I'll throw my 2 cents in here too. I got my "radio training" in a crash course in the Army as a RTO before being shipped to 'nam. Several years later I got into CB radios. I had extra channels added to my radio and became friends with the guy that did the mod. Since I had some radio knowledge, he let me help him. Couple of years later the landlord jacked up the rent and he moved his shop to his house. Then came a divorce. I bought him out and setup at my house. I never removed limiters, never ran modulation over 100%. Always checked the output on the scope for flat top. And would get max power, then back down at least 2 watts so as not to kill the radio. Also all mods and adjustment's were put on the inside of the radio for the next guy to know what I did. Never had a "tech" license. ust knew what I was doing with common sense

[QUOTE="hackindave_2001, post: 856013, member: 65877"] I'll throw my 2 cents in here too. I got my "radio training" in a crash course in the Army as a RTO before being shipped to 'nam. Several years later I got into CB radios. I had extra channels added to my radio and became friends with the guy that did the mod. Since I had some radio knowledge, he let me help him. Couple of years later the landlord jacked up the rent and he moved his shop to his house. Then came a divorce. I bought him out and setup at my house. I never removed limiters, never ran modulation over 100%. Always checked the output on the scope for flat top. And would get max power, then back down at least 2 watts so as not to kill the radio. Also all mods and adjustment's were put on the inside of the radio for the next guy to know what I did. Never had a "tech" license. ust knew what I was doing with common sense [/QUOTE]
