Where do I set the variable power when setting SWR
First of all you need a manual that will tell you everything you need to know. Secondly , you don't have to set a variable in order to set the SWR . Your antenna should have a set screw to loosen when you adjust it.
SOURCE: refurbished dx 959 from galaxy no modulation? no transmitt?
If there is no transmit at all, it sounds like it wasn't fully refurbished. If it is just low modulation then just turn VR16 and VR14 all the way to the left.
If its not working at all, send it back. It hasn't been refurbished.
SOURCE: can't talk about 2 miles ,swr is good
If your talking at least 2 then it sounds like it is the antenna. Any antenna should talk 10-12 miles on a good day, no matter what radio you're using. So I'd get a second look at that system.
SOURCE: I was told I could run the galaxy 94hp on posts in semi truck
The Binding Posts as they are actually known are for hooking up Radios and such and have been a common feature of most truck manufactures for well over 20 years they are for convenience and to help keep down on wiring problems due to folks making poor connections to the trucks wiring harness and Yes they are sufficient to run that radio as most will support up to 500 watt amps.
SOURCE: Galaxy DX 98VHP meter stopped
You appear to be aware of you antenna system with the separate meter attached so the tells me you dont punish a radio with an high swr. I am just guessing red wire/solder in mic cord at plug given that it is a side mic mic jack.
Stock mic
1- Shield (Ground)
2- Yellow (Audio)
3- Red (Transmit)
4- White (Receive)
SOURCE: how to set
you do not "set" swr.you cannot set it on the radio. the radio can tell you what yourswr is. it can take an swr measurement. swr has to do with the antenna system. in order for the radio waves to radiate from the antenna properly, the physical length of the antenna must match the length of the radio waves. if the antenna is too long or too short you will have a higher swr ratio. the higher the ratio the less energy will leave the antenna. but that energy needs to go somewhere, so it goes back into the radio which causes damage and can ruin a radio.
first turn the channel to 20. then switch the meter switch to CAL. then key the radio. while keyed, turn the CAL knob up until the needle in the meter gets right to the CAL Mark. next flip the meter switch and key the radio. where ever he needle is, is what your swr is.if it is more the 1.5 that's getting high. if its over 2 you are in the danger zone. if its over 3 you are damaging your radio. you must repeat the calibration proceedure for every channel.to figure out weather your antenna is too long or short, you compare the swr readings from channel 1 and ch 40. if the swr is higher in 1 then on 40 the entenna is too short. if its higher on 40 then 1 its to long.
