    Here is a picture of the new cb I got! It's a galaxy 949 with an astatic mic and Wilson 2000 antenna.

    I'm gonna keep it the way it is, I want to get it peaked and tuned but I'm afraid to let someone open it and hack it up. I would like to get a linear amp for it as well about 125 watts would be do me fine.

    sparkys does good work . got my 78ltw talking good .
    since you want to be clean and its an SSB capable radio you might want to consider the palomar 225 . its an AB biases 2x1446 pill amp with automatic ssb switching , and filtering too . a very clean little box . i like mine a lot .

    I planned on keeping it on am most of the time, I just wanted a Galaxy cause I've heard they are great radios with more features. I especially like the side mounted mic connector for some reason.

    Does it need to be peaked and tuned to use a linear amp or can a stock radio handle a linear amp?

    all new radios can benefit from a proper alignment , exports more than regular cb's . depends on the amp as far as a tune up goes . a radio modulating 30 watts into a texas star 500 will get all the clean power four 2879's can do .
