A freindly debate to peak or not to peak

A friend and I have been debating the need to peak a raidio with an amplifier behind it I say it's a wast of money my friend says do it for better swing or modulation well I'm no expert by any means I do know the basics like swr so on I would like to hear what my fellow cbers have to say on the subject

 

So for instance my set up is a galaxy 959 with a palamar 300 as it sets it gets out well great for skip what improvements would be gained and what kind of tune up would be optimal it is a bare bones out of the box raidio with a echo power mic antennas are a duel 4 foot fiberglass models um can't remember the brand they have the copper wire in the center not wraped around the outside

 

Thanx I'll look into a good tec if I'm able to find one

 

Ok im in the belief that radios are bult with certain components for a reason I'm not a fan of removing components for Shure I mean you have an engine in your car you start yanking stuff out of it it's going to effect the engine negatively as an analogy now I've heard other cb teckies talk about alighning not sure what that entails me not having enuf knowledge on radios but would like to have a great sounding raidio not over driven bleeding over every electronic device around but would like my raidio to be skip friendly and ear friendly at the same time without compromising the components of both raidio and linear

 

It's not about being a mud duck it's About a good sounding raidio without butchering perfectly good system it's about sounding good without bleeding 5 up 5 down it's about having fun maybe learning something more about radios other than just talking back and forth it's about DOING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME
