Very good radio, heavy and large. The only thing I dont like about the radio is the GNF Galaxy Noise Filter it dont sound good unless you get a external speaker. I use it as a base radio. I had it in my truck got rave reviews on how strong it got out. I fell in love with it enough to bring it in as a base radio and take a cheaper base used radio out to my work truck. I was sort of concerned that somebody could try to steal it also. It's not cheep but you will get what you pay for. If you want a radio that puts out monster audio this is the radio to have :)

I purchased this radio after having to return another brand of radio I purchased that was not functioning properly.
The Galaxy DX 949 is very cost effective and it has everything you could ask for on a CB/Sideband Radio. It seems to be a well built radio that has been time-proven for durabulity.
The built in SWR is great, it has a self calibration feature that gives you a quick SWR reading without the hassle of recalibrating for each channel checked.
The Power Wattage output feature is a breeze as well and compliments the adjustable wattage output function.
The radio has three different LED's to let you know about possible antenna/SWR problems, Rodger Beep on/off and one that changes color from red to green when broadcasting or recieving.
There are a lot of knobs and toggle switches to get used to and several of the knobs function as a on-off push buttons for other functions. After a bit of use a person can operate this radio without having to search for or look at the radio to make adjustments.
The large analog style meter is easy to read and seems like it gives more precise readouts than the digital style meters.
The radio also has the "Galaxy Noise Filter" in addition to the standard two function noise reducing feature. Other CBers I talk to respond with commenting on how clear the output signal is.
I am very pleased to have gone with the decision to go "Galaxy".

The Galaxy DX 949 is an outstanding radio with heaps of features including built in SWR meter, mic gain and roger beep. Testing has shown that it performs to full power specs and the long distant skip contacts I have made confirm the quality of the output this radio delivers. The only thing I miss is the scanning feature often found on other AM radios otherwise, this radio is everything a SSB user needs.
