And switch.
If you have never heard a radio that sounded so overmodulated that you could not understand anything they said then you must not stay on ch 19 to often!
After 20 years I've heard a lot of bad sounding radios out there , and no , I do not frequant 19 very often . I've heard a lot of bad sounding radios on all channels over the years (everywhere) , over modulated / dirty amplifiers galore , but I could understand most of them and what they were trying to say over modulated or not , that's there business and they seem to be having a lot of fun in what they or doing , weather or not I think they sound like $hit or not. I suppose you can say I really don't care about "them" or "Whomever" but I do care about myself and others whom care about the way they sound or would like to sound. IM also a fan of good echo boards , but not to the point I can't understand what a guy is trying to say , most folks like that I wouldn't waste my time upon them (it was bad enough to hear them in the first place). Weather or not a radio has been modded or not , most have mic gains on them and can be set to be heard fairly nicely and understandable to my ear , it just does not have to be perfect with me , it just needs to be good enough . I don't make a living at this and have to worry about somebody else chewing me out a new a$$hole for what's fun about "my" hobby ? . Nor do I want to chew somebody else out for the way they run there hobbies as well. As I said before , you bet'cha !! the machines say one thing and people say another , I understand the theroy and why , but in the end , I talk to people and not machines. Some guys run Ameratrons and some run X-force `or Dave made , don't make no differance to me but like everything else , one is cleaner in the eye's of the machines then are in the ears of the people. IM not condeming ither one , IM just trying to have a little fun. It's not about condeming another for what they do , even though i hear so much of it ,day in and day out around places like these. It has never ever felt right to me , because for many ,it's about having fun , not so much by the numbers and why . I don't give a ratts a$$ about Bobby Joe's Truck Stop CB Shop !! you might or somebody else in this business might , but I don't. Oh sure ,it might be nice to know if they were spitting in the radios and charging me or somebody else a arm and a leg for there services , at least that way I could pass it on to someone else "if" they were to ask me. I don't believe in blacklists or whitelists , they all break the law , just some do better jobs at it then others. It's not my job to criticize, if I can help somebody else out , one way or the other , that's all that matters to me because others have taken the time to help me ,and still do. Are we having fun yet
