CB Question

Adding more power isn't necessarily going to make you transmit further.

 

Part of your transmit problem is everyone else's receiver problem. If I was at the receiving end I could be twice as far as everyone else and I would be able to hear you just fine.

 

Snake Radio Customs tunes these all the time.

 

With Dubious results

 

Well, I didn't offer an opinion on the result because I haven't had him do any work for me and I don't get off on criticizing others without cause.

I don't think there's really that much that can be done to an SMT radio anyway.

Fortunately SMT scares most "golden screwdrivers" away.

No scope necessary to solder screws, upgrade mic and coax wires and make sure components are actually touching the heat sinks designed to keep them cool.
