Can these units be converted for extra channels? How would you rate them on a scale of 1-10? Comments?

Howdy Wildbill,this just a suggestion,why not get a export Galaxy that already has the extra channels in it and have it converted for 11 meter usage. The fine folks at copper can do that you know.(shamless plug)lol.

Wildbill Maby im wrong but why would you buy a 959 then want to put in " extras " why not just go get a export radio cut one jumper and its done. I had 2 959's and bought them becaues there " CB " radios i did not like the way they worked and sold them.For that kina money you could buy a mag 257 and have 5000 ch.

Yes they can be converted similar to the grant and 148. I think they are nice rigs for the price if you want a 40ssb rig.

i own one and the varible pwr is really nice to have along with the varible talkbalk.my opion it makes those 148cobras look like a p.o.s. and if the 148 is so great why didnt they come up with these features first. huum oh i owned a cobra 148 am modulation sucked unless you clip the audio limiter witch is dumb. the galaxy had awsome modulation on am everyone thinks im running a 99v thumbs-up to galaxy
