Hey everyone,
I'm a pleb when it comes to CB's and their internal workings. But I'm not bad at soldering, and I'm competent at electrical components and working on and with them. So... Considering all the bad press on these radios blowing out their finals. Are there any mods that the more seasoned CB folks here could recommend I do? I know I read a TON on the MAX-MOD (and I think everyone here thinks that they're overpriced BUT efficient) so I went ahead and bought that. But should I change the thermal compound on the MOSFETs? Or any capacitors? Anything? Or should I just do the MAX-MOD (if even that) and call it a day?
My paranoia encouraged me to get a 3 year warranty on the radio so if it does pop I can always just get my money back, but I'd like that to NOT happen to begin with if I can prevent it at all...
