My Cobra 200GTL started to have issues so swaped in my DX959 that I had never used since buying on ebay and have to agree with your evaluation wholeheartedly! Now my defacto base CB and I have some pretty good base stations inc CPI and Stoner!
Good review. I enjoyed watching it. Much better than many so called reviews for radios and radio equipment on here. When I buy my DX-2547 I'll buy this for the Landcruiser.
I have the same radio,I was happy to find it had an RF Power, so I could run my AMP on it, Nice job by Galaxy for sure! and you are right on ssb, it does not drift, Like another radio I have.
My Stryker 955 is an excellent radio for SSB or AM, and it shines on SSB. You don't need a power mic for this radio stock mic works just fine! I get tons of positive reports of how clean and crisp this radio sounds over the air. Solid buy.
hi rick ray, just had a quick question. how high was your antenna and what kind when you barefooted 2500. thanks. and 73s from central illinois, unit 531
I think the best SSB radio is Stryker SR-955. One of the finest radio I ever owned. Using 955 radio with Stryker SR-A10 CB Antenna. strykerradios.com/store/10-meter-radio-955hpc/
Great video! Your video has helped me decide on which mobile radio will be my next radio for sure. The Galaxy DX959. It's exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks for the info.
I use a 959 and a Texas star 667 and I talk all over the world.hes right it's receive is out of this world .you won't believe the difference in ears on this one
Great rigs. I had one that I ran with a RM Italy KL200 amp or a Palomar 225 amp. Real screamer in AM mode. I had one with the LesComm 120 channel frequency expansion kit (26.515 - 27.855 MHz) and open clarifier (TX/RX). I ran it with an Astatic 636L and an Astatic M6BD104 amplified mic. I had to back the mic gain down to 50% so it didn’t over-modulate.
**************About my Stryker SR955HPC 10 meter radio***************** My Stryker SR-955 HPC is the best mobile radio I've ever owned! Having AM/FM/SSB. Having 80+ Watts of power. With Echo. Lots of surprises and all good. (You can read about my SR-955HPC here: strykerradios.com/store/10-meter-radio-955hpc). I read extensively about it but the amazing filters were not mentioned. The receive is amazingly clear. Everything works and very well. I replaced an RCI2950 that cost 50% more when new. Very happy new Stryker owner!
what is the radio like for frequency stability on ssb? some of these newer galaxy/ranger radios have a very bad drift compared to the older cobra/president/superstar radios with uniden pcbs.
I just purchased and set it up in my shack as a base station. My question is Modulation. when I talk into the mic the modulation needle doesnt move when switched to MOD? I also don't completely understand the talk back feature? I am using a Falcon 2400 watt 11 meter dipole antenna in my attic. The swr is perfect according to the meter .
I can't find any reference to a yellow power wire for the 959. Are you sure it is a Galaxy 959 and not a different radio? Mostly a third yellow (or orange) wire on a CB is a wire that is used as backup power for a channel memory feature (which means the wire would need to be connected to a constant 12V source) , but the Galaxy 959 does not have such a memory. So you your third power wire is a mystery to me, sorry
I have two Galaxy DX-959 CB radios, one in the house and one in the mini-van that my girlfriend and I own and what GNF means is Galaxy Noise Filter, don't ask me why though unless it is to filter out of world noises here, who knows? lol
If your SSB does not sound good, it could be a frequency error on the internal sideband injection frequency (10.695 MHz) . Depending in what direction the error is, it can make the sideband sound tinny, without any lows, or muffled, without any highs. If this is the problem, the sideband will sound like that for both the receiver as well as the modulated signal. Of course it also could be caused by the KL203 amp, check with another nearby station if the modulation sounds better without the amp.
Hey guys, you want to have a good radio for less than$300 go for quad 5 Is a export radio got 60watts and excellent audio reports on Am and SSb I recommend, have my self , I like it a lot
I want a 959 but I cant a custom 959 aligned etc nice custom face made in Vietnam though an anytone 6666 pro/ Radioddity QT80.. Gonna run a 500 watt rm italy with whatever I get
I have been the Stryker radio for several weeks in my vehicle and have been very impressed with the functionality and quality of the radio. The stock microphone is paired very well to the radio; however, you will achieve even better audio quality if a quality dynamic mic is used with the radio. I have received very good reports on the audio while using an Astatic 636L microphone with the radio ($60 at any Pilot or Love's truck stop). The radio is also paired with a Wilson 1000 magnet mount on my setup which is also an excellent mobile antenna. The radio has a large and effective heat sink (cooling fins) on the back of the radio that sticks out a bit...so be sure to check your mounting space / clearances before performing an install. Software to customize the radio is available for download at the Stryker website (strykerradios.com). The software allows customization of frequencies assigned to channels in each band as well as customization of roger beeps and radio operating parameters. (6) roger beeps may be programmed and individually assigned to individual channels. Especially nice is the ability to set operating ranges for voltage, max SWR, and max key down time...all of which serve to protect the (4) MOSFET output transistors from damage. Finally, there are few radios that look as SWEET as the Stryker SR-955HPC. There is a fairly large signal meter to the left of the face plate and the back-lighting on the face plate looks amazing...especially at night. There are several RUclips videos out there on this radio as well as other reviews, so check those out. Buy with confidence, this is a rock-solid transceiver and you won't be disappointed if you purchase one.
Usually after 17:00 I can listen to stations from other countries on an icom ic55 at 27.0685 here in Brazil
I own a 959 that was made in 2002, the receiver is indeed superb, very sensitive, yet very quiet.
Apakah saya bisa mendapatkan nya?
LOVE my SR-955 Radio. I having been using SSB radios for several years and this one tops them all. Yes, I will get another one.

It's due to band conditions that your radio performed so well. Everybody's radio will talk farther when propagation is favorable for DX.
I use to have one of those with an amp and turned up , it was the best radio i ever had ...

I like this sort of signal meters.
I remember the old tram radios no those were the days
The yellow wire I was talking about is on a galaxy dx 55
Just picked up one of these and a wilson antenna for 80 bucks

I got one with the dual-final mod. Swings to 50w all day long.

I have the galaxy dx 2547 is it the same as the dx 959 thank you for the help. and I have a yaesu ft-950
Awesome Review!!!!!!!!!😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

I have not used my galaxy 55 in 14 years. Just wondering why it has a red , yellow and a ground wire. What is the yellow one for . HOT ?

Why do your LSB sound so much better than mine. I have a KL 203p Italy amp. I have the same CB radio.
If your SSB does not sound good, it could be a frequency error on the internal sideband injection frequency (10.695 MHz) . Depending in what direction the error is, it can make the sideband sound tinny, without any lows, or muffled, without any highs. If this is the problem, the sideband will sound like that for both the receiver as well as the modulated signal. Of course it also could be caused by the KL203 amp, check with another nearby station if the modulation sounds better without the amp.
Cobra 148gtl dx or president lincoln mk1 are the best ssb radios money can buy !!
GNF...Galaxy Noise Filter. It's only for using SSB.
anyone have this radio hooked up to a linear ? If so how is it????
av you go FM on that as well
corky no
i have a question do i need a license to operate a sideband cb radio
nope
no
Manuel Montecinos no
Hey guys, you want to have a good radio for less than$300 go for quad 5
Is a export radio got 60watts and excellent audio reports on Am and SSb
I recommend, have my self , I like it a lot
or the quad 6!
GNF Galaxy Noise Filter? Probably a compressor/expander
+Harry Britton GNF, not the best feature.
To bad there is no FM mode :-(
It's a CB. CB's don't have FM.
@@125southernnh2 They do in Europe
