You must be a blast at parties!
I am the 1st GUY EVER to poke a little fun at someone.
Have a great evening!
Well, I find it funny because I did the exact same thing and worse I'm sure. It's not so much laughing "at him" but laughing at myself looking back at the things I did.... which actually got me to where I am now.....still making mistakes and screwing things up, just on a much larger scale

I am debating if this video is meant to be entertaining, like the old video that Sparky did to poke fun of people doing online videos. The video when he set the radio on fire and tuned a dial and adjusted the height of the flame. And let's not forget the WV Redneck Radio videos. I am sure everyone on this forum blew out his share of protection diodes and its we all have felt stupid. Its important just to have fun and learn not to do it again after the third time.
In the description of the video it said he sent it to friends for help on his install.
I'm sure we have all done dumb things with this hobby. I have had at least two radio I had to have the protection diodes replaced.
I am surprised I haven't fried an amp or two by crossing up the input output connections.

I know I have. Mostly before YouTube existed so they weren't recorded for everyone else to see how big a dumbass I actually am.
The guy will learn. He'll make better videos. He may be cited as a "knowledgeable" source at some point. He may end up here one day reading this thread and laughing at his own ignorance then heading off to another thread to explain in great detail how to fix a radio after it's been struck by lightning, set on fire, and then fed through a metal shredder.

Reminds me of the Maxon cb that I had installed in the glove box of my '76 Ford Granada. Right next to the Alpine tape deck. In the glove box because I wanted it to appear stock. I had a stupid mag mount that was supposed to look like a cell phone antenna. It was junk and I didn't know about swr. It had a range of less than 100 feet and then it quit transmitting all together. This was in the early 90's and had no internet to help. I have come a long way, mostly with the help of this forum. Thanks to all!
This one is pretty informative for those new to CB.
