I have one of these,a pretty good radio,the channel 9 and 19 channel switch has been modified to give me Lows and Highs,middle setting gives me Cb legal 40,its a big unit,but sits on the small desk i have just right,it also has galaxys very own NB,and it works a treat,is does have front legs to stand it up,and i do like the 6 digit frquency counter,i would recomend this to anyone who wants a modern type radio.
Hey, lets not forget about the Connex Satern CB base station.... Otherwise, you'd have to use a mobile w/ a power supply or a moded HF rig (not legal in the US, although lots of CBers and hams do this.)
It has a 6th digit! The SSB ops would appreciate that. Also, the 959 chassis has some tricks up its sleeve such as dual finals and a few other little things.
The only thing that would make this radio better is if it had NOAA weather. Wouln't mind replacing my current base station (Uniden Washington) and separate weather radio with a base radio with weather built in. I'm seriously spending more money and getting the Ranger RCI-2980WX base radio, just to have it all combined into one unit.

Its kind of weird how inside its basically just a mobile unit without covers or a faceplate mounted inside the radio.
