I run a ts 667 v ( 1x4 2789) in my last 3 f150s. My current is a 2013, with a wilson 5000 mag mount. My radio is a grant xl basically stock with variable power. I run 250 bird on am 300 ish on ssb when the box is on. I have more power than ears any more would be a waste. Jmho

I bought a 959 from him. It took a little while and I was pissed because I could not get a hold of them in any way but the radio is well done and exceeded all my expectations.
I would have sent them more work because I have a bunch of stuff I want to get done but the lack of communication is...
Sounds like a bad solder joint in the transmit section I am not clear on the tuning issue. I would bet you have 2 issues.
What power supply are you using?
Early grant xls were exactly the same as a philly 148. The later XLs and LTs are slightly more evolved versions of the platform. The XL is the pinnacle of true cb's imho.
None of the 8719 mobiles are AM monsters.
I have bought a nib grant xl for 200 and a nib lt for 100 in the last year. I overpaid for the xl because the ham who had it had kept it in his house. I love the XLs and LTs.
I have no affiliation with lester and own none of his products. He is a Cb legend and a first rate tech. I would take his claims as gospel. I still don't have any desire to own a front mic 148.
959 is only barely a usable as a ssb. I have one and have had receive upgrades done to it and its receiver is still not in the same class as the Philly grant/148 or the president Lincoln/hr platform. IMHO
Find a clean 148 with a side mic or a grant Lt or xl and you will be happy.
If you...
I have a IC7000 in very good shape with a LDG tuner I wish to sell. The mic has been upgraded by ABN5. I have the boxes manuals and factory power cable. I will be glad to text photos if you PM me or I will show it to locals in STL.
