Lesson learned 918, the 959 is not one of my fav radios either.  They just drift too much for me.  If you need a powerful radio, maybe a 2970 would be a better option. But IMO, a radio and external amp of that size should be separated.  While not having any bells and whistles, the optima is an SSB talking radio.  I can't find a flaw in mine anyway.
