BlackMaxx. The name fits it well, my friend. This is by far the most awesome 2547 I’ve seen. Great job! Beautiful on the outside & built like a tank on the inside. I’m speechless 😶 Thank You 😊 Harold
It was my pleasure..thanks for letting me do it for you. It really is a one of a kind! Hope you enjoy it and I really hope to hear you out there in dx land on it..talk soon 73 👍💪🇺🇲
Manufacturers take note if you make a radio that is ho hum us Americans will make it much better . Radio Garage shows some of what we can do . Seems like Radio Garage is on point .🎉
Now that is a radio to be proud of; builder and owner alike. A one-off, Matt masterpiece. Harold, it even comes in my favorite color, BLACK! Enjoy your new toy. It is not only a beauty, but also a real beast. 73 I have been talking to those Lads in Northern Ireland for a couple of days now. 👍 😑🦗
Wow Matt, what an awesome finished product! Happy to see a new video, I was bummed about the membership program going away but I understand the situation. Glad to hear your focusing on repair and modifications going forward, you’re work is second to none! And I have a few more radios to send your way when the time is right 😹👍🏻
Well I know you do a lot of custom work as well so I appreciate that. There were a lot of little things that had to be done that I never thought about so it was actually a very good learning experience as well.
first c b base I have seen that I like. My base was a cobra two thousand that was streched as far as you have this one. i miss my cobra two thousand it got stolen. I loaned it to a buddy and it got stolen when he had it.
Yes definitely going to be doing a lot more of the dds vfo stuff. Will be offering dds-vfo installs as one of my main services. Appreciate ya stopping by to check it out..73
It's been a minute since I watched any of your videos. I was wondering I didn't see any comments. Nowhere if you were taking new repairs in yet? If you are, where do I find the contact information to get a hold of you?
I sent you a msg on your website, I am highly interested for I am a 2547, Galaxy 959 junkie, haha, I'm very interested in that radio, that thing looks TOTALY AWESOME man, awesome work. Thx, LoneWolf 541 here in North Central Texas
Please don't get me wrong for what I'm about to say. But why would you dump all of that money and that radio when you can go out and buy a nice ham like a Icom 7300. And get so much more and do much more. Because at the end of the day that is still a CB radio and you would never ever recover your money if you ever tried to sell it. Again it is nice it looks cool and it is a huge update but at the end of the day it's still a CB radio.
I can think of a few reasons why someone would put a bunch of money into a cb. Most every hf ham set I've heard on AM lacks in the audio department, also even the audio on ssb in most of them is very flat and blah. Everyone and there brother has an icom 7300 where as now this customer had something unique that is one of a kind. I know I for one rather have something custom then just an off the shelf unit. Also a lot of us only want or need the features that come with a cb and will never use the features or bandwidth that a ham rig offers. The resale value is a non issue as we are dealing with custom pieces. I'm going to guess that you are ham so you may not understand the whole customizing and modifying radios thing but think of it like the aftermarket car industry. Thanks for the feedback! 👋
@@kippnovak9833So perfect... that he had to make two attempts at answering this one. So touchy... he can't get over himself. A polished turd is still a turd and lipstick on a pig
One of the most fantastic builds! I'm loving the look! Great job!
Appreciate it..couldn't of done the dds vfo part without your help! I'm really digging the kits. 👍

Absolutely superb work my friend. Made me extremely envious.

Thank you bud!! I'm really trying to get the mail-in service going so yea had to make some changes. Talk soon
i want this!!! I have a DX 2547 and would "Love" to have it just like this.
Bro 😰 I’m warm out just just knowing how much time you have into that rig. Props 👍
Well I know you do a lot of custom work as well so I appreciate that. There were a lot of little things that had to be done that I never thought about so it was actually a very good learning experience as well.
Awesome build looks great
Very nice, nice job!
Thank you very much!

Great job Matt, I think you nailed it just right..do you plan to do a few more of these? I'd like to put one in a grant xl.?
Yes definitely going to be doing a lot more of the dds vfo stuff. Will be offering dds-vfo installs as one of my main services. Appreciate ya stopping by to check it out..73
Glad that I got my Fat Boy from you before you stopped doing amps.
Yea I appreciate that..just have to cut back on some things that are taking up too much of my time, at least until I get some help..73 👋
It's been a minute since I watched any of your videos. I was wondering I didn't see any comments. Nowhere if you were taking new repairs in yet? If you are, where do I find the contact information to get a hold of you?
amazing radio. would it be possible to add fm to it
There are fm boards that can be added separately.
Sweet
I'm curious did you feed the echo board in the the EQ or the other way around
Echo then EQ 👍
WOOOW....amazing 💯🔔🔔🔔👍
I bought one that was done by Troys. Not as nice looking as this one though. Nice job
Hey Rod, yea Toby does a lot of these kits , very cool stuff
So channel 150 won't work or are the ham channels on this radio usable
I've been eyeballing the 2547. Love the cosmetics and the white display. Instead of blue lighting could you build this same radio with red lights?
Yes sir

omg!!!! i want this troy insert !!!! can ya put one in my cobra 2000?
Yep. There have been a few vids that troy radio put out showing the dds-vfo in cobra 2000's
Why did you put the audio stuff on the VFO side, and the VFO stuff on the audio side? I guess it doesn't make any difference?
How much does all these mods cost i have a 2547 that i would like done just like this
SSB is Legitimate on the CB Band now?
Where can I get that black face for mine I like that better then the gray
Black faceplate decal is from gamma ray graphics
@@TheRadioGarage ok thanks

Not sure Matt put a $$ value on this update so not sure if its cost is like a icom 7300.mine from Troy was 1/2 $$
