It's a nice 40ch ssb radio. Same chassis as the Galaxy 959, just not the same features.

If this radio has the same chassis as a Galaxy 959 does it drift off freq like I have heard about the Galaxy line. Thanks

The complaints of drift were from the 3600 chassis like in a 88 or 99. The 959/696 use different chassis.
The old Superstar 3900 has the 3600 chassis, does drift a bit until warm, never bothered me though, it has a coarse clarifier.
