Very Strong, Loud Talking Radio by Carl (New Mexico)  5 Stars
February 07, 2009
Have had the Galaxy for six months now. Get a lot of compliments on the audio. Talks a good distance. On SSB will reach out and touch someone when tuned.

Just over 1year later my Galaxy DX-959 is going strong, still load and clear! Great unit indeed! by James L. Dupree (Covington,Ga.) 5 Stars
December 14, 2008
Thinking about buying another one as a base unit for the house. My present one works great with a Firestik 5' (I think its a 5 footer) Talks 3-4 miles barefoot, trans/recv.

Good rig at a low price by William Potter (MD) 5 Stars
February 06, 2008
Having spent the last 40 years of my life living in the UK, and always wanting that big typical all American black and chrome style side band rig, with big output, and lots of presence, I decided to do some searching and reading reviews about what was currently available, I finally came up with this rig, basically for the service and what you get straight out of the box (a 2 year warranty) and a rig that's easy use while your driving, it has plenty of audio and RF clout, it will generally stamp all over everyone (with what looks like 10-12 watts peak AM modulation) It has a roger beep and you can turn this on or off if you don't want it. plus if your like me and you fancy tweaking the screws or installing graveyard channels... this can be done with fairly easy hardware mods.
(Just google it). Anyway..
I decided to buy this for myself as a kinda early Christmas present,... and the rig arrived and I took to installing and hooked it up to a K40 on a gutter mount..
The SWR was real good first time, and setting this up using the built in SWR meter is also a very nice touch, was a doodle, I don't have an SWR meter any longer, so this was a nice touch... the rig has built in SWR 3:1 alert in the form of a red LED, that's just in case the coax or the antenna gets damaged... or the SWR goes open or shorted.
I have to say this rig is very good for the money, it doesn't feel cheap at all, and it looks the part in my truck, the SSB portion is outstanding, and I have no issues calling up to 50-80 miles.. (Standard propagation) and during skip conditions, I've had very decent contacts first call 1000 miles out.. with a reported 3+4
If your thinking about a rig with SSB and don't want to spend too much of your hard earned dollars, then you wont be disappointed with this Galaxy model DX959...
I certainly love mine.

Awesome Radio For price!!!!!! Galaxy 949/959 (same except 959 has freq meter..) by Ray G. (Chattanooga, TN) 5 Stars
June 25, 2006
Been a driver for 20 yrs, always ran "el cheapo" radio stock out of box. decided to get big radio and looked for awhile b4 deciding on a 959, (same as 949 except has freq meter) it has features only found(and not found in some cases)on much more expensive models!! The ones that got me were variable talkback,4 stage LARGE meter that you can actually see and use ,(signal, modulation,power and swr),freq meter, ...so, I paid more than this site because i bought at a truck stop(pilot) paid 200. took to local radio shop and did basic peak and tune and added echo board (70$total)
and now get nothing but compliments all day!!! Big Galaxy sound!!! my driving buddies tell me i key up all over traffic on 19 and sound great doing it. my out of pocket is well below 300$ and you can save even more buying online. Also 2 year warranty is not voided by any mods you do as long as the mod doesnt cause the problem you send it in for!!!couldnt find that with any other radio!!! Another reviewer mentioned swr warning light may come on before 2.5 to 1 and this is true with mine also but i dont mind this ,i consider it an "early warning system" however if it bothers you galaxy is aware of prob and has solution on their support site. prob a 5$ fix at a radio shop
For example my buddy has a general lee, has about 350$ in it and it does sound great and all but he is jealous of all the features and good looks of mine and considering getting one!!
