Bells cb and why...

Is that the super penetrator 500? I think it’s the best cb vertical antenna ever made.

 

Ah, okay. I’ve never owned a Sirio antenna. Sounds like it’s doing a great job for you.

 

you should try it.

 

Sounds like a good recommendation to me. Thx

 

Are you putting words in my mouth? I never said he was incapable of basic repairs. There's plenty of decent repair guys scattered around the country and I'm sure he's probably one of them. Don't put words in my mouth. That hurts your credibility.

Which nonsense? I live in reality, not a fantasy world where opinions count as facts.

How did you measure the work without a bench or are you taking his word for it?
Compliments should be taken with a grain of salt, and pay attention to who is giving those compliments and what their motivation is. If a guy on an
Icom-7000 compliments you on being within 1/2 a hertz off frequency but the nicest audio he ever heard on SSB, you might be able to accept his compliment at face value. If the local Joe Schmo that just won a key down at Manchester compliments you on your loud audio chances are pretty good he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about and it's easy to discredit his opinion. Some opinions are worth more than others.

 

Any idiot can use this to troubleshoot or fix your internal speaker wire and troubleshoot meter lights including Bell. Double eye roll[


Lot of guys can use this and follow a service manual to get you roughly in the ballpark by twisting a couple screws.
(Hence the term "golden screwdriver")
Bell isn't one of them. He hasn't reached that status yet. If you knew how to read a scope like lots of people in this forum you would understand.
