That radio was flat out gnarly! Clippin', splatterin', overheatin' and bleatin' like a shorn-to-short sheep. And the audacity of charging for services not even rendered. Shame,Shame, Shame! The good work never stops, at Black Ops. Rock on Brother. Smilin', I'm off the key. Happy New Year!🥳 😑🦗
Wow, ...this video just saved me a great deal of aggravation I was considering ordering the exact same radio with the same upgrades Thank you for your honest review it was definitely helpful and I know it wasn't done out of spite just showing the truth. ...73s sir
It's about time someone comes out n shows the true hackery some of these so called wanna b ripoff techs do to people money!! Another I've been waiting for to b brought out to show the junk produced!! There's so many more I can't wait to see u end up with!! Another great job.. thank u personally ground control!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
In Australia in the 80s, when 27mhz AM/SSB was big there was a few backyard techs in the business of modifying CB radios. I remember as a kid having my Uniden AX144 tuned to have a bit of extra power and modulation turned up and extra channels. The modulation was big and loud (the rage back then). But the extra channels the clarifier didn't really work (buzzed at a certain position). I managed to tune the pots he put in internally to get it on frequency without the clarifier position causing a buzz on the extra channels. Yes, some of his jobs were ok, others a fail (cowboy techs).
Hey bud, so just saw your video on the Quad 6. I have that radio & is bone stock. Absolutely the PL259 connection is a pain in the ass! So nice to see you call these guys on their work. I was hoping you would’ve shown what you did to fix that. Just curious. Wondering if you upgraded those caps? Great video.
Another radio ready to say "clean audio is the only audio". Just another shop to add to the CB Radio Hall of Shame. It seems like the hits keep on coming.

I’m sure he is a nice guy, this video has nothing to do with his character. But I can’t recommend his work, especially when I had to correct a radio modded by him. Thanks for tuning in sir, I appreciate your comment and time. 73
@@GroundControl204 That is what I thought, viewing his videos. The power mod is well priced at $65.00 and shipping though. I just don't want to have to re mail it to another shop for proper alignment. Will you do the power mod for a comparable price, and how much is a proper alignment?
I unsubscribed to TCBS immediately following this video. I've come to one conclusion, if you walk into any CB shop and don't see an O'scope, a sig-gen and a dummy load..... WALK OUT!
Hi I have a ranger rci 2970n2 I bought from eBay it seems to work well but I would love for you to give it a check upake sure it's at its best it could be.how do I contact you??????
There was no mention of what you did to fix the horrible overdrive shown at the start of the video. Was it possibly just backing down mic gain? That was the first thing I would have tried.
OK. Just curious because your video and the one you linked to for the original modding done to the radio were lacking details about what was done or what the waveforms looked like on the other modder's bench. It left me guessing. Keep up the good work.@@GroundControl204
@@mark-qr6yv The linked video and that shop does not use an oscilloscope to tune the radio, improper tuning at its finest. You cannot do this work with just a watt meter, so I don’t what you mean about my work lacking, it’s actually the complete opposite and the job was done correctly‼️
This is my fear. I ordered a President Johnny III from Effingham Radio Repair CB Shop. I ordered it off there their eBay store and it was listed as pro tuned & aligned. I received the radio with no notes or anything on how it preformed. The power cord ends look to have never been hooked up to a power supply. I’ve not yet got to hook it up myself to try it out. But definitely worried I got screwed out of the extra money if it turns out to be a stock radio.
The power cord ends are just soldered, which us techs call “Tin the wire.” Usually that solder will stay clean for years even after use buddy. I have never heard of effingham CB shop so I have no clue what they can and can’t do. You can send it to me for diagnostics and to correct any possible flaws with the other shops work, if it turns out to be good work the diagnostics is free and you will only be charged for shipping back to you. It all starts with an email sir. 73 Groundcontrol204@icloud.com
