I've used an awful lot of radios since 1964, and back in the day my go-to was always Midland or Uniden. In recent times, I have used Galaxy, Uniden, Superstar, Yaesu, and Stryker. Now, we'll take the Yaesu out of the equation because it's not truly affordable and probably has more bells and whistles than people actually want.

So, firstly, my Galaxies all drifted so bad that people were tired of chasing me. Yes, they talked well and sounded fine. but what good is a rig that sounds great on the wrong frequency? My Superstar was a great talking and loud radio. again... off frequency on every other key. Uniden, yada yada off frequency yada yada. I guess this means the only radio I've had that was dead nuts on freq, talks to beat hell, and NEVER drifts is my Stryker. Actually, my Stryker(s), since I own two. From what I hear, the Anytones and Strykers are very close siblings. From my experience, if you want a radio that OTHER people think is great, I would choose one of them. Either Quad 5, Quad 6, or Stryker 955.
