I'm no expert I'm willing to learn but I've been burned a couple of times by walking in to CB shops. The shop in El Paso sold me a davemade with no pills. I had a guy leave my SWRs at 6.7 thank god I knew better. I had a SWP Gen Lee and I guess I was a lucky one because that radio lasted for years until I sold it had an Xforce box I ran with it and never had anything but awesome feedback with it. I've been talking on the radio over 20 years I enjoy it. I admit it wasn't until the internet that I started to really learn anything. My current system I'm sending to a forum member to get fixed up. My local CB shop didn't do a very good job. They refuse to do anything more than the most basic stuff. I'm not very confident in them either. Just because you walk in to a shop doesn't mean you're stupid. We all want the best when I was in high school I was part of a CB club called CB101 we were a bunch of kids we could barely afford gas to cruise so the local shop was where we went. Best tech that ever worked on one of my set ups was behind the truck stop in Tucson. I wish I knew what happened to him. Guys would start talking like they knew something and he'd just ignore them and make their radio perfect. I'm very trusting the member here is that kind of guy.

[QUOTE="Rescue, post: 610403, member: 51287"] I'm no expert I'm willing to learn but I've been burned a couple of times by walking in to CB shops. The shop in El Paso sold me a davemade with no pills. I had a guy leave my SWRs at 6.7 thank god I knew better. I had a SWP Gen Lee and I guess I was a lucky one because that radio lasted for years until I sold it had an Xforce box I ran with it and never had anything but awesome feedback with it. I've been talking on the radio over 20 years I enjoy it. I admit it wasn't until the internet that I started to really learn anything. My current system I'm sending to a forum member to get fixed up. My local CB shop didn't do a very good job. They refuse to do anything more than the most basic stuff. I'm not very confident in them either. Just because you walk in to a shop doesn't mean you're stupid. We all want the best when I was in high school I was part of a CB club called CB101 we were a bunch of kids we could barely afford gas to cruise so the local shop was where we went.
