Hi Tom,
Only fools would enjoy having CB'ers as customers. They are the
bottom of the foodchain, and that is a liability for the manufacturer.
Even the "most technically astute" on CB seem to be technically
unskilled. If they had any skill or motivation at all, they'd have an
amateur ticket. Now I suppose there are rare exceptions, but I've
yet to see one yet. However, I want to see one.
I'm disappointed the "CB experts" here on Amps avoid technical
contributions of any form, preferring instead to predict what is in the
minds of others rather than make any technical contributions.

The FCC is aware of shootouts, but they are most interested in
handling cases where many people are affected by the high power
operation. They get the most "bang for the buck" when they bust a
fellow screwing up TV's for several blocks night after night than a
weekend event in a Motel Six parking lot in Aberdeen Mississippi.
Freebanders and CB Kings, show us your skills! Prove you have an
IQ higher than the highest legal channel!
