We're Not Responsible! As a follow-up to a recent posting of mine on "CB Radio Resources on the 'Net", I have decided to put together a list of radio-related web sites that are currently flying the disclaimer flag of "irresponsibility"! The list will appear here shortly and will be continually updated! December 24, 1999........The list of sites sporting irresponsible modifications is so long that I have decided to narrow it down to this one statement........"While some circuit modifications involving frequency expansion and clarifier tracking are justified, A complete tune up or alignment for maximum performance should absolutely NOT include the removal of any parts from the radio nor should it include the addition of any parts to the radio"! "Anyone practicing this "chop shop modification" approach in their tune up procedure is robbing you of your hard earned money while simultaneously destroying the reliability and dependability that was engineered into your particuliar piece of equipment during the manufacturing process"! "The fact of the matter is, these modifications are unable to yield the slightest increase in performance when compared to the same radio that has been properly aligned by a competent technician". "If you bring your radio in to a shop for a complete tune up and the technician indicates to you that parts will be removed or added to accomplish this, YOU ARE IN THE WRONG SHOP"! If superior performance and long service life is what you are looking for in your communication equipment, drop me a line and include the make and model radio in question, I will email to you the post tune up specifications including: Transmitter power output Receiver front end sensitivity If you would like to see a list of popular radios including post tune- up transmitter power output levels, return to the web site and click on "Export Radio Specialists"! REMEMBER.........."No parts in, No parts out"! 292 RADIO SHOP/FIRE COMMUNICATIONS....................................
