163 and Motormouth Maul sound very similar on the air. I have a hard time telling them apart sometimes. In that recording he was walking all over Motormouth Maul. So this is just his bad ass fine tuned stock radio with no amplifier with fedlity up there with Motormouth Maul? Has anyone been in his shop and seen what he is talking on? He doesn't show his full setup in his videos from what I have been able to find.

FINE TUNE CB SHOP FOR REAL?

and this folks is as close as we are ever going to get to an admission that none of the things RPC posts mean jack crap in the real world.
Every single one of his posts telling all of us how Mark Sherman can get a radio to hear further than any other tech is grade A BS.
Here's the REAL TRUTH!!!
Mark Sherman is a person that knows about radios.
Mark Sherman knows full well that he is selling snake oil by misleading his customers as to how much the sensitivity level of a radio matters once an antenna is connected.
Mark Sherman tries to get business for himself by claiming that his shop is the only one that can produce a given level of sensitivity in a radio's receiver.
Mark Sherman may be a good tech, but he is also a dishonest one who uses the same old tactics that CB shops have been using for decades by using his customers' ignorance to line his pockets.
oh and RPC, that was a very weak troll attempt with the "unless all the connections are perfect" line.
Even you know that was a dumb thing to say.

Don't fool yourself, his radio is super-ultra clean but he had a little help making that contact..
Anyone that says otherwise is a liar, hundreds reach out to MMM when he is on the air, very few get a response. Trust me I've tried, it takes more than my Antron 99 and a clean radio to make that contact. Location, location, location is why he walked on MMM.
*flips mystery switch* HELLO MMM....... dang it that didn't work !
*okay* I'm gonna need to sell the farm, and buy a 4cw100000e. Then, one day I might make that contact.
Or maybe one day it will be just me and him on the same channel, no others talking, and a lot of conditions being met, then I could see a barefoot radio doing it. Not otherwise.

Remember that super sensitivity only works if you use a copper antenna. Aluminum antennas develop sapphire crystals that react and generate noise in your receiver. That's what RPC said way back.
There you go again misrepresenting the source of information.
that's a direct quote from AB7IF himself. It's not like I pulled those words out of my rectum.
I'll be the first one to cheerlead for someone else as soon as they can give me the type of work I want but no one has been able to.
He was talking on a customer's Stryker 955. That's all I know about that particular situation
Need to correct you here...The phrase is " A Jack of all trades but a Master of none ".
Sounds kind of funny the way you wrote it unless that was intentional.
Try Mikes radio repair . Watch his videos, No hocus pocus .
The proper term for that is called "Sibilance" . You should have learned that from Mark because he knows it all.
In the Pro audio world, it is regarded as a bad sound engineer who can't EQ or use other de-essing techniques properly.
In the radio world, that's the last thing I want to hear is any sibilance!

One of my neighbors has one of Mikes radios. I'm not impressed to say the least. Google "don't be a dave" or "the rise and fall of dave white in the world of sound" for a recorded sample.
