Galaxy DX-86v or Galaxy 979F for base?
- Thread starter CB590
- Start date
“Skip” is it’s favorite condition. And it’s a Galaxy . . truckers pause before replying on AM-19.
My 979 is going to get sent out for repair & align, etc, then go to a new home with a driver I respect (far more bills than me).
I like them both.
Something else “might” be better, but the 959 and these two are damned hard to beat for pleasurable day in & out mobile use.
Am sitting in west OKC tonight listening to Rattlesnake & Friends more than a dozen miles distant.

Have to say I think I am kinda lucky as long I let my Texas Ranger 696 FD1, "959 clone," warm up for 30 min it seems to hold pretty steady on SSB. I have been using it as my main base. That's what I was told when I bought it, been doing that ever since. I did run it as a mobile for a few years in a Ford Explorer. It has been my favorite CB for mobile use. I do recall sitting on the side of the road many times listening to skip.
Galaxy 86v $229 w/free ship from effingham radio on eBay.
Two (2) left.
List is $330. Most places $260-270.
