That's only a very small part of the basics, there is a lot more involved than a spectrum and scope display.
bored silly and rabbiporkchop Thank this. -
Unfortunately most drivers think that those two particular tools are unnecessary when making modifications to radio equipment
darthanubis and MACK E-6 Thank this. -
The picture on the right depicts the radio of one those idiots that you can hear on every channel....darthanubis, 25(2)+2 and rabbiporkchop Thank this. -
darthanubis Thanks this. -
Not too many actually modify a radio but rather hack them until they produce a false result.Ougigoug and rabbiporkchop Thank this. -
When I was in school for electronics we touched on radios for a while and tuning and troubleshooting with Oscopes, it's INSANE how much of a specialized profession RADIOS by themselves are! It's not for everyone.
handlebar, darthanubis and rabbiporkchop Thank this. -
I cant tell you how many radios I have corrected that were splattering on the spectrum. Some CB shops just don't get it !!! I've been repairing radios for over 25 years for Police & Fire departments and Hobbyist. Without the correct tools you can mess up the air waves... Thank you for displaying this. 73's

handlebar, darthanubis, 91B20H8 and 1 other person Thank this. -
This is more geared to the average driver with no knowledge of physics or electronics to dispel the popular misconception that it is possible to tune a rig with only a watt meter and a screwdriver.
slim6596 and darthanubis Thank this. -
Nobody needs an oscilloscope to tune a CB , EVER!!!!!!!!!!
get a peak and tune, some decent coax and an antanae.
THAT'S IT!!!!!!
My peaked and tuned Connex 3300hp with old coax and the Predater antanae on this Cascadia that I never bothered to check SWR's does great.
I had Bob's CB shop in PA set the swr on my last cascadia....
