No SSB on either model, no thanks!
Wrong!! I have two, one year old, Galaxy DX 959s and the radios are SSB. I use one of the Galaxy's as a base radio. It just does not have a scanner capability.

I guess I got confused.
There are a bunch of real nice Export radio CBs that have expanded CB channels and have more punch as well. Yeah those old cobras were nice but there are better alternatives today.
Perhaps I'm naïve, but since the channels are specified by the FCC, how do you "expand" them?
No legal CB radio sold in the US was ever rated at 75 watts.

I saw it with my own eyes in the 70's and it was old then. I believe it was about the size of a toaster, green, had tubes, and the 23 channel dial. I think the wattage rule came in the 70's with the addition of 40 channels.
I remember my uncle had a pretty nice CB setup with some kind of Tube amp It had an American Eagle logo on it this was before the expansion and I guess then like you said the big amps were made illegal.
Ever since CB was created from the 11 meter amateur band in 1958, it has always been restricted to 4 watts maximum output. There has never been a legal radio made for the CB band that had an output of more than 4 watts output. If you saw a stock radio with more than that, the output was probably being measured with one of those “Dozy” metersI saw it with my own eyes in the 70's and it was old then.

I seem to remember the FCC also forbade the manufacture of 23 channel radios when they came out with 40 channels. They said they would not be certified, I think.
