I am sorry if I was fighting this... I was just going by what I thought was good information on cbradiomag. I thought if a trusted guy like him had a whole article dedicated to it it was okay. When I had just started in CB radio I turned up my modulation pot just like the article said. I had great results. I used that radio for 4 years after that with no problems.
I don't see why there is a problem with tuning up the audio as long as you have a dynamke or a separate way of adjusting your audio on the fly. Unless you are a tech it is a general rule of thumb don't touch anything with wax on it!
Everything the tech guys are saying is right.
As far as Ranger goes...they have become increasingly difficult when I comes to warranty work. Sometimes they're backed up 6 weeks. At the same time I've had them suggest cutting down an 8 turn coil to 4 turns before. Guess what that looked like in a scope.
Increasing your modulation inside a bit isn't going to hurt anything. Its's not rocket science. Well...but it is physics. At any rate; do you like it turned up? Does it sound good? Great. While these guys are right on, sometimes ya just gotta say, "lighten' up Al".

im guessing that "cutting an 8 turn coil down to 4" comment was in regards to a dual final mod?
if so, the reason they tell you to do that is because in the single final radios like the galaxy 959, it uses a 7 turn coil.
if you look at the schematic for a 2517, which is the same, except it has dual finals, they use a 4 turn coil.
im not defending their position, just pointing out one possible reason for it.

No. It was actually on a single final Deer Hunter. No dual final mod. It was about 3 years ago and I heard somebody key up with it last week. Changed hands a few times locally. It still works at least.
