    I guess if you expect your radio to work at a 2-3 mile range and you get 4-5, then you would be happy with that.

    One of the guys on here got it pretty quickly after Bell hacked His Radio Up. Once he realized how bad it was I think it took him another two months to ship it out and get it done correctly before he got it back and finally got to use it

    Unfortunately screwdrivers theory is to have an average of 125 percent modulation. He is correct that the flat top causes distortion. but he forgets about the zero of the amplitude between the positive and negative Peaks of the sine wave, that’s called flatlining. The flatlining can cause distortion too, as fine-tunes video showed that. I wish screwdriver could see this video maybe he would understand it better.

    So Evvy Thomas was the actual forum member you were talking about and that is the actual radio you were talking about?

    Yes it's the same radio and same guy. Evvy Thomas AKA Captain Morgan. He's quite happy with how it turned out the second time around and he's on my Facebook page.
    It's just unfortunate he had to send it to two different shops..
    Hey Evvy


    Just for giggles, here's one of Bells Happy customers.
