Superstar SS-626 10 Meter Radio — Compact AM Chassis Built for the Cubby

The Superstar SS-626 is a compact 10 meter amateur mobile radio built for operators who need a full-power radio that actually fits in the space they have. Same clean AM signal and Superstar build quality as the larger models, in a chassis short enough to sit in the overhead cubby of a Kenworth, Freightliner, Peterbilt, or International cab — or tuck into a base station shelf where nothing else fits.

This is the direct replacement chassis for the discontinued Galaxy DX-66V2 / DX-66V3. If you were shopping the DX-66 line, the SS-626 is the current-production radio built on the same platform.

Why Operators Pick the SS-626

• 45 watts PEP AM output — real transmit power in a compact housing
• Compact truck-cubby chassis — designed to fit overhead cubbies in Kenworth, Freightliner, Peterbilt, and International cabs
• Built-in SWR meter with alert indicator — check your antenna without an external meter
• Adjustable echo and talkback — dial in your on-air sound the way you want it
• Frequency counter and illuminated faceplate for easy dial reads day or night
• 4-pin standard mic connector — works with the mic library you already own
• Noise blanker and automatic noise limiter for cleaner reception in a noisy cab

Frequently Asked Questions

What band does the SS-626 operate on?
The SS-626 is a 10 meter amateur band radio (28.000 – 29.700 MHz). A valid amateur radio license is required to legally transmit on the 10 meter band in the United States.

What is the RF output power?
The SS-626 delivers 45 watts PEP on AM.

Does the SS-626 have FM mode?
No — the SS-626 is AM only. If you want AM and FM in a compact 10 meter chassis, look at the President Bill II FM or George FCC.

What size is the chassis?
The SS-626 is a compact "cubby fit" chassis — Superstar's spec sheet describes it as designed to fit the overhead cubby storage in Kenworth, Freightliner, International, and Peterbilt trucks. It's the same compact form factor as the Galaxy DX-66V2 / DX-66V3.

What mic connector does the SS-626 use?
The SS-626 uses a 4-pin standard mic connector — the same pinout used by Cobra, Uniden, Ranger, and most Superstar radios. Any 4-pin standard mic (like the DRX-6560) plugs in directly with no wiring conversion.

Is the SS-626 the successor to the Galaxy DX-66V2 and DX-66V3?
Yes. The SS-626 is built on the same compact chassis platform as the discontinued Galaxy DX-66V2 / DX-66V3 and is the current-production radio buyers of the DX-66 line should reference.
