The reason those channels are mixed up from 23 to 25 ETC ETC is the frequency allocations mix up on the binary codes , it's the same on the regular 40 channel radio charts also , .... the added channels will read out different as well...

Here a year later and I had no intention of buying another base right now, then out of the blue, one of my very best friends son called me. His dad was my best friend for years, passed away last November. His last radio was the Galaxy 2547. His son came here today and brought me that radio and D104. His dad told him to take that one and put it up as he knew his time was short. He said his dad told him that if he ever gets rid of that radio, it goes to me. So, I have one now. He had installed the channels and 10kc. He placed his switches on the bottom. I will have it out in the shop soon. Hope to holler at you one day. 73's

Remember to try keeping those extensions short as possible cause freq shift so leaving in front was probably best choice Personally I would prefer using switches already on face that are not readily used like the ch 9 toggle and the anl nb switches leaving the factory wiring in off or perm on allowing uses of the face switches. Also 11 to 12 has A channel like the 3A old rule cb spacing from the 1960s leaving about 6 chan's from 1 to 23 as buffers to lighten co channel bleed in the older style radios

those skipped channels are the A version or buffers originally set up when radio was only 23 channel capable in " the day" if you get a 10+ kc slide capable tune you will get those channels back my 1 st " adjusted" radio I had clarifier opened to just over 11 down from center allowing any and all channels as I had full channels put in there were no misses left just bit confusing when no freq counter inline and using road map notes 398 wi badger state hope all are healthy and wealthy and wise

Are those two switches just plain-old two way switches? Did you add anything inline like a cap or diode? I had my old Navahoe done in the 80's with a switch in the back. Up and down with "off" in the middle. Trouble was, you needed a road map since there wasn't a freq counter. They said they put in a diode. Thanks for the vid. Gianni♥

The channels are "missing" and/or "out of order" because the channel selector is following the original logic map. I had one of those given to me, and it impressed me so much that I sold it at a hamfest. I have a bunch of other radios, like an ICOM R-70, or a SDR, if I want to listen to static, and at this point of the sunspot cycle that's all there is.
