I have 2 959's and I did the mods as necessary, especially the clarifier mod is almost a must if you are going to use sideband, which I do. You can use either as a base, I switch around all the time with different radios as I suppose lots do.
If you have the equipment and are at all good with...
It may not be intentional if he has beams he may never hear you as he hears people you would never hear with a GP and whomever he's talking to may over ride your signal/modulation as well.
It's all about conditions as well, I have a guy who says he's in Chicago, Ils that bleeds over both sides...
The one thing I didn't see here was what is your SWR readings altho my DiPol has a perfect match and is noisy as well but my ground plane is for the most part ok but has noisy/static times.

Since then I have purchased 3 radios from Ebay and 2 of the 3 were excellent radios and...
Well not sure which is the best, don't know if there is such a thing as it depends on what works for you or me, but I sure can say that this A-99 at about roof level sure has done a great job for me, if this one ever gets hit by mother nature I may try a metal GP next, I also have a DiPol up and...
