DX959B - Single Sideband Plus A Large Easy To Read Auto-Calibrating SWR Meter means you get a lot in this popular CB radio.
One of Galaxy's most popular radios just got better. Introducing the all new Galaxy DX959B! This is the same, popular radio loved for years by avid Galaxy fans, but now with Blue Lights and an EL Illuminated Faceplate!
The Galaxy DX939 has been popular due to it's all blue lights and illuminated faceplate, but the 939 lacked single sideband. The Galaxy DX959 has been a popular single sideband radio, but it was stuck in the Green light past. The new Galaxy DX959B has merged the features of both radios into one.
The 959B CB SSB radio comes with a variable display light control which will affect the channel, meter, and frequency lights only, while keeping the backlit EL Faceplate the same. This means at night, when you need to turn down the display lights, the EL Faceplate will remain visible.
Just like the older 959 the DX959B comes with Single Sideband, an increasingly rare feature in modern CB radios. As well as a variable RF power control to adjusted AM carrier power, built-in Roger Beep, and a large, easy to read, SWR / S/RF Meter.

Why doesn't Talkback work on my Galaxy 959?
The talkback knob can be pushed in and out. This is a hidden control that easily missed as no other radios do this. Push in the knob to turn talkback on and off, then turn the knob to adjust the talkback volume.
Why doesn't my galaxy 959 light up?
The dimmer knob toggles the lighting on and off. Push the dimmer knob in to turn the lights on. Then turn the dimmer knob to adjust the brightness.
Do I set my galaxy 959 to am or usb or lsb?
The default mode is AM for 99% of all CBer's.
Galaxy DX959B Reviews
Does not have punch
Very noisy receiver , even though I had it tuned and peaked it just does not have enough punch. Don't like the tone controls, sound out of speaker is horrible. Everyone tells me I need a amplified mic on this radio. I have the mic gain, RF Power gain and RF Gain all the way up also. The Galaxy 66v3 is a better radio, just wish it had a Roger beep. The 66v3 has more punch, quieter receive and people tell me it sounded better. Very disappointed in the 959B.
This radio ROCK'S,
The name GALAXY say's it all Rock Solid!!
It has all the features that I was looking for in a large frame radio that I can use in my truck. It is a great sounding and a solid preforming radio that has a lot of potential it just needs a peak and tune and you need a good antenna and you are good to go. I'm doing the dual final mod to mine and I just run the stock mike for better modulation 100% with the stock mike very loud and clear over the air. I have the 636L but I think it's just junk with my setup I get low around 80% modulation with the 636L.
Like's
All but two things
Dis Like's
The blue S-Meter hard to see at night with the dimmer turned down just low enough so it doesn't distract you while you are driving I'm going change my back light to white and red in the back ground of the S-Meter white on the receive side and red on the transmit side then all is awesome.
And the frequency shifting until it gets warmed up but that I can live with it's not a deal breaker for me.
Recently purchased. So far a great radio get distance and sound quality
