I apologize if I offended anyone on here, that was not my intention by any means. I'm just fed up with a couple of my locals (who are drunks) always trying to compare me to their old local tech (whom I got along with fine) who is passed away now. Their old tech (he wasn't really old in age, bout the same as I am, 58) was very good on amps (the best in the state) and he worked on radios. He and I got along great. He wanted me to come to work at his shop a few times but I chose to stay in my lane.
Well, although we got along fine, never said anything out of the way to each other, had respect for one another, it still upsets me when a couple of these clowns like to ruffle my feathers by trying to compare him to me. Every radio that comes on my desk, the owners always make a point to mention that snag was the last one in their radio (which I already know this cause that's where all these locals sent their stuff), which I notice every time I open the covers on them. He may have been about money, but I'm not. These cb'ers have been ripped off for far too long, not just by techs (as I see him now by the work in fixing of his) but also by makers of these papa mods, super mods, etc ..which are trash.
I couldn't have gotten to where I'm at now without the help of you guys/gals on this site, many of which ARE old timers and I acknowledge that fact. Therefore there was no intended hate and discontent directed towards ALL old techs.
I meant no disrespect to you guys/gals, I know my lane, lol.
