Galaxy AM/SSB CB Radio with 40-Channels (DX-959)

I was in Downey, in Los Angeles County, CA, with a friend of mine on 2 2012 and I talked to someone in Williams Lake British Columbia some 1600 miles away on Side band ch 38 LSB. E-mail me at jesuschrysler1@live.com I have NO linear amp on this radio (just stock 5-15 watts) , which IS against FCC regs,

I use one on my base and one in my 4x4With some easy adjustments and a d104m6b this raido sounds good on am.I dont like the way the radio left the factorySome soldering issues and alignment was needed.These are common in problems with the new mosfet DX959
