I know a lot of people out there are quite happy to give Snake a lashing for his snake oil mods but some of these "flamethrower" mods are even worse BS than his are.
I didn't bother to read all of it but holy smokes now that I have.....

"Upgraded audio amp for 100% modulation with stock mic"
Seriously?

"Upgraded front end detector diodes with superior quality Schottky "hot -carrier" diodes increasing receiver sensitivity. ( Factory Installed )"

Now a "hot -carrier" [sic] diode sounds impressive, but that's just another name for .... a Schottky diode.
Are they "upgraded" or factory installed?

Snake radio never came up with this level of snake oil.
And neither did Fine Tune for that matter.

Wow.
