    • Very good performance for the price
This radio excels overwhelmingly in probably the most important category: receive sensitivity. You can compensate for a lot by cranking up the watts, but if the radio can't hear distant stations, there's no point in even keying the mic. I happen to be a communications system engineer so I have an HP 8920A in my office, and I hooked this radio up just to check it out. And I was duly amazed. Out of the box, receive sensitivity was almost 10 dB better than my $1200 Yaesu rig in AM and SSB. It comes factory aligned, but the VCO was 350 Hz out of tune (spec is 20). Fortunately I was able to easily find the service manual online. The schematic is very impressive; only a couple IC's, mostly for handling audio and generating the AM transmit signal. The rest of the rig is discrete, making it easy and cheap to troubleshoot and repair. After a couple hours fumbling through the alignment procedure, I am very happy to report that receive sensitivity is way, way, way better than advertised. Understand that results vary from one rig to the next, but this radio can pull in a tenth of a microvolt in SSB and less than a quarter uV in AM. That's four times better than the manual claims. I was able to pull the VCO in and get back on frequency, but for some reason the procedure in the manual did not work; I had to figure it out (it was not that tough). There are a couple complaints out there, and I found that I agreed with them. The knobs are a little flimsy and feel cheap, the frequency drifts a bit, especially during warm-up, the frequency display only reads down to 1 kHz, and the mic is gigantic and of relatively low quality. Add to that my observation that the meter lamp dims when transmitting, even on low power, and the noise blanking and Galaxy Noise Filter are no more effective than similar features on any other HF radio (they're best left turned off). The SWR meter was a little pessimistic, reading about 3:1 with a 2:1 match, which is good, and measuring signal strength, modulation and power it was spot-on. Being able to dim or shut off the display lights is also a neat feature, as I don't like lights glaring at me from my dashboard. In a laboratory I was of course able to get very high transmit power out of it, but keep in mind that "swinging" a CB is against the law, as is making adjustments described above without a GROL to at least look over your shoulder. I backed mine down to the spec 3.8W and 90% modulation because in my opinion, quality is better than quantity when it comes to radio signals. Also note that if you want your radio "tuned up," you should specify what you want because given the opportunity, many radio techs will just snip the AGC diode and crank the RF power all the way up; this is much faster than performing the entire alignment procedure, and it gives results on a wattmeter that are hard to argue with. And the 959 is tough enough that, depending on how much you talk, you will likely get a couple hundred miles down the road before the finals blow, making a return trip to the radio shop impractical. This radio is also easily programmed to operate on the 10m band if you are licensed to do so, and its extremely sensitive receiver makes it an excellent transverter head unit. The Galaxy DX-959 does not have an echo feature. It does not change colors. It does not play mp3's, and you can't use it to view digital photos. But these are all features that made it an even more attractive rig for me. I like my radios to do radio stuff, and nothing else. (There is a PA feature, by the way.) If you don't want sideband, you can probably do just as well with another Galaxy offering. It may not even be the best choice for SSB given its wandering VCO and vague frequency readout, but these problems are not an issue at all for AM, and I would confidently recommend the Galaxy DX-959 to anyone who wants a CB that gives them communication when they need it. Buy it. You won't be disappointed. Pros: incredible receiver, nice looks, adjustable RF in and out gain. Cons: cheesy-feeling plastic knobs, drifty VCO, 99-cent microphone. ... show more

    • What a GREAT CB!
I bought this rig on a whim and as per some suggestions. I needed to replace my tired, true, and aging Robyn SB-505D circa 1978 SSB CB. I also own a Cobra 140, 146, Sears Roadtalker, and a Cobra 148 GTL, and by far the Galaxy 959 blows them all away! My 959 was not new but a refurb to save some cash. The very first thing i noticed right away was the receiver. The 959 outhears all of my other CB mobile rigs. The signal to noise ratio is great! The transmit is 4 watts to 2 watts dialed back and about 12 watts on SSB. The 4 level meter is great as it shows power, modulation, swr and signal. i did notice the SWR meter is a little off compared to my other swr meters. The freq counter/display is ok but its only 5 digits. It would be a great addition if it was a 6 digit display as most serious SSB users like a 6 digit meter. The RB is ok for some that like silly toys but not for me. The talkback is great to check a mic or an echo board. One thing i dont get is the button to turn off the display lights. Also, this rig does use the same board as the Galaxy "big radios" and it CAN be modded for dual finals, audio mods, and "Other little toys". Overall, I like the 959 and it will make a great addition to my CB collection. ... show more

    • Great radio! Love it!
Style: Green LEDs Product Packaging: Frustration-Free Packaging
The radio is perfect for anyone who doesn't care for menus and having to look down to operate it while driving. Haven't had the opportunity to use SSB yet but it appears to work. Love the built-in SWR meter as it makes it easy to tune the antenna and monitor its tuning as time goes on. The radio is five stars - I took off one star because it shipped in its retail packaging, which has some padding, but probably not sufficient for shipping purposes. Plus, the contents of the package are clearly visible, so it might be an irresistible target for package thieves. I would suggest arranging for post office pickup if this concerns you. (Full disclosure: When testing the radio, I couldn't get any power deflection on the meter in SSB mode. I even used a nearby oscilloscope to convince myself that the SSB function was broken. Amazon took it back no questions asked, paid for the return shipping, then cross-shipped the new unit; I had it in two days. When testing the new unit, I saw the same results - until I talked into the mike. When I did that, the meter flew to high power, but only when I talked. Then I realized the problem - SSB is shorthand for single sideband, suppressed carrier (SSB-SC), and it outputs no power unless modulated. As a retired radio and microwave engineer, I am understandably quite embarrassed at my oversight. Thanks, Amazon, for playing along with my ineptitude!) - "P. Knucklehead," Tucson, AZ. (That handle is a word-play on my favorite card game, not my engineering acumen!) ... show more

    • An Awesome Radio!
Style: Green LEDs Product Packaging: Frustration-Free Packaging
The Galaxy DX 595 is the type of radio I've always wanted. Packed full of features, big beautiful meter, adjustable power, talkback, roger-beep, dimmer....Wow! The radio works very well right out of the box but there is room for improvement. I'm planning to send the radio to a tech who will peak and tune the unit as well as tweaks to the clarifier. I wasn't too happy with the adhesive vinyl coating applied to the outer case. I guess it's a good way to make scuffs and scratches less visible but when I look at the cut-outs for the screw holes on the side of the radio, it looks like nothing more than fancy duct-tape. Also, when the Tone switch is set to LOW the audio sounds really muddy. I have yet to encounter a listening situation requiring a need for the LOW setting so I'll never use it - Hi and MED seems to give the best tones. I have yet to find much action on SSB and I've noticed lot's of bleed-over from AM too. Perhaps thats just the way SSB works, I'll find out more after the tech is done with the adjustments. Either way I love this radio and feel that it was the right choice! ... show more
