When I was a kid, my older cousin gave me some of his old walkie talkies. The ones that used a CB channel. I was fascinated by all the stuff inside, and all the adjustable cans that had a screw driver slot in them, obviously they were made for a screwdriver. So one day I decided to find out what they do. While talking to myself, I would make an adjustment and key and talk, adjust key and talk. I came to the conclusion that those adjustments did absolutely nothing. Then I got my sister to talk on the other one, I could not hear her, and she could not hear me! OH NO! How to adjust it back? I could not figure it out. So the next solution was to connect the antennas with a long piece of wire. With my sister in the next room, it kind of worked. For a few minuets. And then that was the end of that. So I learned early on what not to do............
