I love their calling out of "meterbaiters" while they drool over an s-meter "calibration" which is based on a subjective relative system. Sounds like "meterbaiting" to me. I want to see them show one of those s-meters read in a linear fashion from S1 thru S9. ZOMG! my S9 isn't calibrated...

If radios were combusting due to defective 13N10s or IRF520s and nothing was done about it there could be serious consequences. These transistors are used in legitimately imported radios and other electronics. Not to mention the reputational harm to the device manufacturers. They would step in...

I really don't know what is wrong with these two. Like, seriously, don't know what to say. I can stay in romper room. I am not being separated from my money.

Don't listen to people that post on forums or Facebook groups! To order, do it via my Facebook group. Really? Do as I say, not as I do.

I want some of that 1/1000th of a microvolt stuff.

This is indeed true. It may be simply because I don't need the work and I am in a position to say no. But I am not going to listen to someone yammer on about how they want me to do a job for them after I said no. You should not do that, and certainly not as a sole proprietor or consultant. You...

I don't know anyone that spends more time trying to get out of work than doing it. It's called saying no. I do it all the time. Every other consultant that I know also says no. You should never be a "yes man"

Personal or work related? Nothing radio related unless I go to a friends' house but he has been really sick lately so no radio fun. Work related... some rework on prototypes because the board house swapped a couple of reels and installed a cap where a resistor should have been and vice versa...

His appearance has nothing to do with his workmanship.

Joker Man is just scary. SCARY.

It keeps the rest of the forum clean, and someone will end up making yet another thread. Probably best the trash stays where it can be easily swept away rather than all over the place.

I am guilty of not watching the video, just reading the thread. When I watch these people I tend to lose brain cells.

I am sure BBI and others will cry about it. Remember Scorpion Repair Shop?

You have to be careful because the FCC has a way to get you. Technically you cannot even ship these amps. They put it in their letters: FCC as a rule doesn't care, but I can see the other amp assemblers turning him in to protect their turf.

I have heard him say thousands of Cobra 2000s. The oldest search results I can find for him around around 2010/2011 when he seemed to come into existence. Just some basic math... "thousands" of Cobra 2000s that he spends a day or more - as in 24+ hours of work, so each radio may be equivalent...

Which part made you do that? :P Now, my coffee is most decidedly still in my cup so I have that one on you :)

It's been mentioned in this video that he was on his live stream having a problem with a radio and watching Mikes Radio Repair to get the answer. I agree with you :) There are more hacky guys out there than Snake. Take a look at Joker Man. That's truly ignorance on fire running down the street.

This BBI makes some good points but a lot of it is drowned out by the stuff he has no clue about, or he is trying to use to take a jab at some other amp assembler. I'm sorry but NONE OF THEM assemble these things halfway decent. Parts float in the air supported by their leads. Capacitors are...
