    99v2 or 955

    I probably shouldn't judge ALL v2's by mine. The one I had performed lousy in tempatures under 30' degrees. I know, some will say electronics will act crazy in cold tempature and its normal. I don't buy that theory. The thing is all my radios have acted normal in cold temps except the Galaxy...

    99v2 or 955

    99v2 is junk. Had a brand new one for a few months. It has so many bugs in it you have to keep a can of raid sitting next to it.

    This guy every day! 38 low!!!

    I just found Art's obituary online so it is true this time of his passing. Very sad day to lose 4444. It's not very hard to find with Google and a few key words. You can sign his guestbook if you like.

    This guy every day! 38 low!!!

    I hope it's not true. I liked 4444. Never had a bad QSO with him. He was always a class act. Maybe someone in the 60 mile east of LA area can confirm this and post something. An article or something.

    Galaxy DX99V2 VS Stryker 955HP

    Total agreement. Galaxy support is excellent there's no doubt about that but they lack QC at the production line. one was enough for me.

    Galaxy 959 issues

    I don't know much about the 959 but I had a 99v2 that had a dimmer pot knob. If the 959 has one Could it be turned down all the way? Just a thought... The snake had a video once on a 99v2 and he had no clue the radio had a dimmer pot built in so he did a modification to kill the bright...

    Prez lincoln2 and Grant?

    I've had both grant 2 and Lincoln 2. The Lincoln 2 is a pretty good radio. Grant 2 is good but it has some SSB noise issues plus it only does 5's and 0's whereas the Lincoln has VFO. I've heard a lot of good things about the radio 222dbfl mentioned but I've never had one of those so I can't...

    Galaxy DX99V2 VS Stryker 955HP

    Stay away from the 99v2 especially if you live in colder than normal winter environments. I had a brand new 99v2 and it was garbage. Not knocking all of them just the one I had. They work fine above 30 degrees but under that roger beep fouls up. Modulation lamp comes on when you're not talking...

    980 Screen Scratch Fix

    Haven't used one yet on my HTX-10 yet but that's the next radio to get the face lift. The newer zaggs are made of "glass". I put one on my wife's iPhone 6 and she dropped her car keys on the screen. It looked like the phone screen had shattered from a bad break but it was the zagg. I was...

    Poll for CB radio Operators

    1.5 watts AM 10 watts PEP SSB 1.5 watts gets the job done nicely. ;)

    President Lincoln 2 ver. 3 VS. President George overall performance requesting input...

    I had a brand new 99v2 and it was junk. Not knocking all 99v2's just the one I had. QC must have been absent the day mine was built. President Lincoln 2 is a much better radio than the 99v2.
