I just ordered my galaxy 959 can someone rate this for me? What does copper peak and tune consist of?What else should I have done this radio? It will be used with a wilson 1000 or maybe as a base from time to time. |

I think you will like this radio, you get a lot for your money. i have a 949 and if the 959 has the same speaker you will want to get an external one for it, the stock one is junk. |

I use a 959 for 11 meter am/ssb. it is a great radio. I find that if properly peaked and tuned, you will have no problem with shooting skip and local dxing. I especially like the variable power knob, so that when I use my KL amp, I can turn it down to 1.5 watts on am and talk all over. |

I have a 959 that copper did a peak and tune on. I've had it for less than a week in my Jeep with a nothing special radio shack magnet mount antenna on the roof and have talked to Amarillo Texas from my home area in Breezy Point NY. No additional amp needed.
Hope that helps you.
