Anyone know about Radio Active Radios?

After reading about Radio Active on the webb for years, I've come to the conclusion some of these defenders of RA are employees of RA or Michael himself doing damage control.

 

TT: Congratulations! You're absolutely right, I'm a shill for RAR, yes indeed they pay me well. Their annual sales I can give you in units. They sell about 50 units a week plus all sorts of ancillary stuff. They are like DTB neither of them publish their street address...no reason just company policy. Mike told me this is his full time job. Now I must really be off, I have to answer several other comments on other CB boards.

TT, a bit of advice, you really must stop drinking that Koolaid, it really does you no good at all.

 

Dave, do you agree with the radioactives claim of the antenna shown here from the webb site? The part about it being horizontal rather then vertical. Here's a copy and past from there webb site. Want to run a antenna on the car/truck on the flat side?? That's right we can get the double coil 10K machined so you can not only use your antenna vertical, but then run it horizontal.

 

A good book on antenna theory would help a lot of truck drivers when it comes to there opinions on what is possible. When we go only on the advice of other truck drivers and radio shops, it is very easy to get conflicting views.

 

So the admittance comes out. BTW the only Kool aid I drink is Colorado Kool aid, in the gold cans, and that's only when they're out of Killians. But I do know a crappy sounding radio when I hear one. More often than not that same crap sounding radio tends to have an unbroken RAR label on it.

 

WOW! I thought most everyone was aware of this snake oil stuff. The Idea that you can center feed a rod with a vertical polarized element and come up with a horizontal polarized signal of any kind is priceless. But I'm not surprised. This reminds of the "Rod of God" antenna that supposedly was banned from keydown events because it was so powerful. I guess when you pay 600 bucks for a mobile antenna you can't come to terms with the fact you have been had bad check this out for a laugh.. http://www.worldwidedx.com/cb-antennas/32669-dave-made-rod-god-antenna-pics.html To suggest that this Rod of God was to be outlawed in the world of Keydown events I find priceless as well. It would also suggest that this antenna would have a substantial gain figure over that of a 5 element beam LOL!!!

 

They are just like 95% of the CB techs who deal mostly with truckers but rather than arguing about this, I have a suggestion. If you want to find an good shop and want to know for certain that they are honest about the mods they do and the power the radios make. Then take your own meter into the shop. Have them test the output on their meter and then yours. If they will not do this then walk out and find another shop!

 

That seems like a good idea for quantity and yet the quality is one to be determined by the receiver. In effective communication of all sorts the meaning of your communication is the outcome you get.

 

I bought a radio from him when i called mike acted like a super tech! I Sent him the money(not saying how much ) for the super wake pack general 40watt waited for ever to get the packedge yeah and a couple of tech adjusted my perators got 1.2 on the SWRS & 50 oms with a galaxey than hooked up my super whack pack wow could hear great went to key up smoke started rolling out the unit another $100 dollars and a few weeks later it gets back works just for gps hooked up a meter up the thing only putting out 125 watts the reviews on the general out of the box from anyone else does the same thing for about $300 less

Thanks for yor time whiplash cheyenne Wyo

 

You will get the radio tuned to maximum LEGAL output of rf power and modulation. If you pay them extra your just spending extra money for nothing, they will not tune it passed legal. That come out of the box that way from the factory.

As always with online its buyer beware. There are very few good techs wasting there time on cb tuning. Only one good tech in socl I know of. Jericho on 99 in Bakersfield He is a Johnson LMR commerical radio shop that also does CB radios. Hes not cheap, hes is however worth every dime he charges you.

Most radio guys you hear while drive were chrome polishers last week.
