Hey Bob ? and your point is ? , many do cap/resistor mods , it don't matter weather the limiter is cut or not , does the same damn thing , I kind of like that cut the trace on the bottom of the board routine
Auh yes , I would call that making ones self feel better about it , or they were just in a hurry for the money or they just had a whole lot more to do ? the bottom line for many is this Bob , guys regularly ask or want the limiters cut ! they like the sound because that's what there hearing from so many others .....or , what about a radio dk'ing 2 and swinging 30 ? Same thing dude , it's not a perfect science , it just works. Would you send them and there money out of your shop if they asked you for it ?
I sure just read a whole lot of BS here , it's like cheerleading squads. Harp and spit and nothing but a bunch of bull shit. Oh sure , there's lots of techs that claim they don't do this and they don't do that , well , that's just more BS..........the other thing about limiters , depending on the radio , some may not even pass the 100% mark by far anyway , use your mic gain , doubt a trucker really gives a shit anyway to go along with his echo and his noise canceling mic.
You would think some of these tech's are God's , I got news for you's , there not ! and that even goes for the best of them "that "you" think are the best. You think you spend your hard earned (or whatever) money now , if you were truly going to the best , you would be paying a lot more.
For starters , and everybody should already know this by now , it's totally illegal to tune a cb radio or even attempt to modify a 10 meter radio , so I won't even bother to go into why a limiter shouldn't be clipped or can be clipped , it don't freaking matter anyway ! unless you know what your personally up against if you do so. (You got neighbors Bob ? )
Everybody seems to have fault in everybody else , looked in the mirror lately ? Tech's and shops have been bashing each other since the beginning of time ........it's good for business
and when it comes to cb radios and amplifiers , it's all the same , illegal. When you preform illegal activities , how truely honest or good is the human being in the first place ? Well , weather it be Sparky or Copper or the Hack Shack ........I'd guess one may do it better then the other , but there all the same in the end. Customer service and work done go together as far as IM concerned , I didn't say the customer is always right either. But I also believe it could help the customer to know what he wants in the first place , so if he don't want his limiters clipped ? maybe it might be a good idea to say so , if need be.
It's no damned wonder why Ham's tend to have the attitudes that they
possess towards cb'ers .......weather they were ones or not ,they should be blaming the tech's ......... Sparky is shady because he clipped a diode ? .........come on Bob , your not serious are you ?
