so here is a tale,, a tale of a watt meter,, a local cb peak and tuner did a boys radio and the boy so proud of the outstanding wattage it was putting out on the tuners meter,,, took it home and put it on his base setup and boom was disappointed that it wasnt doing what it was at shop,, called the tuner up bitched about it and the tuner said bring in your meter and let tuner check it,,, so he took meter in and the tuner looked it over opened it up and turned a few things and tested it then sent boy home with it,, sad to say the boy was even happier now the radio was putting out even more wattage with the "repaired" meter,,,, and then there was the shop that talked a boy into a monkey made style antenna for way big money when the fellow wanted a 102 inch whip,,, but oh the shop told him it was the same length as a 102 inch just coiled up,,,,so much smoke and mirrors and the amount of snake oil would drown us all,,,,,,,
