Best Budget Builds? DX959 RFX95HD Is Great Choice | CB Radio | UR6QW Echo

[@kilroy205]

wish more radios had meters like this

[@philipredmond4787]

Nice work Matt! What a nice setup, and a great sounding echo board too! Hope you have a nice vacation, I look forward to another Membership program once you’ve got it ready to go 👌🏻

[@TheRadioGarage]

Very much appreciated!! Membership program is officially back up and runnning..will be adding lots of videos to the members section shortly. Thanks 👊

I have a few old school radios I want to install RFX amplifier.... We need to talk Matt....... Great Video Brother

[@Hobo-Henry]

Very kool, this is something i want to do when you open up for send in's. put a RFX95, 10 turn clarifier and a 5 band EQ into the Cobra 148GTL you did for me last time. (I even have the RFX and EQ ready to send) my brother is using a Palomar TX100 on the 148 you did for him. it sounds great. I really like the older radios like the Uniden PC76XL and the Cobra 29 LTD for A.M. And the 148's and Grant XL's for SSB.

[@55weirdharold]

Gotta love those 959’s ! And the 959b’s ! Great job. 73 Harold

[@TheRadioGarage]

Yes indeed!!

[@Joe_HamRadioGuy]

The older radios were definitely built way better than today's radios. That one with the rfx would be great to drive a 4 pill or 6 pill amp. Have a great weekend buddy ✌🏼

[@TheRadioGarage]

Yep that's one thing that you really get is flexibility when running a rfx with a on/off switch option. You could literally run everything from a 2 pill to 6 pill!! Appreciate you stopping in 👋👍

[@mred3660]

Awesome full size radio great work Matt

[@justinrayguitars6024]

Good advice! Older radios are much better at least I think so.

[@TheRadioGarage]

Agreed!

[@sagnbaby]

it would be nice if people used them as much as they did back in the day!!

[@maynardhirschey5986]

Great job

[@stonefacedgrasshopper2200]

Retirement introduces limited income, not limited imagination. Older radios were built better and can be found for pennies on the dollar just about anywhere. In this we are unanimous. Thanks again for the shout out. Enjoy your vacation, Matt. 👋 😑🦗

[@TheRadioGarage]

Hello my friend, you were the first one that popped in my head when I thought who took advantage of a deal on an older rig and got it upgraded. Definitely appreciate all the support and feedback 🙏 👍💪🇺🇲..thanks for the well wishes

[@jamescarey5617]

I have an old general Washington that I have used since 2007. How can I get in contact with you to see what you can do with it? It’s running one channel off, tune it to 18 to talk on 19, just for one of the issues I’m having with it… Thank you… great videos and I’m glad someone out there actually takes pride in their work.

[@TheRadioGarage]

Not currently accepting any more mail-ins..thanks for checking out the channel

[@mitchh6702]

Beeeyootiful!! Wonder if my Galaxy Pluto would be a good candidate for this upgrade?

[@TheRadioGarage]

Did a Pluto with RFX95HD not long ago actually..have a video of it in my members section

[@mitchh6702]

Sounds like I am missing out on some of the FUN!

[@slowpoke1562]

Sweet👌

[@ironhead320]

Sounds good

[@blazinSpike]

I have a 959 was going to do some upgrades but the radio hasn't worked for a while

[@MrHawkei67]

Got 4 of these RFX95HD amps. Just installed one on a cobra 29 Ltd classic doing 22w peak output. With the amp installed and wired up correctly, in only seeing 50w peak output and meter light on radio dims. Could it be the power cable I'm using? It's the factory 4a wire. Could upgrading the power wire make that much of a difference?

[@MrHawkei67]

Amp does not run hot at all and the reports on air are that it sounds great for a stock mic.

[@Hydrostream1972]

👍👍👍👍

My favorite radio 1990 Philippine 148 GTL

[@samward9641]

When I opened up the Philippine and the Taiwan man they were using all the same stuff, I couldn't really find a difference between the two.. then I opened up a Chinese one and yeah I noticed a big difference, now if I could get a Malaysian I would like to see how close it is to Taiwan and the Philippine

[@jojojeep1]

@@samward9641 first one was Philippine my second one was Malaysian but today’s radios for $225. You can get a quad five and have all the extra frequencies built in Eco built in everything I can’t see buying a Filippini 148 four $250 that radio can’t hold a stick to the new radios, something I never ever believe that would say

[@Mike-bk8zl]

Do you have any nice ranger or striker radios that do side band for sale ?? and if you have one that needs some work, I could be interested in that too

[@Supertrucker66]

Agree with most all of the video. But the audio on 959 just isn’t great. What can you do to clean up the audio ?

[@TheRadioGarage]

Not sure what you mean..I have skip gates from customers who have 959’s and they are getting told they have great audio.

[@ManuelLopez-gt6lk]

Nice

[@jamesmcgee2447]

👍🏻👍🏻

[@BinnyAlvarez-eh4zj]

I'm looking for 148 Cobra. I need one I. Saw that you had a couple. How can I get ahold of you and buy one?

[@TheRadioGarage]

I don't have any for sale.

[@briansnyder1497]

I have a 2012 959 galaxy i love u to that to mine and unlock clarifyer

[@TheRadioGarage]

Right on ✅️

[@GageGonzalez954]

Man I’m trying to learn how to build radios due to there not being a shop with in 500 miles of me

[@Radionut]

What’s with the ferrite bead on the mic cord

[@TheRadioGarage]

It helps me sleep at night

[@Al_Nunnery]

I'd love to have a 959 with a rfx or . A Cobra 148f gtl with rfx Would Be Totally Flippin Awesome ... hey Matt do ya have any SSB radios with rfx available

[@TheRadioGarage]

I don't have any pre-done but can put one on something for you

[@fadinrenegade]

How are you mounting the UR6QW echo board in the radio?

[@TheRadioGarage]

With little L-brackets

[@cecilsquires3105]

Where are you

[@buckaroobonsi555]

So what type of car or SUV do you and your wife drive? Can you mount an RFX95 equipped radio in either vehicle where you can see the radio and work the controls especial SSB? The RFX95 makes an already huge radio even larger and longer.

[@TheRadioGarage]

Yes I sure can fit a radio with a rfx95hd on it..not saying the rfx kit is for everyone ..just wanted to through out thoughts on some things and see what the viewers think..thanks for watching

[@nomadnorthman4973]

Could you sell me one and ship to Canada

[@radioman6489]

There all drifting machines

[@cecilsquires3105]

I have several 29's I'll send all i ha e if you build me 1
