What ever any of the critical things people say you cant take away my glowing testimonials nor the fact that I am a growng radio mod shop.
This only goes to prove that your customers know as much about radios as you do.
Also loosecannon I never read any of your posts on the net. I have gotten most of the mods I do from just looking around not from any one person and never from one of your posts that I recall.
I believe loosecannon in his earlier posts on this thread over you - any time.
Thank you for the muting issue mod works very nice and I am using it on all my 148`s I build now. And once again I tell people all the time that email me to check cb tricks and they say no thats ok I want YOU to do the work No b.s man.
Sure. They think they have a tech. They just don't know. I wouldn't have you change the oil in my car...
As far as the 1674 to 2999 mods I like how the receiver sounds and works after doing it and so do my customers. They state all the time that the radio is so quiet when idle and when some one talks it blows them out of the vehicle, what is wrong with that? I make damn sure the sensetivity is where it needs to be while maintainimg all the gain it should have.People all the time say I can hear things I never heard before or my neighbor cant hear who I hear, not my words their words.
Static is a normal occurring phenomena that is a normal consequence of a receiver circuit. Ham rigs have it that cost thousands compared to a couple hundred dollar CB radio. Get over your self. You haven't proved ANYTHING except that you please your customers and charge them - and they just lap it up.
Sounds like "Jim Jones CB Radio"; and I don't drink Kool-Aid . . .
Also my variable power mods work 100% like they should lowering the deadkey while maintaining full pep output with less parts and component changes. I dont volt radios nor do I do the npc mod. I think it is bs. I have heard a radio or 2 with it and I think it sounds bad. Just like the top gun mos they make radios sound horrible. And you can absolutly still check the swr by turning up the vp to 5 watts. That is where I set the internal vr to when I use the swr cal control for the vp. Look at my videos it clearly demos how it works. As far as the rf gain goes the blanket statement that was made as to the rf gain If I can do it I allways put the rf gain back in the radio with a dual control mic gain rf gain control and if I cant the gain is set to max or i ask the customer if they want the vp on the squelch control. I know what I am doing I can assure everyone of that and my testimonials on my website prove that fact. Once again study my videos and you will see what I mean. 99% of the mods on the net are garbage and I have tried alot of them beleive you me. My vp mods are less complicated than all the bs vp mods out there and Just because I dont do what everyone else does means nothing. I am innovate with my radio`s and I am all ways striving for perfection. And eventually I will use a scope to do the pll alignments when I am good and ready to do so. You can most definatly peak and entire radio by ear. You can see the peaks on a meter and you can hear it in the receiver If you know what to look for and listen for. I practiced from the time I was around 6 yrs old to 15 yrs old on old tvs and stereos in my dads tv repair shop shop and on am fm radio`s and I am confident that the radios are within specs when I am done. As a matter of fact a few people that I have done radios for have taken the radios to techs with the scopes and the spectrum analyzers and they reported back to me that they were right on the money. A guy I sold an ar 3300 to built collins receivers for 20 yrs and he check out the radio on all his equiptment and he said and I quote It was dead on all aspects of the alingment were within specs Anyone that would like to see the email I got from him let me know by email me and I will show you the email no problem, And robb while you have your oppinion thats fine everyone has one lol, You may not be able to do what I do and thats fine. I am one of the good guys that is un hacking the f`ed up truck stop radio`s all the time, once again look at my video`s and you can see what I am stating is true 100%! trying to turn around and educate my customers of the bull crap that fills the net in the cb world. I am very confident in my abilities and I am only getting better after doing over 500 radios now.
Wow - 500 radios. Just imagine how much more you will learn by the time that you get to 1,000 radios . . .
Still refusing to use a scope and other necessary equipment on your customers radios - eh?
AND you still tune them ALL by ear . . .
OK
We have given you a carrot several times along with several sticks on this forum in the hopes that you may see the facts. You insist upon your own way - which is patently wrong. I think your customers that can reason well will see by now in that you aren't doing real alignments. You have just said as much out of your own mouth - once again.
Just because you have worked on some sound systems and stereos - does not a radio tech make.
I studied recording and live sound at a bonafide school; but that doesn't qualify me to be a radio tech either.
I have done receive alignments by ear. Only for the receive though. On my OWN radios - by the way - before I got the right equipment to do it correctly. I have a pretty decent ear when it comes to sound; having worked in a recording studio will do this after a while. Then I got a RF signal Generator (the PROPER piece of equipment to this the very job) and found that I was off by 1 to 3 S-units (as this will change as the freq/channel is changed) on the very same radio. So I hope you can see the difference now. That is too great a difference.
The rest of a radio's alignment points MUST be done with the right equipment. There are no human hearing equivocations for them.
The fact that you know NOTHING about the NPC mod is just the icing on the cake that clearly lets me and others (who DO know) that you know VERY LITTLE about what you are talking about and doing.
Read what some REAL techs say:

TO HIS CUSTOMERS:
Do what you want . . . Just be aware that he isn't doing alignments by the book. . . The standards when doing work for the general public are higher . . .
To the WWRF Mods: Sorry if I expressed my opinion too strongly on this thread. And if you see fit to change any of it, I would appreciate that. What I have stated is based upon my honest opinions - based upon the facts that have been willingly presented by the person in question.
