HE said .........As for swing kits (also called mod or modulation kits), in general they should be avoided. They are generally intended to give your radio a low output when just keying your mic, and a much higher output when speaking. While this looks great on most power meters, careful scrutiny of the signal from an audio and form a technical point of view will show that the signal becomes distorted when you try to go past a certain point.

I personally like them along with all the thousands of others on this planet that use them as well , but I certainly DO NOT live in a perfect cb world let alone the world for that matter. I've heard so many radios over the years with them or even clipped limiters that still sounded OK by my ear hole . As a matter of fact ,I would bet to say a well trained ear (if there is such a thing ?) couldn't even tell the differents if they heard one. Weather a radio has been done that way or not , if a guy doesnt' know how to turn things down , he or she is going to have a problem anyway I look at it. I personally don't know about the rest of you out there in Internet land ? But I don't talk to machines , I talk to people. I realize that you were just asking, wondering as you put it Chad , but you can still still just buy a radio and a good antenna set up and leave it alone as FCC would have it ,because either way, better or worse , it's still against the laws of the land to have them peaked and tweaked . Hell !! if folks left them alone in the first place , it might just be a fairer playing field for all.
