Needs tuning
The galaxy DX 959 is a good radio; however, it works beyond all expectations when it it is properly tuned immediately after taking it out of the box. The factory setup is about a 7-8 out 10, but after a professional set up, I give this radio a 10-10.
The SSB without a doubt needs to be tuned to work properly. Drift is a real problem without a professional tune up.
The built in SWR meter has been said to be suspect, so I had it compared with a high end professional meter. The Galaxy's SWR meter was was not out enough to make any difference to the point that it would effect the function of the radio.
All in all, as a CBer & Ham radio operator I would rate the Galaxy DX 959 CB to be in the range of 9.5 out 10.0 |

wow
Got my 959 w/all the toys today. Checked it out then put it my truck and swapped it out with my other 959. Well all I can say is wow what a radio.. even though skip pravagations and conditions are good. The reports I got were great. People wanted to know what I was talking on. I had it set on 2 watts and let it swing. This radio is great. Thanks again Doug, its beyond my expectations. Stan |
