Walcott Radio peak and tune

Stay cat fat away from Walcott there a bunch of thugs who make you wait for refunds and cancel orders.Absolutely the worst place to order ANY equipment from they will recommend one radio then another then another and confuse you to buy one that doesn’t match your needs, then customer service won’t help after I paid $350 bucks for my rig instead they cancel my order and now I gotta wait a week for a refund l. I should’ve listen to bells cb these guys are horrible. Tom was supposed to help me anyway he could very disappointing… I was far warned by bells cb and two other companies to stay away from Walcott but I didn’t listen now I’m paying.. Tom was helpful and courteous but Blaine was a lying in trained, unprofessional customer service rep. Instead of helping me with me order he cancled it after waiting 4 days for this crap you all deserve a one star tbh, Tom got the one star..

 

Bump…

So after researching radios that’ll meet my criteria I went with Walcott. After the discounts I felt I received a fair deal. I opted for their “Peak Performance” option with my purchase.

Between purchase submitted and product received I did what I do….consulted Google/YouTube. Before hooking up my new purchase I phoned Walcott. Don’t remember who I talked to. He pulled my order. After hitting him with a couple questions regarding tunes, upgrades etc offered for my radio I was advised NOT to do anything more to my radio. OK, fine. So I hook up my new toy and ask for a radio check. Reports came back fine. Prior to hooking anything up I performed a rudimentary SWR check using the Astatic PDC1 meter. SWR’s are in the low 1’s on 1, 40 & 20. I suppose time will (or won’t) tell regarding my radio performance. What I have learned is there are endless “Peak & Tune” as well as performance mods available. How much $$$ one chooses to lay out is their business. My experience with Walcott CB so far has been positive.

Thanks for the story, but my Johnson 232a performs better than your peak and tune wallcott special.

 

My Realistic TRC 57 will as well, lol!
