Great product

After a bad experience with my first ever Galaxy radio purchase, I ordered another DX-979 on December 7 from another Amazon seller. Seller upgraded me to a DX-979F (with frequency counter), as part of a promotion which I found very generous. That is why this will not show up as a verified purchase even though it was purchased through amazon. I received the radio a few days later and hooked it up to my base antenna. After using it for a few hours I noticed the receive getting very garbled, screechy, and harsh sounding on both AM and SSB. I tried the radio for a couple more days even communicating between this radio and the Cobra 25 in my truck and 2 other known good radios. Still getting harsh sounding receive on the Galaxy. The Galaxy's transmit was beautiful and clear. This is the second Galaxy radio I have purchased in the past few months and I have not been impressed by this manufacturer. I thought maybe the first DX-979 was a fluke. It had the garbled audio problem and after three days of use it would not transmit. I tried several good functioning mics, and my base antenna SWR is 1.1:1 so I know neither was the problem. That radio was sent back for a refund. The DX-979F was also sent back for a refund, also due to the garbled, harsh receive problem. I didn't want to wait to see if the transmit would go out . I believe there is a defect with the AGC circuit in these radios that Galaxy needs to get sorted out. Clear, loud transmit doesn't do you a bit of good if the receive audio is horrible and you can't understand the person on the other end. I cannot recommend these radios. Amazon and the seller were very helpful. The radio defect is no fault of either Amazon or the seller.

I'm a long time radio operator. My friends and I are impressed with this radio on AM and SSB. Good clear loud audio!! The receive is very good as well.

Works great and after peak and tune, it's awesome.

Love mine but I got mine form wellcot

I did not buy through Amazon but i just got the radio today.After a few minutes warming up it was right on frequency and i have been getting nothing but good reports right out of the box.I wanted a basic cb with sideband and this one was a good choice.I heard horror stories about the old 979 how they would come out of the box off frequency costing people for them to be aligned but not with mine.I noticed they moved manufacturing to Vietnam and i think it was a good choice.I have a 980ssb that was made in Vietnam and that one was on frequency out of the box as well.

As listed. Top notch radio
