Hey neighbor once you get your 959 and have it peaked out we have to have a barefoot keydown and see which comes out on top,Cobra or Galaxy.To the other members stay tuned we will be sure to post the results as soon as we key.Shawn

I'm anxious, bounce

lets do it. I'll have to gay it all up before there's any keying going on though......

The cobra if done right will win hands down in a stock final to stock final key down. king

i would also think a peaked & tuned cobra 29 WITH A STOCK FINAL would out power a peaked & tuned 959 with a stock final. no offense, but in my experience, any galaxy with a 3 number digit is garbage.

Well, my old 29 had a 1969 chip in it and my new 979 gets out better on AM.
just my $.02

There's your problem, the 1969 final swap is garbage in my opinion. A stock final is better because it keeps more watts on frequency. When most people put a 1969 final in they try and volt it out and it creates a lot of harmonics and spurious transmissions.

It is what it is...... I'm not expecting it to be what my ss158 is, but i'll screw around with it and see what it does.

If I ever get my bench set back up, I'll redo that radio for free and you can see the difference for yourself.

Oh it will def. take some time. I sold all my crap because I was planning on putting a second alt. on my truck and running a 1x2 driving a straight 12 pill. Figured screw working on radio's, had all that equipment just to work on my stuff and my close friends stuff. Never did it for money or anything. After I sold all my stuff I lost my job so it will be a slow process.

Guest

I just got all my stuff in order for the most part, it's time to do a little tuning on a $13 special, which btw thanks shawn. if I can't get what I want outta this radio you want it back? lol I'm not much for the ST 25s, need more of a straight LTD 25 for bashful to use in the car.

Rooster, I'll have to throw my 25NWSTWX in the truck for you to hear. She freakin screams. Don't give up on that thing......

Guest

I have faith, but need the RF pot for a variable mod. I don't like knobs through the case, not to mention this will be an in dash install in the mirage.
