Indeed. There are several variants of the EPT3600 board. A lot of the AM/FM export rigs like the Connex 3300, Superstar 3000, the various Galaxy rigs, General Lee, etc. I think have the same board, but with the SSB portions removed.
I need to check CBtricks.com and take a look at those radios PCB layout compared to the all-mode exports. I do want to say all the alignment points and adjustment points are in the same spot though.
Yep, the Galaxy DX88 is the EPT3600-14B. That's the same as the Superstar 3900F, Voyage VR-9000, Voyager VR-9000, etc. The Galaxy DX77 is also the EPT3600-14B. They're identical radios except the DX77 (and the Superstar 3900 and various clones) don't have a frequency counter. The Connex rigs have another variant, the EPT3600-15C (I'm sure there are variants of that too)
Doing a little bit of digging, there are some Ranger/RCI rigs that use the similar, but not identical, EPT6900 series board.
