Tony's radio pegs mine into the stratosphere when we run together so he puts out some good power, plus he runs a custom antenna.

I'd be curious to see how hard he pegs you when he's 20 miles down the road and how many dollars he had to spend to get to that point. That would be the best determination to figure out what his performance is.

About 'tuning' a CB?

Bad / damaged coax.
Crap antenna.
Improper electrical connections.
Horrible SWR (transmitting).GiantBeard Thanks this.
