Hello everyone. Thinking about getting a new CB radio. I have it narrowed down to 2. A) Uniden BC 980 and B) Galaxy DX-959. Anyone have any input on these radios? Thanks for your help.

I owned the same Galaxy and there is a lot u can do with it. If u are planning on just using it for local, way too much... If u are into the extra channels and are planning on using it to talk skip with a linear behind it... Worth the money, especially with the frequency Meter to dial in for clarity. I am currently using an older Cobra 29 classic with mods and reverb, it works very well locally. I have no knowledge of the Uniden. Hope this helps.

I plan on using it for local, but want to play with skip and getting long range.
With that being said, the Galaxy would be my choice.

Fwiw, the sunspot cycle is nearing the weak point and CB skip will be less common for the next few years. If long-range is what you're interested in... you might want to consider ham radio. Sadly, though... the radios are a lot more expensive.
