    Because I happen to know the signal it produces is cleaner than any "export" radio with a factory alignment. If 4 watts isn't enough for someone, It's a good over the counter choice without having to resort to an export and a golden screwdriver "tune". Without referring someone to a specific technician it's a good over the counter choice.

    Not so sure a $1000 rig is a "good choice" when the other choice is 200-300 dollars

    Value is determined by performance/cost ratio. Cost is only half the equation.

    Wallet is irrelevant. Value is measured by performance to cost ratio regardless of your wallet. Stock Cobra 29 or 148 is best value for someone with limited funds.

    At the end of the day, no matter how much money you put into it or who works on it, it is just a cb.

    It still hasn't been replicated.

    Has it been repeated?

    I did 9500 miles on one half watt not once but five different times. My qth to Sydney.

    Did 600 miles on a lightbulb.
