    I'm just saying I am impressed with the reflected power coming back, everything else being the same. The smokin joe is less reflect since its been aligned correctly, since harmonics aren't affecting the meter.

    So if I am keying 100 watts, 500 watts etc I've got half of one percent coming back.

    Mike doesn't now how to use that equipment, but I'm sure he learned a thing or two after experimenting on your radio.
    How was this measured?

    I'm not looking to debate anyone. My receive is better from base station to base station, everything else being the same.

    He will post a video of my radio tune in the next few weeks. I'm sending him some other radios to tune. I would have tried Fine Tune out, but a year is a long time to wait.

    I can think of 5 or 6 guys that could have given you better results in a timely manner.
    Q5 cb in Madison Wi
    DTB Radio in Carlisle pa
    Nomad Radio in Louisville KY
    8541 Electronics in Laurinburg, NC
    Key Cb Shop in Warren, Indiana
    I'm sure there are others.

    If I had customers backed up for a year I'd train another tech and clean up the backlog. Oh yeah and make more money. I guess some people are happy where they are though.

    I occasionally get thru Louisville.

    Am impressed by that man’s posts on another forum and recommendation of him by others knowledgeable.

    BUT, does anyone know if his location is such a big truck can get there?

    Sure, I can ask over there. But, since we’re on the subject . . .

    Not with a trailer attached. It's a small busy street. Kinda tight.
    What would prevent that person from opening up his own business or sharing any of the knowledge he gained with a third party who might possibly open up a competing business or spread that knowledge for free to other techs who would then benefit? He almost got Russell Clift AB7IF to come out and work with him, but Russell backed out at the last minute.

    Have employees sign a non-compete agreement and an intellectual property non-disclosure agreement. That's how real companies do it

    Having said that, it sounds like he's happy being a one-man operation and that's fine. I'm always happiest by myself on a job
