Hey,
I am very happy with my 959, it is a real nice radio. It has all the features that one could want. I like the automatic SWR's meter, just key the mic. and read.
I have mine hooked up to my Messenger 1200 now and it does a fine job driving that. I have other radios I could use, but the 959 seems to work the best in this set-up
As always these are just my opinions, Jeff aka Lucky
