You all are more versed than I so the question is:
Of the above two radios for mobile consideration, which is the better all round radio. Mostly for AM?
Thanks in advance
Ok I have 2 95Ts not the 95T2. I have had both radios for about 3 yrs and never had an issue. I bought both off craigslist. One radio has the NPC red wire mod, the other is stock. I talk on both AM and SSB and I always get compliments on the radio sounding excellent! I personnaly think it does great on SSB.
I also use a power mic and I have no problems at all. both radios run about 150-170 watts. The one radio cooling fan rattles a little bit, and the other radio I put on a new starlite faceplate because it wouldnt light up anymore. Both excellent radios! I personally would recommend one. any more questions....just ask.
Good luck!
70CST I've had them both, Galaxy is a good choice for AM but all the ones I have had do drift around on SSB, some people say something some don't, the S-9 will be a little off on SSB when dead cold but gets right on and stays there all day. The Galaxy has a easier to read meter, so it's a tough choice. I do like Magnum radios more than the Galaxy ones but that's because I am on SSB 99% of the time. Someone mentioned the RCI 2970N2, thats a good choice, they stay on frequency and you could turn it down a little run it at like 125 watts or so and get some long life out of it too.

I have a 95T2 and it's a very stout performer on AM. So so on SSB in my opinion. I don't own a S9, but have a S6-175 which is very similar without the SSB. It also works well on AM, but I prefer the overall quality of the Galaxy. It just seems better built to me and controls have much better 'feel'..The channel selector on the Magnum is especially flimsy.
