JesseJames:
The Galaxy DX-949 and DX-959 are the same inside, the '959 is just a '949 with a frequency display. This mod will open the radio to 26.695 to 27.965 MHz instead of the normal 26.965 to 27.405 MHz FCC CB band. This is perfect because the radio covers the 26.915 and 27.555 MHz freeband calling frequencies.
Remove bottom cover from radio.
On the main PCB, locate J33.
Locate wires on pins marked "P5" (yellow) & "P6" (grey).
Cut wire on "P5" (yellow) and install a SPST switch in line.
Cut wire on "P6" (grey) and install a SPST switch in line.
You use the switches to change bands on the radio, simply install two SPST switches in the back of the radio and therefore you don't have to cut up the faceplate or remove any of the orginal switches. The radio works great in all of the channels, however, some people have say that the built-in SWR meter gives false readings near the lower and higher frequencies, so just use another external SWR meter.
Here is the Frequency Coverage with the mod.

Unlock the Fine Tune Control!

#3 ~ Remove D-38
#4 ~ Place wire across D-38 mounting holes.
#5 ~ Place wire from J-14 pin +8V to J-9 pin F1
ALSO
All this info was gotten off the web, some from Coppers site, some from defpom, and some from mods.dk. I personally havent ever realy played with a 959, so take this info with a grain of salt! On the other hand it is all coming from reliable sources! It all should work well. If you would like to read all of this info direct from the sources just google "galaxy 959 channel mod" (without the quotes) and you will find it all, that's how I did.
Good luck and have fun
