I'm keeping my eyes on the 955 plus it's got more channels than a 959 can ever have.
I would do some research for sure, if I didn't have 2 magnum 257hp's I would get one myself, I have settled into my current setup that I am happy with in the mobile. It's a uniden pc122xl and magnaforce 350HD. Biased b amp and not over driving it. It sounds clean and gets my name called. I am saving the magnums for my base setup. Don't get me wrong though, the 955 has been in my sights as well as I have heard a lot of good things about it. The only negatives are they are kind of hard to figure out, but to me that's fun lol. I sit and read the manuals over and over, makes for good toilet reading material lol. Anyway good luck and god bless.
I'm trying to repair my K40 Speech Processor mic. The little piece that changes resistance when voice audio pressure waves vibrates the mic diaphragm is broken. Does anyone have an K40 speech processor mic they want to sell? I tried to use an electret mic element and a dynamic mic element but the electret element needs 5 volts to operate and I think that the impedance needs matched up with the speech processor circuitry.
I checked the impedance on the unbroken part of the K40 element and it registers on my ohmmeter but doesn't on the part that's past the cracked place. I strummed my finger accord the element and that produces an audio output so the rest of the mic guts work.
If you look at the photo you'll see where it's cracked

Just thought I'd check up on this thread. The CRE-8900 was donated to Goodwill along with others I've collected including several NIB 35-40 year old CB'S.
I am however been watching videos about the Radioddity DT80. Pull the cover,plug the jumper into the second position to get 10,11,12,and 15 meters.
Anybody seen it yet?
Also ,I haven't been on here for a while
