    I get it, you wanted to talk on 11 meters with that 10 meter radio real bad. Otherwise it was a $375 paperweight in your possession. It was going to do 10-15 no matter what.

    So now we're going to have that conversation? About whether or not to use a 10 meter radio for a CB?

    Never mind. Have a great day.

    Lol! Paranoid much? Maybe if you read it again you'll get my point, because you didn't the first time.

    Keep in mind we are all at the mercy of these people that call themselves technicians that are supposed to know everything there is to know about their chosen occupation.

    I had heard good things about Custom CB, so when I bought a radio, I went there in my personal vehicle on my day off to have home set it up for me. When I got there, the lack of "real" test equipment persuaded me to just have him convert it. I knew that it was the removal of one diode, so how badly could he do that? If I could get to Mark S's place, I would be more than happy to have him go through it top to bottom, front to back.

    I don't, heck I've been taken. I was just saying he should have exercised some patience. He read I was wagging my finger about 10 meters, which was nothing close to what I was saying.

    If you buy 10 meters, without being able to, much less knowing how to use it, and it's not converted, the radio is basically useless to that user. So, you pay a hack to convert your rig so you can get out 10-15 miles with your custom Roger beeps. When you could have waited to have it done right and got it 20-30 miles.
