    N2 is a good radio. They had a batch of them (mine included) that had the two voltage regulators on the amp board turned up way too high (7v) from the factory that was causing problems. Turn them down to 4v and do a good service manual alignment, no snip-n-clip supertune crap, and you will have a good 70w dead key radio.

    Not sure if he is the guy to buy from with plenty of bad reviews have you had any radios tuned by him or do you just buy and get the tune and conversion done else where .

    I always let them do the P&T and never once had a issue...Can't always go by what you read when it comes to CB Shop reviews because some people always want to plug the shop they use...There are some shops that are rip-off's, "Radio Active" comes to mind, but they have been gone now for several years...

    GI Joe's has a fast turn around time (as long as the item is in stock) which is one reason I like them...Bell's is also pretty fast about getting your order out, and does good work tuning, but his prices on some things is a little higher.

    Beem to this shop..It is a good size overall and the fellas seemed good to talk to..I got the feeling the day i was there that they were pumpin out radios as fast as the tech could set them up..I never had any work done there but stock seemed ok good to talk to....Dont remember what they had for test gear but i did have them test my 1st 955 and he clearly talked to their sister shop(or what ever it was)20 mi down the road im told..
