    looking for a shop this weekend as I've got some time to kill and I just scored a backup Cobra 29 LTD Nightwatch Soundtracker from a guy in the truckstop for $40. left out of Wheeling, heading thru Effingham, and down 57 to a mine in the backwoods north of Paducah. just need a shop to bench test and tell me what's what. any suggestions? thanks

    Cb shop inside the Petro in Effingham IL, cant vouch for his expertise or quality of work but he should be able to at least do bench test and align radio to manufacture specs.

    He is now in the Peterbilt dealer. I was in there the other day, and I wasnt impressed. The only test equipment that I saw was an old beat up scope and a beat up multimeter. I can't vouch for his skills, but it looked like a dumpy hack n clip shop to me...

    If you want to see a real workbench, go to the Flying J in Whiteland In. He uses several good scopes, a big money commercial communications monitor and a spectrum analyzer.
