CB Radio shops

I’ve always like Ray. He is honest and straightforward, not trying to sell you stuff you don’t need. Before Mailbox died in Tillatoba I had him fix a few small things. Smokin Joe’s tune hears well and talks clear, no complaints.

My friend who does my stuff for free just picked up an oscilloscope. I might buy him a spectrum analyzer if I find a decent deal.

 

I have heard some bad reviews about Q5. I went there once to look around. Not real big, the guy seemed a little pissy. Not much selection of radios, or other items. Konnection electronics is larger, has better selection of radios (new/used) antenna selection. Your work is performed than, not having to leave radio for days as i have heard about Q5

 

I used to have one shop do all my radio repair here on the south side of Chicago in monee IL I 57 exit #335 at the Petro Sean & Dan ran REAL WORLD ELECTRONICS for years but have gone out of business in my 25 years of driving they were the only ones I ever trusted with my radios and equipment . I've since found out that RICK who runs the cb shop in Gary,in I 80/94 EXIT 6 BURR ST next to the T/A comes from the same mold as the beformentioned DAN & SEAN all were trained by the same teacher from what I've heard I'm a local driver so have no reports on any poor shops

 

What make truck are you in I'm getting ready to use same antenna on a 2007 KW DAYCAB in the past I used to run a ground wire from the Kw mirror mount to a metal spot on the firewall SWRS always stayed at or under 1.5 across the board two radios I switch between are the Galaxy 99 and connex 3300hp I use no amps because of company truck I've heard wire should be 8-10 gauge but I'm trying to get more advice or suggestions GOOD LUCK

 

I run a 05 Pete 365 model triaxle i don't have any see problems with my truck with just the antenna mounted strait to the mirror bracket no ground strap my swr's are at like a 1.3-1.4 on 1-40 so I don't have any issues with that but my truck has the old west coast style mirrors not these new junk plastic mirrors

 

Is he at the TA truckstop overclocked Electronics I’ve checked his reviews must be a new owner as previous reviews back 5 years ago where not good
