    The range is generally determined by who's listening.
    He refuses to work on stuff that looks like this. It's cheaper to buy new. I'm not quite sure what's the fascination with deliberately inducing carrier cut off, except it seems to impress people with low IQ's.

    It's always cheaper to buy a new radio than to fix the damage Done by Bells.
    I'm sure you'd agree after having to repair some of this nasty stuff. Notice the deliberate carrier cut off?

    Sometimes it does. If he decided to upgrade to something nicer he can always sell it later on down the road.

    That’s your best bang for your buck. Add a $29 astatic mike, and a $20 Francis antennae. Good right out of the box, always get fancy later, keep the cobra and Francis as a back up, you’ll probably need it and it will work. While the fancy radios in the shop.Lol

    Hey rabbi, just want to see if you can explain to everyone what exactly you are seeing in those images you posted.

    Since you seem to know more about RF engineering perhaps you could display your integrity and explain carrier cutoff to us and why it's a bad thing.

    Look rabbi, you posted them, they came from someone I question often here and other places, but when the question is asked about them no one seems to explain it other than it is a fact.

    So what do you think is going on?
     
    Intothesunset Thanks this.

    I have yet to see you question anything the guy did. It's directly from one of Bells "tune up reports"
    I'm surprised you didn't point out the obvious carrier cutoff. That's precisely what we're looking at.

    If you’ve ever driven a governed truck, you know what carrier cutoff means. (Whether it be Swift, JB, Werner, etc)
