    Fabrice Polynice, Harold Sido and Veronise Sido, Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture

    Even "type accepted" equipment that is being used by unlicensed people, like an amateur radio in the hands of and being used by an unlicensed person at the time it was confiscated? Being "type accepted" it's a legitimate accepted by the FCC piece of equipment, would they destroy those also?

    Fabrice Polynice, Harold Sido and Veronise Sido, Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture

    What do the feds do with the confiscated equipment??? I called the FCC, government auctions and another agency within the justice department a couple of months ago. Strangely no one could tell me where the confiscated equipment goes and when I asked one representative in the FCC she didn't have...

    DON'T SOUND LIKE UNCLE DONALD

    He does show sinead tests and alignment procedures. Antennas being not the most perfect link in any transmission chain what he does show while using a dummy load is sufficient. Remember, Mike says that in his alignments he set the radios at the readings set for by the manufacturer as he will...

    DON'T SOUND LIKE UNCLE DONALD

    None at all..... Are you supposed to hit a 1x4 with a radio with that large a heatsink on it ??? Wouldn't a 2 > 4 watt deadkey radio be more appropriate?

    Sorry to see you closed your youtube channel. It woke some people up and exposed a "golden screwdriver" of the highest order. I hope you put it back up. You only exposed the truth about scammers.

    FINE TUNE CB SHOP FOR REAL?

    Looked at ten seconds of that video when I noticed the radio in that video isn't in operation. If it was especially on USB the meter section would show movement. Still unconvincing.

    FINE TUNE CB SHOP FOR REAL?

    What is Mark hiding? Why does he not show himself with an iron in hand making a repair or resolving a "golden screwdiver's" screw up? All he says is "pay attention" then pushes buttons on his scope or sinead but no actual work. How about you point us in the direction of him actually doing work...

    FINE TUNE CB SHOP FOR REAL?

    Hahaha, I'm not a rookie, you're not going to rook me. I haven't seen anything in any fine tune videos that shows him doing anything except pushing buttons. When we hear him speaking on his rig he's in the same room as the recording microphone so how do I know if the audio is coming from a radio...

    FINE TUNE CB SHOP FOR REAL?

    I watched a Fine Tune CB Shop video on a Radioactive modded (Mike) radio. He talked about how good the mod was then talked about some not so good things about the mod. When he opened the radio he never allowed the viewer to see inside it, just kept rambling about he wouldn't do this or that but...

    FINE TUNE CB SHOP FOR REAL?

    MikesRadioRepair videos and Mr. Carlsons Lab videos make a point of having the schematics with block diagrams to show the viewers they are using the procedures in the order suggested by the manufacturers. Those guys get praised from their viewers for the comprehensive and thorough videos. For...

    FINE TUNE CB SHOP FOR REAL?

    I like MikesRadioRepair and also Mr. Carlson's videos. You get an education and they not only accept and invite comments they seem to answer direct questions.

    FINE TUNE CB SHOP FOR REAL?

    I have a question about "fine tunes" honesty. I heard him say on his channel that the Anytone at6666 straight from China needs to be aligned and tuned because out the box they have problems. But on other videos it's said that the Anytone at6666 out the box is one of the best "new" radios being...

    Which CB Shops are still accepting mail-in repairs?

    I'm late to the party but I hope Bob's CB is still accepting some mail ins. I have an AR-3500 that needs some attention and he is the only person I'd consider to date due to his arrangement with Ranger/ClearChannel back in the day. I think I'll call him in the morning, I'd hate to not be able to...

    Signal Engineering White Lightning 4

    Lightnings 4 Hi Marconi and Al. It took awhile for me to be back to the forums. Took a nasty spill off a ladder and three discs in my lower spine are herniated now because of it. Spent one year bedridden. Still on pain meds and wife threatens to leave me if I even look at another ladder. Al if...

    Signal Engineering White Lightnings

    Hi guys, I have bought a used set of White Lightnings but the former owner doesn't have the instructions so I can put it back together correctly. Anyone have the manual with the instructions who will email or pm me with them it would be tremendously appreciated. 73's

    ASTROPLANE best vertical antenna ever?

    "Best" is such a subjective word. I can say that with my A/P 30' off my 36' high home I have made contacts on 10 & 11mtrs across the country with good audio & signal reports and lately been enjoying a good deal of dxing across the Atlantic to 387 and 347 in Manchester UK on the bowl. I also had...
