Which CB Shops are still accepting mail-in repairs?

the at6666 is not a a.m. monster .but it does very well if so called upon... its forte is ssb .. it has all the feature that enable it to play well with all types of accessories and a very wide frequency range.. I have a plethora of radios and $$$ for $$$ straight out of the box it has given me a excellent return on my in investment.. it is totally spot on ! ! considering its foot print it works perfectly in my 2017 pickup and I don't need to nurse the aging dinosaurs..good luck with your old radios home ...xxx
Mine is a monster on AM and SSB.
 
The Yaesu's especially older ones wouldn't be considered am monsters either. They don't even transmit am. They transmit a double side band signal on the am mode. I don't run a transceiver in the mobile. My only station is at the qth home base.
In all honesty the Stryker in the clip sounds nice but the at6666 sounds excellent.
The only thing that's difficult to discern is weather Scott who is on the at-6666 is the person making the clip. It actually sounds like Scott is actually coming over the same device as the stryker an not coming over a receiver. If it turns out that Scott is being recorded on a receiver that's at his qth just as the driver using the striker then I would have to guess that his voice is being recorded on the receiver and recording device making the clip..
It also doesn't sound like Scott and the gentleman on the striker are actually having a qso on SSB. Do you know if that's the case? If they are on SSB and are being recorded coming over a receiver at a different qth than the one Scott's on I'd have to say that the at6666 sounds better than my above description. They both sound like they're on am. And that's about the best compliment one could get in my opinion while operating on single sideband. If one could get their single sideband audio to sound just as good as it would as if you were on am that's big. The clip is a bit confusing. Do you know if it is Scott who is making the video, and sounds like he does because his voice (audio) is being recorded right in to his iPhone or video camera. If that's the case that it's difficult for me to tell how the at-6666 actually sounds because it's not coming through a receiver. I have not heard an at-6666 on the air. I haven't been on the air in a while, but I do know that at6666 transceivers are quite a few years old. I will be getting some air time in soon. Especially if we get some heavy snow here in NJ. I will keep my ears open for an at6666. I doubt I'd ever consider one myself. I just prefer base station radios as that's where they're being run. That's not the only reason. The real reason is I'm very happy with my Uniden Madison and the fet modification that LooseCannon did to one of my silver eagles. That mic on that transceiver always gets me unsolicited excellent SSB reports. I don't use it on am so I'm not really sure how it sounds there. I am curious and will definitely listen on air for one of those at6666's. 73's
I split the single Channel audio from the output of my external speaker into two channels connecting to a stereo Jack on the outside of my external speaker. My stereo recorder plugs directly into my external speaker and record my audio through the radios TalkBack. incoming signal levels are adjusted via volume control on radio, talk back level adjusted via the NOG menu. I got it down to a science.
My AT-6666 sounds identical to this drivers 955.
Drivers name is Mark W. by the way.

I'm sure it is, how about some recommendations beyond "your dude"? haha
Yes, you are being challenged to provide some laboratory results to back your claims, but you haven't.. (it's not my claim to meet, the burden of proof lies on your/his end)

Perhaps I shall follow your footsteps, and order a custom tune or work from several shops (or just "your dude"), ultimately to claim they cannot compare to the work "my dude" performs.
If you were just a normal customer you wouldn't face criticism from me, but you aren't..
Simply put, you are a crazed fanboy blinded by the light of your "master".
Rabbi.. :confused: ..like, the teacher.... :LOL::cry:

The thumbnail in your last post is fitting; yes, you are.. but no you haven't.. (it's not my claim or challenge to meet, it is for "your dude" to meet, since the burden of proof lies on your/his end.)

The burden of proof lies on other technicians to prove their worth.
Otherwise they won't see a penny of mine. All they need to do is show me how their work sounds at close range. I don't see them jumping at the opportunity to get my business or endorsement.:whistle::whistle::whistle::whistle:
I can make several recoomendations for repairs. Perhaps you can point me in the direction of someone confident in their tuning abilities and willing to show us the audio over the air at close range. I haven't been able to locate such folks though. There are lots of good repairmen out there for recapping old radios and basic alignments. Custom tunes are a highly specialized field. I haven't found many options for that sort of thing. The Mauldulator and Asymod are for techs that lack the skills to achieve the same results using the factory audio chip.

I don't see you bruh, it's all talk; you are an advertisement to me, I might as well debate an "A.I. Chat Bot"; shill!

That's it? And you paid how much for that "fine tune"?
Maybe you can get a refund.

Wait a minute...
Now I see some guys make claims but Sherman makes claims that are so outlandish that they are obvious BS yet others have to "prove their worth"?
Are you serious?

I certainly would not want your endorsement.
It's more of a liability. One google search of your name and we find someone that is depraved at best.

One of whom is not Sherman. He can't do repairs.
Several have come forward saying they did repairs for him.

"Tuning abilities"
Because turning a few controls in a radio is somehow become specialized?
I haven't been able to locate such folks though. There are lots of good repairmen out there for recapping old radios and basic alignments.
I somehow doubt that Sherman has the ability to do any real work.
The burden is on him to prove it.

More claims from a golden screwdriver with a fancy sales pitch.

So when are you putting up the next round of address and phone number updates for Sherman? He is about due to get a new burner phone and move his tents around in the desert.

I think compairing the Asymod (or mmm,.ect ect) to a peak and tune radios (limited) capabilities is kinda out their. The two rigs (at6666) on the clip sound excellent, but compaired side by side with a rig operating at 6khz wide with an eq in line imo wouldn't compair. The later would have to sound much better. The 6khz EQ/mixer rigs gonna have much more fidelity than peaking and tunning a rig that's components can only have so much done to it. Unless I'm missing something.

I have two radios, a Uniden 980 and a old Uniden Grant that I had Clays Cb shop set up for me. I can record myself from my pickup parked next to my semi truck no more then 10 feet away and the radios are crystal clear. Hell I can even throw on my little rm 203 and still get clean audio up close. So does that mean Clay is some kind of radio god? No, he is just a good tech using the right equipment. Fine Tune is not doing ANYTHING special. Other then being a salesman.
 
The one thing I want to know is why he is not banned.

So we have this thread.
Which shops are taking repairs?
He uses that to post an advertisement for Sherman where be links one of his videos trying to disgrace Mike's "tune" and I have never heard Mike say he has a "tune".

It's all shameless self promotion, bullying, harassment, and intimidation.
They can't leave the guy (Mike) alone. He cleans their clocks and they still insist on bludgeoning themselves against the brick wall.

"My Anytone DONE BY MARK SHERMAN!!! TAP TAP TAP PAY ATTENTION!" is better than a well designed and respected manufacturer that existed long before Sherman and his so-called "tune"

No proof of the claim.
No hard evidence. Just some unverified audio recordings that could have been made any number of ways.

Any opportunity to bring Sherman into a thread on this and other forums that I have visited. Does not matter. It can be an incidental mention of a subject of a tweak and BANG! we have Mark Sherman's shill on that person about how horrible it's going to sound.

Scot.. Rabbi... whatever you want to be called.
It sounds bad. Really it does. And I know you don't care.
It's what you want to sound like and that's okay.
Is it clear? Yeah. But it's actually unpleasant to listen to.
You sound like you are really sick with a cold or your nose is pinched.
There is (in order of worst ever to best)
You > Ben Stein > Roseanne Barr .... and so on.

The whole thing sounds like a sales pitch.
I would like to see the mods actually do something about it.
You cannot contribute to a discussion without berating someone over your "tune" or trying to get business for Sherman.

It's everywhere and it's old.
