CB shops, I-10 HOU to NOLA

I used to get through San Antonio a lot, but rarely anymore. I'm in/through Pasadena fairly regularly, I'll have to check them out too, if I catch their location. I've got time, the 949 is sitting in a box at the house, so I'm not doing anything before I get home again, and even then I'll hook it up stock and see how it works first, before getting it opened up.

 

If I remember right, peak should be 4 times carrier to maintain proper modulation, so min of 16 for a 4 watt dead key. Do you know what they max out at stock, so I know what the high carrier limit could be realistically set at before sounding like garage or needing to swap parts? Or am I totally full of crap and remembering long forgotten lessons incorrectly?

 

Appreciate the info. Also glad I apparently remembered something correctly, years later.

 

It's my understanding the 949 and 959 are the same radio, aside from the frequency counter and the layout of the controls. I went for the 949 because I liked the way the controls are laid out better, and I already have a frequency counter I can plug in.
