- Technical Details
Considered the little brother to the Galaxy DX959, the DX979 deserves it's own recognition. The shining qualities in this radio include single sideband ( USB / LSB ) as well as a large easy-to-read display. The built-in auto-calibbrating SWR meter is a trademark feature that you won't find in many other CB's.
The difference of this radio versus the Galaxy DX959 is that you won't find a frequency display, as a result the overall size of the chassis has been decreased to that of the Cobra 29 series.
Something else you won't find on the Galaxy DX959 is the starlite illuminated faceplate, a feature this radio offers that allows the easiest use in a dark or night environment.

Galaxy DX979 Reviews
The 979 is a GREAT!!!! radio iI consistantly talk 12-15 miles , my best being 17.5 . I live in the midwest in a somewhat hilly area, this radio is perfect for my small pick up and schould work well in yours too.
Good radio gets out clear when i ran my wilson 5000 mag mount running i was getting out 8-10 miles very good radio i love the faceplate lighting very good idea only wish they could bring that feature over to the Galaxy CD959
This Galaxy DX979 AM/SSB is great the sound is understandable and clear I have a Cobra Base Station (142 GTL) and it is not as clear as the Galaxy Excellent Radio/Purchase.
