SuperStar SS-99VHP High Powered 10 Meter Radio
The SuperStar SS-99VHP is the modern successor to the discontinued Galaxy DX98VHP — built on the same proven DX98VHP platform, rated at approximately 200 watts PEP, with the same AM/USB/LSB/PA modes and 6-pin RCI power connector. If you're arriving from a DX98VHP search, this is the current-production replacement.
It's also the high-power flagship of the SuperStar 10-meter lineup. Where the slim SS-656 and SS-676 (both ~80 watts PEP) target compact-install operators, the SS-99VHP is built for operators who want maximum output, full SSB (USB/LSB) operation, and a broader feature set for skip conditions, contest-style calling, and home-shack use. The rugged black metal case and 6-pin RCI power connector are designed for the current draw a high-power radio pulls under load.

- Operators working skip, DX, or long-distance contacts when the band opens

Frequently asked questions
Is the SuperStar SS-99VHP a CB radio or a 10-meter radio?
The SS-99VHP is a 10-meter amateur mobile transceiver, not a CB radio. Operating on 10 meters requires at least a Technician-class FCC amateur radio license. It offers AM, USB, LSB, and PA modes with approximately 200 watts PEP output.
How does the SS-99VHP compare to the SS-656 and SS-676?
The SS-99VHP is the high-power flagship of the SuperStar 10-meter lineup. It is a full-size chassis rated at approximately 200 watts PEP with AM/USB/LSB/PA modes. The SS-656 and SS-676 are slim 1.9-inch chassis rated at roughly 80 watts PEP with AM/FM/PA modes. Choose the SS-99VHP if you want maximum output and single sideband; choose the slim models if you need a compact install and AM/FM operation.
What platform is the SS-99VHP built on?
The SS-99VHP is built on the proven Galaxy DX98VHP chassis. It carries the same high-power architecture and 6-pin RCI power connector as the DX98VHP platform.
Does the SS-99VHP need a peak-and-tune or bench alignment?
The SS-99VHP ships ready to operate, but we recommend adding our Pro Tune and Alignment service at checkout. A professional bench tune brings the radio into full compliance with the manufacturer's service manual specifications and ensures you're getting the performance the chassis is capable of.
What accessories should I add to the SS-99VHP?
The two most common upgrades are the Driver Extreme DRX-9010 external speaker and the DRX-6560 4-pin noise-cancelling dynamic microphone, both bundled with the radio in our SS-99VHP audio combo at 5% off the parts individually. For a complete mobile antenna system rated for high-power SSB, the SS-99VHP truck-install combo pairs the radio with the Stryker SR-A10 antenna, DRX-3402 heavy-duty mirror mount, and DRX-1518 18-foot premium M213 coax.
What is the warranty on the SuperStar SS-99VHP?
