    BBI amps, anyone heard of them?

    Pill factory

    I understand the above, but one of the hallmarks of the repair industry "at least where CB amps is concerned" I get as many as 150 amps a year to repair and turn away that many, and in my world the 2SC2879's the 2890's, the SD1446's the MRF455's, etc are KING!. We can discuss till the cows come...

    Oscilloscope ?

    Well if the counter is accurate Yes and if you are talking about the alignment of Offset osc. it should be pretty accurate. That being said I use a Rigol and I had to do some alignment mods myself to have it display accurate results. I use my Rigol a lot and don't have any real complaints.

    Unique CB needs repair, need help troubleshooting

    Well since these old radios used the same audio amp for modulation and for transmitting audio I would check to microphone first it may be a cord or connector or cable issue with the microphone. Full quitting you sound like a ham talking about FM coms.
