who works on your radio will have a big effect on its performance . i doubt any tech can turn a sows ear into a silk purse but a bad one can certanly turn a silk purse into a sows ear . i dont recall hearing anyone complaining about the cobra 200's they got from DTB . some Super techs are Wacked out and will Pack what ever crap they can to make it swing to impress the highly impresssionable . and then the Placebo effect takes over .


courtesy of wikipedia :

Placebo effect is the term applied by medical science to the therapeutical and healing effects of inert medicines and/or ritualistic or faith healing manipulations. When referring to medicines, placebo is a preparation which is pharmacologically inert but which may have a therapeutical effect based solely on the power of suggestion. It may be administered in any of the ways in which pharmaceutical products are administered.


some are more susceptible to the effect than others . it can also apply to many (but not all) comments on swing kits , 102-10k-1000/5000 antenna debates , class c amp brands and radios with the same circuit boards (not including + or - belles and whistles) . many folks will believe what they want to believe or think they are supposed to believe .
