    SADLY :biggrin_25513:

    I ordered a roll of LMR-400 coax and was told it would be shipped in 72 hours .... 3 weeks ago ... Then the 4 stacked KU4AB squailos was shipped 2 weeks ago ANOTHER lie ..... And my TS-2000 on 2 meters REQUIRES a 24db gain preamp but to hear Kenwood THERE IS NO KNOW PROBLEM WITH THE TS-2000 ON 2METERS .....

    Now if this is how dealers treat the buyer it's not hard to understand why
    this country is in so much trouble :biggrin_25510:

    I'm not going to bash Al, but just post my experience with radio's tuned by him that have come across my bench. Out of 15 radio's only 1 did anything close to the claimed output on the the Bird 43 and 43P. And all of them showed large amounts of wattage off frequency on the scope. They do however sound decent in the audio department, but for someone who takes CB radio seriously the other issues are much more important.

    That is just my experience with his work, I'm sure there are radio's that came out of his shop that work great and live up to his claims I just have not encountered one yet, take that for what you will.

    Just got my stuff today and I have to say you would be dame fool not to buy from Sparkys.Not to mention the 3 free things he sent with the thing I order or the upgraded antennas SWR meter and resv Diodes he installed that where 10 dollars more the the receive amp I order.I will defiantly be doing more e biss with Sparky.I even got an extra repair book with the other 3 I ordered.:yes2557: By the way it only took 3 days to get hear in Nebraska.
