This is a rhetorical question you know...
Technician:
Someone whose occupation involves training in a specific technical process.
or defined as:
Someone known for high skill in some intellectual or artistic technique.
So, used in a loose manner it would entail someone trained in a process. However, as we know some are not trained in a specific process or going by a set of standards (such as IEEE).
If the term "tech" is applied to someone with high skill in intellectual or an artistic technique, then I would say these folks are few and far between.
I will say though, that firecommunications and DTB Radio have some impressive know-how skills.
BTW, I wasn't playing the forum troll here, but trying to define what standardization would qualify someone to be called a CB-Tech is all. I would'nt read too much into my posts on this topic. Under these terms, I would not consider myself a CB-Technician. (an RF or Electronics Technician perhaps)
This whackpack thing is concerning to me is all... I am not trying to connote that anyone here or the folks at RadioActive are not technicians or artists. I am just questioning whether this modification is worthwhile.
As I see by DTB's comments this modification may not be all its cracked up to be. I highly respect DTB and his work. Up till last week I have never heard of this thing called whackpack.
As you were gentlemen.
