me up. It's surprising there are no designated knobs on
the front for receive functions, not even a RIT, but a peek at the
schematic
makes it clear.


Don't feel bad, the first I asked myself was "where's the AFG,
IFG, etc. controls????" Pete

I have often felt this may have been an oversight on Galaxy's part, that
perhaps the AF and RF gain control text was left off the silk screen- and
simply never got added. Or, As you can see, the controls are so close to the
top that there is no room at the top for the text. They barely had room to
sneak in the "mic" text between the mic gain and RF gain controls.

Now that I have found my "keeper" BA transceiver- a Hallicrafters Cyclone
and remote VFO, I'll likely be selling my Galaxys' as they no longer seem to
get used.
