After reading zman's post in this thread http://www.worldwidedx.com/showthread.php?t=139006 and posting one of my own experiences at a CB shop, I thought it might be fun to post some of the dumb things you have heard or seen at a CB shop.
I only have one shop I can get to on a regular basis. I actually found this site after searching the web for help with my 2510 that he had just messed up for me.
These are a few quotes of his.
"The AMC circuit is forced on manufactures by the FCC to keep your carrier under 4 watts"
"Galaxy radios don't modulate properly with a steel antenna, I won't warranty my work unless you run a Firestick"
"The Ranger 2950? Garbage. No resistors in that radio at all."
"I don't use an oscilloscope because all it will tell you is how your antenna is performing. I sell Firesticks. Perfect on the oscilloscope."
"If you have a problem with bleed over, you shouldn't own a CB. They all bleed over the ham bands."
Before I found this site and started educating myself I let him work on my radios. Now I only go there to buy small items I don't have with me on the road. And to mess with him. I challenge his "knowledge" and he always comes up with something to explain himself.
