Big clear loud audio of superior quality in communications, galaxy radios sound better
One of the best selling SSB radios in Australia, these galaxy radios are big and loud on audio with immaculate appearance . These are definitely a good quality of radio and they sound better . Anybody who wants to make big noise on 27MHz SSB will enjoy these radios for sure.Make Galaxy radios your number one choice for serious communications.Keep up the good work.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Good Radio but........
Out of the box a good radio however the internal speaker FAILED day one. The enhancements work as advertised and take some getting used to as far as operating. Am waiting for additional parts for the station in order to make DX contacts on SSB, From the contacts I DID make so far all reports have been Q5. Radio has a HUGE dial that is easy to read, all board functions operate well. Did have to "turn down" the output power to drive my amp and other than the FAILING INTERNAL SPEAKER,this radio works as advertised. While its NOT a Uniden Grant XL it has other features that surpass the uniden.I would recommend this radio for a fixed (base) station but as for mobile application it IS a little flimsy on the case metal for such rugged application. Audio is good and modulation is good as well. Over all out of 5 stars I would rate this radio a "4"Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great Performing Radio
I wanted a great performing rig. I pulled this out of its box and connected it to my system. The radio performs just as described. I am now one of the big radios in my area. Thanks for offering this awesome unit.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Nice CB for the money.
I got out of CB 30 years ago because I got sick of all the loudmouth high powered skip shooters cluttering up the band. Echo chambers, tweety birds and all those other childish sound effects didn't help either. I re-entered CB radio about two years ago specifically so I could get road conditions from the few intelligent truckers that use the two interstates that pass within 4 miles of my home. I'm a ham radio operator and when I get reports of dangerous road conditions ,I pass that information along on the local repeaters. Until recently, I was using my old GE 3-5811 CB from the 1980's. Not a bad little radio but ancient solid state electronics. Wanting to upgrade, I purchased one of these Galaxy DX 949's for my shack and I'm very pleased with it being straight out of the box with no tuning, alignment or modifications. Hooked it up to a really good antenna (Hy-Gain SPT-500) tuned to perform within the 10 and 12 meter band, I was able to set the SWR down to 1.3 to 1 with an antenna tuner The output on AM was 4 watts and in SSB 11 watts PEP on CH-19. Not too shabby for barefoot operation. Considering my antenna is temporarily only 28 feet off the ground, I'm getting about 8 miles range on a day without skip. When I get it on the tower I'm putting up this summer, it ought to do much better. No big deal because I have no plans to work skip on 11 meters. I have 20 and 40 meters for that! I also made a few contacts on SSB on CH-36-40. The setup is simple, controls are easy to figure out and provides excellent audio with even the factory microphone. I use external speakers with all my ham equipment so the audio is always in my face. This is no exception. IMO, this is a a great radio for both mobile and base use. There are MANY choices out there and some requiring a much larger investment. But for under two hundred bucks if you want sideband capabilities, this is a good choice. I really can't see any cons with this radio as it's doing what can be expected.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

No responce to testing. If it was heavier I'd use it as a boat anchor.
I can't tell you how my signal gets out or how strong the received signal is because the meter does not work. I assume the SWR is ok because the SWR warning light doesn't light up but maybe it isn't working any better than the meter. I have this mobile unit set up as a base, with a Hy-Gain 5/8 wavelength base antenna. It's exactly the same as no radio at all.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Frank in Oklahoma, Galaxy DX 959 CB.
Spitzer radio...great range and super feedback on quality and modulation. The"controls" work, not just for appearance and they work well! I would buy another one and I would buy for gifts. 2 thumbs up on the Galaxy DX 959. Mine is stock out of the box using a 102" Hustler antenna...no regrets at all. Great price for a great CB with side band. Have one in my Jeep, going to add one to my RV.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Fantastic radio
I have a galaxy 2517 base radio but all my mobile radios have been Cobras, 25, 29 & 148s. I've always been satisfied with them, that being said... This Galaxy 959 is the very best unit I have ever owned period. The radio is superb, great receive and clarity. The tune on this radio can't be beat. I would recommend this radio 150%Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Galaxy CB DX959
This radio blows my cobra 29 LTD away. The receive is far better. I like the big meter and the Variable Dead key. Roger beep if that's your thing. Talks good for a single mosfet final radio. Over all good radio. If you are buying it new? You will more than likely have to have it aligned as the side band is rarely on frequencyVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Nice radio but....
I like this radio. But if you want this radio for sideband work , it needs to be aligned. It is so far off frequency out of the box, people cant understand you. That said, now that its aligned, it works great. Using a turner plus three mic, it gets good audio reports.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
