    Most "techs" have the mentality that if you want to talk further, you need a bigger radio or a bigger box to compensate for their lack of knowledge or skill.
    Very relevant indeed.

    A prime example is Smiley in Corning California that needs a 32 transistor amplifier to talk 18 miles from his pickup truck.

    The distance was about 5 miles. There were obstructions around, especially at receiving station. Wish I had another Wilson 1000--my next purchase. I could've knocked a little bit more distance with this test, but for the sake of the recording, it would've been hard to understand.

    They're good am radios. Ssb leaves a lil to be desired on the 949 59 79..they're drifters.
    I think people just get confused. They want a "loud galaxy", buy a 3 digit, and have someone set it up with echo, extra channels and power cranked, when they could've bought a 2 digit for the same, or maybe even less money, and all that stuff is there. I dont believe either is better, ya just have to know what ya want, and what your lookin at.
