    I like my 10k switches on my radios. If i am running with one of my drivers, or another driver and want to B.S without all the radio rambo's, or ignorance on the radio. I can do so. Also when i get close to a truck stop on any given weekend, or so. I do not have to listen to the B.S

    It splits some. All but 5 channels are 10khz apart, so for the rest of the band, it just goes up a channel. So ch 18 with the switch on is really 19.

    Haha good luck. I’ve reached out several times over the last three years to no avail. I would’ve gladly bought a new radio or twice from him if he’d rather not work on my equipment. I gave up on him.

    Or he just doesn’t respond. I didn’t even have a chance to “get out of line.”

    Well ... one thing I learned a long time ago, no matter how good you think you are, if you can't be cordial and polite in answering questions, you don't know much.

    I had a "tech" who lived near me. He was such a prick because he "knew" more than anyone else. He would work on everyone's radios and act like he was god's gift to CB. When I started to repair his work, especially on upper crust radios (browning, CPI, Stoner to name a few he hacked), he got wind of it and started to trash me.

    The joke of it was I met him a while later and he had no clue who I was, but he learned a bunch of things on how to work on those types of radios. I introduced him to a few people who gave techs things like better front ends and other amazing things.

    This tech might be amazing, but in 2019, CB tech isn’t exactly in demand to most of the world. I trust he is great, so I would gladly pay him what he wants up front for work and/or a new radio set up by him. I understand messages get lost, but no response to a few over the course of 3+ years means he’s not interested. Maybe he’s not looking for new clients. I won’t be reaching out anymore.

    I remember back in the 70s, the Johnson 123A radios, you could slowly move the channel selector between certain channels, and you could talk on a different frequency. I am not sure what the frequencies were since I didn’t have a frequency counter at the time. I didn’t know anything about the 10 kHz switch.

    Also you better pay attention and do as he says. There was one video I saw along time ago where someone sent him a radio, and it had a small problem. He got very upset over it and put it back in the box, and said It can set on the shelf for a few months. Sounds like he will hold your radio hostage if you’re not careful. Definitely a strange way to run a business.
     
    Timin770 and BTShepp Thank this.
