Galaxy 99 a good choice?

[REDNECK]

I have everything from a galaxy 66to a galaxy 2517 base and I personally would not recommended anything but. The locals around here run from 100-3000 watts and they take it. We set our up between 25.000-28.000 and we have no problems. They do have to be converted from ham though.They all include fm,am,ssb,cw. I have never had a problem with them and I use them hard offroad and onroad.They also have the best echo boards in them.I would stick with the wilson 1000(the best anteanna in the world) because the 5000 sometimes has trouble with the SWR's. You also get alot more interferance with them. I set mine in the center of my roof and did not have to even set the SWR's. There is one catch, you can not use reverb with a power microphone. But that is easy to fix just turn it off. In my opinion they are worth every cent!!

I HAVE A GALAXY DX-99V AND AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT. I BOUGHT MINE USED FOR $200.00. I'VE GOT IT IN A 76 K/5 WITH A 102" STAINLESS STEEL WHIP ON THE ROOF LIGHT BAR. MY SWR'S ARE FLAT, AND WITH THE POT BELLY SPRING I DON'T WORRIE ABOUT TREE LIMS. I'VE SHOT SKIP ALL ACROST THE COUNTRY WITH IT. I THINK THE GALAXY DX-99V IS A GOOD CHOICE. IT'S YOUR MONEY, BUY WHAT YOU LIKE.
