DO NOT clip the limiter!
DO NOT buy a "mod kit"
DO NOT let anyone cut, chop, or add/remove ANY components from the radio.
(exception, channel expansion)
DO NOT use an amplifier. They are dirty and of low-quality.
DO NOT buy ANY radio, other than an FCC type-accepted CB.
(too much radio, and could end up spending more than you need)
DO NOT buy any "noise toys" (why")
There are more.. but too old to remember :headbang
the two bold are things TO DO ASAP when it comes to CB
