the years. I certainly don’t claim to be an expert – just a seasoned user. I tend to write for people less experienced than I do so I may simplify things at times. Those more knowledgeable can sort things out easily. My antenna is a Sirio GPS 1/2 with a modest height of about 30 ft. The GPS 5-8 would be nice if you have the room/height for the ground plane sticks. I ran/tested the radio from both the 120V house power and my MFJ-4225MV switching power supply. Testing was done on a Dosey TC-4001-P test center. Not the precision of testers like Bird, etc. but suitable and relevant. Radio performance was the same in either case with slight improvement running on 120V. I was running a Galaxy 959 as my base until I bought this 2547. It is basically a Galaxy 959 with a built in power supply. The differences to the 959 are subtle but dramatic. This thing has a bigger set of ears. I hear things – with the same setup – that I could never hear before. The Xmit audio – as reported from those I regularly talk to and know my old radio - is clearer and has good swing. This is especially true running on 120V household power. Unlike the new surface mount radios, this thing is all discrete components and is easily adjusted. A newbie guided by YouTube can tweak this thing. I’ve found no need for the ANL or NB. I do use the Galaxy Noise Filter (GNF). In my opinion, this is a valuable but misunderstood filter. I agree that it is basically useless in normal use – close by receiving. However, for weak/distant signals this feature shines. As I said, one of the great things about this radio is its’ ability to receive weak signals and still sort out the audio. You can clearly understand audio when other radios are swamped by all the noise. The GNF makes this better. It is difficult to put into words but the filter takes out the very high pitched hissing. The audio goes to a low tone but it is now easy to listen to because all that high-pitched hissing is taken out. Yes, there is still some atmospheric noise but it is dampened and not annoying to listen to. It makes Dxing more pleasurable. Other than that you just leave it off. Out of the box the radio put out 1W to 3.8 W – min/max on the RF power dial. On sideband it measured 10.5W. The downside, like all radios, was the lack of swing. Audio was limited to about 65% with the mic gain at full. We all know that the manufactures limit the radios for the FCC inspectors. All in all it was a little better than most typical radios out of the box. For most people this would be acceptable with no tweaking. Just plug-and-play. The upside is that this is just plain the easiest radio to adjust. Within 20 minutes I had the AM and SSB power and modulation adjusted. That includes removing/replacing the cover, unplugging/replugging the speaker, locating and tweaking the VRs. I did not do any mods. The clarifier, etc. are all left as stock. What I set my radio to is irrelevant. Everyone is different. With the dual MOSFET finals this radio is quite capable. Let’s talk drift. I read and hear a lot about frequency drift on this radio. I’m going to make a bold statement here and I hope the “big guys” with their own calibrated frequency counters running kickers on their Presidents give me some leeway. I think you’ll understand my “drift”. This radio does not drift – or at the very least drifts less than others – including my 959 (I measured it). The only reason you hear so much about drift on this radio is because it has a 6-digit frequency display. You can actually see what your radio is doing. Even my Galaxy 959 only has a 5-digit display. It rounds to the nearest digit – the 5 and appears stable. Most radios don’t even have a real frequency meter just a preprogrammed readout of what the frequency should be for the channel selected. The other radios are doing the same thing – you just can’t see it. With the 6-digit display you can see the last digit change – it kind of flips back and forth on/off the “5’s” one digit. That is the 1KHz position but the flipping on and off the 5’s shows it is something much less than a 1KHz shift. My point is that the other radios are drifting slightly too. You just can’t see it and think your radio is stable. This drift is just plain a “so what” on AM and so little as to not be an issue on SSB. Just stop obsessing with the frequency display and constantly tweaking out a “who cares” and you’ll be happy. You’ll know when to tweak and that’s when it just stays off frequency. This radio is pricey but it is not your basic CB. It is exceptionally capable. It may appear busy but each of those dials has a specific function that let’s you make the radio work the way you want it to. All those dials are a blessing. This is not one of the new radios with programmed buttons that make it a bugger to change something easily. I know. I also have a Uniden 980 SB that I bought for my wife’s car. “But honey it’s pretty” – nuf said. I’m not bashing the 980 mind you. It’s a nice competent radio but not for a mobile (IMO) - unless you want to spend a lot of money for a mobile radio relegated to On/Off and squelch. For clarity: I’m driving – now let’s see – which of those buttons do I push? Oh now I have to cycle through a menu. Or, I have to push the button then key the mic and hold it while I turn the channel knob to adjust to the setting I want. Make’s you want a second set of eyes and hands cuz it’s just not reasonable and safe to tune/change anything while on the road with the new-fangled “pretty” things. I relegated it to a backup base radio. My wife now runs a Cobra – with dials. I got the one with the orange backlighting so it would be pretty. ... show more

    • The SSB signal was clipping so bad no one could hear a complete word
I know this will be pulled ASAP but I feel it is only fair to let people know that this particular Radio has issues. Ranger Radio and Galaxy know of these issues and yet still fail to address the issues. Their support people are always polite and friendly, I just wish they had more say in quality control! Got this radio in. Hooked up to base antenna and started calling. Got immediate response from skip as well as local that I was off frequency. The SSB signal was clipping so bad no one could hear a complete word, not to mention a sentence. No way to adjust the transmit frequency. The Clarifier only works on receive. Contacted Galaxy and they attempted to walk me through adjustments over phone. No go. Ended up sending it in for service and tuning. Got the radio back 2 weeks later, (today). Plugged it in and turned it on. The frequency counter jumped to 27.3843. This is the transmit frequency. I knew I was in trouble without even transmitting. The frequency on transmit should be 27.3850. (This is the frequency for channel 38 LSB by the way). After 30 minutes "warm up" time the frequency counter moved up to 27.3846. Still off 3 KHz. This doesn't sound like much but if you are listening to me, you are not going to answer me because you would have to retune your radio to do it. Most will just ignore you when your that far off frequency. You either sound like you’re in a deep cave when frequency is low or Donald Duck if your frequency is too high. A single KHz does make that much difference. 27.3850 is the standard center for transmission frequency on channel 38. On receive, when I tried to clarify the unit, I turned the clarifier all the way to the right and could not clear up the receive enough to even make out words. The reason I sent it in was to have it adjusted. Now it is worse than when I returned it. You have to wonder what is going on in the technician’s life that he or she could not see what I noticed 2 seconds after turning the radio on. Not a happy camper! Bear in mind that this issue only involves SSB. The AM never gave me any problems or bad reports. While waiting for this unit to be "repaired", I purchased a Uniden Bearcat 980 SSB. It worked out of the box. The course and fine settings on the clarifier have been 12:00 dead center and never moved. Transmits and receives without any problems or negative reports. Doesn't drift on SSB frequencies and never has to be "warmed up" for 30 minutes before use. ... show more

    • It is a good performing product
It performs as it should. However the 1st purchase was needed to be sent back do to a problem. The 2nd was shipped in good time however the mfg. should QC the product for being on frequency as far as transmitting on Upper and Lower SSB. Both radios were not on frequency.
