It looks like it has all the bells & whistles you could ask for. Enough to
easily communicate on the trail and more if you so desire. Nice meter. Not
too large, either. Will it fit in your console?

Overpriced with a useless freq. counter and SSB you'll never use. Good
internals made by Ranger. Outstanding S-meter that is durable, although
the lamp behind it will burn out every 5-6 years. Very stable
transmitter, excellent modulation and power swing right out of the box.
Very good radio for what it does.
If all you're after is a decent, durable AM CB radio, consider the
Galaxy 949 instead. The one I own is about 11 years old and is
bulletproof. It's identical to the 959, but without the SSB and freq.
counter, neither of which are of any use to most CB'ers.
If you're after full 10-12 meter coverage, Galaxy's V-series radios are
a bargain. All can be easily unlocked to include 11-meter (CB)
coverage, and have clarifiers that will slide up/down by 5 khz. and a
10-k switch. Copper.com carries an excellent unit (55V) that I like to
recommend for $159; very durable, extremely good noise filtering, FM
mode, and a decent freq. counter that works well. For the ham operator
that needs CB now and then, this is a must-have. This isn't on par with
a President, but it's cheap and will easily take a beating in a Jeep
without complaining, and the black face hides well underneath the dash.

Good luck finding any AM CB that won't drift on SSB. I don't use SSB,
AM or FM so it's a moot point for me. If we need more breathing room
out where it counts on the road, we kick on the linear and move to the
high 12-meter band where Smokey can't listen in.
