I also will add to this and say it doesn’t mean the radio hearing it actually heard all the way to NC or what the owner thought it heard.
My Seattle friend could claim to tune a receiver to hear better than anyone else and use that email recording to “backup” his claims. But of course it’d be totally bogus and BS, wouldn’t it?
My offer stands. I’ll buy either radio simply because I want to see it with my own eyes. I want to see the proof myself, I’m not easily brainwashed into believing someone or something. And if either radio lives up to the hype, I’ll openly shill for Sherman free of charge, I’ll even start a website and advertise for him for free.
I like it here and have no desire to leave but I’ll shill for him here harder than you do, so much I’ll get a perma-ban from it. What more do I need to offer?
yaay we will run you to replace trump in 2024
Totally not worth it.
This is what we have...
"S9" is nonsense because that's the only time these meters even read properly, and therefore are pointless. So you have a meter that is right only at one point in the scale but that's a "calibrated meter"... riiiiiiiight.
Ignore all the other points on the scale! I gots my S9!
The MOSFET "detonation" and impending death from radio fire is to me like screaming fire in a movie theater. It's hyperbole. So you get a little bit of magic smoke. Remember that CB radios don't have foldbacks like most real amateur gear so they are a lot easier to pop from a transient event. I think the President McKinley has a foldback? Might be the only one. IIRC it's part of it's assisted antenna tuning which is a really nice feature.
The "Max Mod" can be disproved with basic arithmetic. Need not even take it out of the package. In these TIP36 based radios it's at best a lateral move. It won't help nor hurt. It's just wasted money and a false sense of security.
The .001uV receiver "tune" to produce 10 or 12dB SINAD is a fallacy because .. well... jesus christ at the bandwidth of an HF receiver like these faux amateur radios would be a breakthrough. Like, EPIC. But let's not talk about where the thermal noise floor is at this frequency/bandwidth and it's not below .001uV.
And that's why none of this passes the smell test.
That probably sums it up.

Thumbs up x 2.
Ain’t no mosfets blowing up and we all know that, only happening if there’s user error. I didn’t mention the TIP36c thing or the Max Mod, that dead horse I thought I’d save for later.
I been looking at buying a 955, I just don’t really need it. Hard Drive couldn’t possibly screw it up any worse than some of the jockeys around here have ruined radios and I’ve fixed several. At least he has nice equipment compared to what some of the guys around here have. And that would consist on only a power supply and a Dosy meter - these are actually “radio” shops. Even if it’s old, outdated or whatever other argument, least he’s trying to look legit.
Time to back them claims up though. Won’t sell me a radio, do some wide angle camera work and up close too at the same time. Don’t know how, watch Louis Rossmann.
Thumbs up!!! I’ll make radio great again.
Failure to report dealings with a foreign govt. and illegal payments.
