Thanks Bobcat for this info, looks very interesting and I'll spend some time at night checking this out more. All I want to do is the basic tweaking of output power, perk up the receive, and check the channel alignment and tweak the modulation. I was talking skip on my Uniden Washington 3 button base and a operator I talk to said nobody would want to answer me if I was off frequency. My local CB mod shop hasn't got back to me on checking the alignment and I wonder if it is over his head so he doesn't want to do it. Thanks again! Mike
