hi. i have a galaxy 959 thinking about adding these products to my radio. the cp1 compressor, and mp1 modulator. both products offered by top gun tech. any input would be helpful. would it be worth doing the mod.

If you want to try a Top Gun equipped radio then just buy a new Magnum radio. I would not waste money having it installed in a regular c.b. set. There are alot of people that had the SP-1A processor installed and ended up with real talking radio's. Whatever you decide have Bob's c.b. install it, they developed it and seem to be the only ones that get it right all the time.

hi again. was thinking of installing it myself. or is it to complicated? willing to give it a try.

I had the Top Guns boards installed in my Galaxy 73 and I think it made quite a diffrence. Everyone that I talk to before and after the installation said it sounds alot louder. I had Bob do mine since he is the man behind the Top Gun boards.

The compressor is a good item, but I don't care for the modulators.

Back when the "top Gun" was first included in the Magnum radios, I put one on the bench and looked over the o-scope signal with the TG on and off. When on, all it seems to do is jack the carrier portion of the signal way up for the period that modulation is happening, then allow it to drop back out as soon as modulation ceases. I haven't had a chance to look at the signals closely on a spectrum analyzer yet, so I can't comment on whether any actual sideband increase is happening.

Does the SP-1A just have an on and off switch or is it a variable type control?

Butcher318,
The way I had my 2950DX set up. I used the SWR Button on the radio to turn the SP-1A ON and OFF.. Really and Neat set up..

Bob's Cb Radio does excellent work but before you send your radio ask what's the turn around time. I sent him a radio and he had a lot of radios to work on and mine took about 3 months. Does really good work like they said...

I started a thread in the Tech Bench section covering this topic, with some o'scope and spectrum analyzer photos, for those of you who are interested in getting technical about the Top Gun.
