    United States federal government shutdown of 2013

    It all has to do with responsibility as these politicians have the most prestigious job in America and they can't agree and do their jobs as responsible Government officials and put us the American public on the back burner on most decisions they make and usually that's done with the lobbyists...

    Galaxy DX 959 opinions

    One mans junk is another mans treasure so who cares if anyones radio is better then my DX-959, I don't tell what radio I'm using on the air unless someone asks and all I get is good reports on how I sound, all I say is I'm using one of those drifters for a radio if they ask I tell them a Galaxy...

    galaxy dx 66v

    I'll tell ya it probably isn't worth fixing unless you just want a good AM cb radio, I still have a dx-66v left over from my truck driving days and yeah it was a great radio, mine did about 23w and still does, but now I'm into sideband and of course this 66v won't do that and you might do better...

    Every day Spanish skip.

    I don't do Mexican skip but do do skip mostly on lsb where the English speaking folks like me hang out, to me much better then the noise on AM, if it gets to bad I just shut the radio off until the next time. Today it was real good for me, lots of good talking people today up as far as Nome...

    buying another radio

    Maybe I should have sent it back, but point is this radio shouldn't have been sent to me in this condition in the first place, so I'm the lucky one and I have no axe to grind with this company or anyone else if your referring to me, it is what it is and Longhaireddwb asked and I reported my...

    buying another radio

    Another thing I forgot is that there is a cap either put in or was in there near VR-14 that was shorting out at times on another component near by I found by accident I had to bend away from the other component. It was causing my power supply to kick out and the radio would not come on.

    buying another radio

    I bought a brand new dx-959 from CustomCBradios.com several months ago and I would not recommend them, that radio was supposed to be aligned, peaked and tuned as well as the viagra board put in which it was, this was over a $300 radio, after a while I noticed that it was not on frequency and I...

    Star Duster

    Looks good, this is in my future as well along with a 30' pushup mast, right now using an A-99 but thinking of replacing with a starduster as well, but my mast will be on the ground and attached to the house and guy wires if I go all the way up, yours must have been a nice job to do.

    30' pushup and Starduster-400

    I would like some opinions please: I presently have a A-99 at rooftop level and am considering purchasing a 30' pushup mast and a Sirio StarDuster M-400 antenna, I used to have a starduster back in the 70's and it was a great antenna then, how are they now, still as good? I know I...

    Simultaneously Testing the Ears!

    I wouldn't do that, what I have done was record (use my cell phone for recording video) each cb radio and me talking explaining things to myself as I go for each radio, no radio is the exact same for reception and ears, I have 4 radios and all hear a little differently and for DX this is...

    DX-959 Receiver Alignment Typo Error

    I guess it helps to look at the schematic, but still wonder why that isn't on the parts list as a IC2 and is it really an IC it kinda doesn't look like one, what does it do, do you know, kinda looks like a distribution point of sorts. Thanks.

    DX-959 Receiver Alignment Typo Error

    I'm not sure where to post this so here goes: I can't seem to get a hold of anyone at cbtricks to find out it there is a typo on the receive alignment page for the DX-959 Receiver Alignment for the LSB Sensitivity: Set radio to CH 19 LSB mode.VOL control fully clockwise.RF SG setting to...

    DO MODS ON A CLASSIC 148GTL OR A GALAXY 959 DX?

    BTW, I don't believe that the 959 has an echo capabilities stock unless it was added by a shop, that's something only my 99v has.

    DO MODS ON A CLASSIC 148GTL OR A GALAXY 959 DX?

    I think the secret to the 959 for the sound you want is to use a good external speaker with the tone on Lowest sound and I don't mean the speakers they sell for external speakers I mean like a bass speaker around 10" or so, some of the people come in loud and proud and sound real good with the...
