No way I could recieve a POS like this radio and let it leave the way it came in! Even Lester was having cringe moments working on this! I bet that person paid good money to some so called "CB Repair Technician".

If you need a good laugh or want to cringe on the edge of you chair this video will do it. This is why I am not a fan of 70% of people on CB. This is their idea of a great radio!

Gota love the second mosfet missing all the support components and running hot bus from power supply directly to the driver and final in an attempt to make up for the non-functioning second mosfet final they added that was not doing anything! LOL

driver is not "volted" only the final TP8 is not there on top side of board so his statement that both the driver and final are directly connected to the main dc feed is wrong and misleading to his listeners
why do people not like "volted" final/s?
(really that is a terrible cb term but had to say that so some understand what hes talking about ) ..

yaesu/kenwood/icom/tentec/cubic/and the list goes on all the way down the page of ham radio manufacturers that does it in their rf stages since oh i dont know the 1970's !
