Bells cb and why...

Rebbe, good intentions ain’t enough.

“Lengthy defense” means

Nothing.

It isn’t persuasive.

Sherman can’t run a business. Not one that deserves your extra efforts.

His tune IS NOT BETTER (understand?). His tune is terrible.


FWIW, I just got banned from a forum where I continually called stupid, STUPID. Thousands of total posts. Hundreds that repeated themselves. A lifetime of experience.

A set of questions about safety. More than a dozen years of saying, “hey, slow down, this has serious consequences”.

Simple to implement and test. Nothing that ANY truck driver worthy of the title can’t do.

These are high income types. (Where I started in life).

They said, “we don’t like the way you say this”. But made no changes. (I’m immortal you dirty truck driver).

Think I was popular?

Ha!

 

Since slow mover has never owned a receiver that performs like mine he would never have been able to witness the things that I've witnessed like listening to a stock Cobra 29 in a Volvo 670 with Factory antennas and Factory cable from 30 miles away across a dry desert. It's okay. Lots of people are missing all sorts of experiences in life and they formulate their judgments based upon missing experience. We can't have the same experiences in life shared equally among us. I will reiterate there are two types of tunes I can detect from great distances. There are very subtle differences between those Tunes and the average technician wouldn't be able to spot any major differences at all between the two. Coming in second place is a bone stock Cobra 29 which equates to maximum value for the least amount of dollars. That which comes in first place is going to cost you five times as much. I try to focus on maximum value for the least amount of money and if anybody has been inside your radio chances are pretty good I will hear a stock Cobra 29 long after you have disappeared out of my receiver. Keep in mind my receiver and your receiver are nothing alike.

 

What part of your receiver and my receiver are nothing alike don't you get?
It takes a strong signal just for you to be able to understand what someone is saying. I can listen to and understand people that produce a signal so weak it doesn't even register on my meter, and well below the noise in your receiver . Your receiver will never perform like mine they are nothing alike. It's no surprise you can't hear a 4 watt Cobra 29 from any major distance, in fact it's quite predictable if you understood how receivers work and how yours doesn't.
It's not very shocking that your friends need massive amounts of power just so you can understand them from 15 miles away.
It's also not very shocking the people with those stock Cobra 29 were unable to hear you on your hacked up radios. Perhaps if you had a transmitter with zero distortion they would be able to hear you from a greater distance. There's two sides to every story and two radios for every conversation and you really need to understand why things work the way they work and I don't think you have a clue. My ability to listen to you from a great distance is determined by the amount of distortion in your transmitter and by the sensitivity of my receiver. You don't have a clue what either one of those are in regards to your radio. If you're having a difficult time listening to a Cobra 29 from 15 miles away it sounds like you have a receiver problem and if that Cobra 29 is having a difficult time hearing you from 15 miles away it sounds like you have a transmitter problem. Either way the problem isn't with the FCC type accepted Cobra 29. The problem is with you.

 

You two are still having this "discussion"?

I admire your stamina.

As a disinterested third party, I can attest to the fact I never had a radio receive as well as one done by Sherman. If I was in a job where I talked all night on the radio, I might consider jumping through his hoops. Driving only during the day, bone stock is good enough for me (as long as I get my antenna system installed correctly). With my Galaxy 959 from Amazon, I can talk/hear around ten miles or so. Good enough for accident avoidance and speed trap alerts.

 

I thought it was over, and then the misinformation started flowing again.
Nothing wrong with a 959. Nice radio.

Back in the 70’s as a teenager, one night, I was bored and went outside to my car at about 10 PM. I heard a guy who lived in a town 25 miles north of me, his signal was very weak and didn’t move my meters needle. I gave him a call and he came back to me. I talked to him for 20 minutes or so. This was with my car engine shut off, so my 3 W radio was probably only putting 2 1/2 watts out, since it was only the battery supplying the power.
Now I have no proof of this, since we didn’t have YouTube videos back then. But I did this with a $90 REAL midland CB radio, not a $200 - $400 high powered non-CB radio like your export radio.

You also said, your abilities to listen great distances is because of the Sensitivity in your receiver. Could it also be the fact that you’re sitting still in your quiet personal vehicle while listening and talking to others, and therefore you don’t have the road and motor and wind noise to contend with? like the other drivers you’re talking to in their big trucks? Just sayin...

 

You really don’t know what experience with Radio I’ve had. I’ve had next to no reason to bring up aviation, marine or commercial two-way.

How long now have you been touting Shermie? Four years? Thousands of words? When was the first post?

1). What good does it do when he can’t run a legitimate business?

2). Why ANYONE would want to sign up with a criminal organization just to talk to a CB tech is past me. Why don’t you address that?

So it doesn’t matter about Shermie . Good= Bad. No difference.

And, what does he charge for a tuned 955? Will it outperform a YAESU FT891 now on sale at $640? Or do I have to spend more than that in order to get less?

You stretch your credibility stepping into this one. A turbocharged Pinto versus a Ferrari.

Plenty of online and storefront retailers to provide support & service for that Yaesu. Which can’t be said for Shermie.

Get it: the disadvantages outweigh what you claim are the advantages.

Accidents & mistakes happen. The Radio tech is either there to work with you or not. And preferably is favorably rated by dozens, hundreds, thousands of buyers.

Shermie has a reasonably-run business, all your words might have something to them. He doesn’t, yours don’t.

Not your fault. His

We all get it you are impressed.

I’m impressed that with a box stock mobile radio — coupled to DSP audio filtering & chasing noise down — I have to reduce RF Gain since there are TOO MANY competing conversations being received.

The magic isn’t the radio. It’s the whole system. Probably no end for room for improvement.

You want the award for “Best CB”? Okay, it’s yours.
