The 95T has been updated and is now called the
95T2.
We kinda laughed at one of the other websites on the net that says
when this radio is properly tuned it will easily do 200 watts. There
is some semi-truth to that but let me go on.
The 95T2 is basically the same radio as the 95T was.
Changes include a better designed heat sink for more cooling. They
also changed the internal fan just a little. 2 changes that you'd
never notice as the end user. Also they took away the variable
talkback, and replaced it with a variable RF gain (receive gain). A
needed feature for most users. Galaxy really does their best making
radios that customers are pleased with. This radio is still 361 chns,
AM/FM/USB/LSB, roger beep, variable power and more. It has a 6 digit
freq counter, 10kz (jumps in between channels), and built in SWR
meter. The radios variable talkback was removed and replaced with
low/med/high talkback that can be turned on and off. This radio also
boasts the large built in meter. Getting back to the funny "200
watt" story. Be very cautious with these types of claims. The
average 95T2 coming from most dealers with their best tune up, they
do about 165 watts max no matter what claim they make.
The new 95T2 can easily do 185 watts after a
redesign on the radio (see What is a Superwackpack on the FAQ) 200
watts is a little off base for the 95T2. Ours do about 180-190 watts
depending on voltage, on a Bird 4314 meter. Others may say that they
too use Bird meters but after 20 years of building radios you can
take what we just said or leave it. You can see 200+ watts on a
meter, at high voltages, high swrs, or crappy meters..........but
facts are we use high end bench equipment. The heat sinks on these
radios are only rated at 150 watts. We can safely get 185 watts out
of the radio because of our redesign, which keeps it much cooler,
and much more efficient then a "tuned/peaked, or whatever else they
call it" tune up. So a poorly worked radio doing 200 watts or more,
will easily damage the amplifier section on the radio........so
BEWARE!
Getting out of the radio watt politics for a moment,
the 95T2 is a well designed, high power, full featured radio. Worth
every penny, with some really high end technical work done to it!
But beware of crazy claims! Radios covered under a 2 year factory

Galaxy 95T Features:
A High-Performance output circuit that uses two
Toshiba 2SC2290 power transistors to generate 50 watts for AM/FM
and 150 watts for SSB operation
Chassis incorporates a solid aluminum finned
rear section as a heatsink
Additional heat sink on the bottom of the radio
with an internal Micro cooling fan increases the radio height
from 2.5 to 3 inches
Same main circuit board as our DX 2517, DX 93T,
DX 48T and DX 45MP
"StarLite" faceplate is matte black with all
lettering backlit in green and blue
Switchable sixth digit provides five or six
digit frequency display
Our exclusive "SuperSlider" circuit maximizes
frequency control by switching the Fine clarifier between
Receive/Transmit and Receive Only operation or completely out of
the circuit with one slide switch. The Coarse clarifier operates
on both receive and transmit unless the SuperSlider switch is
off. When switched off, both clarifiers are out of the circuit.

switch) flickers like the old neon lamps of the Fifties and
Sixties

Heavy duty DC power cord
Large, easy-to-read meter with 4 scales:
"S" meter indicates up to 60dB over S9
Modulation percentage scale for use on AM
Calibrated power scale
SWR scale
Automatic SWR circuit (No complicated
calibration procedure required)
LED's light red to warn of high SWR
Echo with dual controls
Talkback circuit with On/Off switch and volume
control
Meter glows red during transmit
NB/ANL circuit with green LED indicator
Two year limited warranty
Unusual Features:
The echo has internal controls only. It is our
famous dual control echo circuit without any controls on the
front panel. The On/Off switch is there, but to adjust the echo
sound, the bottom cover must be removed. Locate the rectangular
metal box containing the echo board. Do not open this box. Use a
small plastic tuning tool to gently adjust the trimmer pots
inside the holes marked "ECHO" and "TIME." These pots are
somewhat fragile so it is best not to use a metal screwdriver.
A single slide switch controls both the Echo and
the Roger Beep. They can both be off, but they cannot both be on
at the same time.
There is no receive gain pot. A 40dB attenuator
switch takes its place.
