I was thinking about getting a DX-959. A friend has a DX-959 and the transmit current in ssb, dead key, no modulation, is almost 3 amps. Is that normal? Right? Thanks
 

This is from the alignment procedure instructions for the non-Mosfet model. You didn't say which version your friend has. For the Mosfet model, you go to Galaxy DX Radios and email them for the alignment procedure on the new 959.
