I agree with what your saying here Doc. I've listen to and read the truth so many times around here from those that seem to know there crafts very well. I personally don't care what somebody else wants done to there equipment , and no matter what it is ? if the customer is happy , I suppose that would be all that mattered to me.
Nobody has to defend to me what's right or wrong , I've already been there and done that over the years to basically no avail but at the same time I surely got to learn something along the way. I wonder how many in the business would go against there own grains of knowledge for the mighty green backs ?
I surely could never hold it against them if they did for the simple fact they opened it in the first place (and it's what the customer wanted). But it also seems to me that maybe more so is done off the scales then on the scales concerning cb radios and amplifiers over the years. (IM sure a few other types of radios as well)
Figuratively speaking (on the scales so to speak) there is no such thing as anything over 100% modulation period. This much I do understand to the degree that it has been carved in my brain for life.
This reminds me of somebody I once worked for back in the early 90s , J&S CB's and Guns in San Gabriel , So.Cal , very good tech and amp man. Although I didn't have the understandings of today , he tuned radios according to scale (so to speak)
Well there was another tech across town that would really piss him off ! his radios were tuned and as loud as hell !! off the scale (so to speak) I honestly didn't understand why Joe was so pissed off at this guy ? This guy had a fairy good following of a customer base. Although IM sure ole Joe tried to explain it to me back then , but it more then likely didn't compute to me at the time.
I know now what he meant about clipped diodes and swing kits and what not. Weather they were clean or dirty , they still worked and he had a very happy customer base back then. (Joe has since retired and ole Amos the Indian has passed on) I conceder both of them friends of mine once upon a time ago.
I think about what some who know there crafts well have said over the years trying to explain why this works and that doesn't work and why. Although the mighty green backs may win through the Einstein theorys of what is right , I personally wouldn't hold it against them. This is why I've I've always cringed when it would come to blacklists made up by anybody, for the simple fact that what goes around will come around , especially if one is not true to there schools and beliefs.
I've said it many times over the years that it might be best for those to humble themselves rather then open a pit of shit only for them to later be swallowed by it. One used to say that your everyday CB'er doesn't want to handle the truth Doc (I was one of them and still go against the grain more so then not when it comes to a dollar)
How many of them really care to know the truth anyway ? I don't think it really matters much to them and it shouldn't have too.It just gives those that know the different's something to chew on and debate when ever they feel fit. So be it ! That might just mean another lesson learned to somebody that might care.
Radio operators that only operate and don't care to understand other then if they sound good and there amps are putting out and the needles are swinging, I think those are right where they should be. Happy with what they have not knowing the truth as it may be concerning them and there equipment. It's all good.
