*Scope watts or nope watts, take your pick! Tired of BS yet?  If they can't show you "Like This", you've been misled! Learn to identify the "Golden Screwdrivers". Yes, there'll always be the disgruntled competitors and their sheeple but they're just doing their best. When you're "Ready", pm me on Facebook including  phone number. Contact information below but don't be in a hurry...

"Real World Performance", not Meterbaited". Get it "Fine Tuned" not peaked and ruined. Radios not only transform signals into waves, they transform waves into sound, Cleaner is Meaner!

Ringy tinny hacked up and over-modulated splatter box radios are normally called "competition or comp-tuned due to mods and misalignments performed by Golden Screwdriver magicians. Yes, magicians not technicians. This type of "Internet Truck Stop Tune Trick" is useless in the Real World. Not only will it bleed your wallet it'll bleed all over your neighbors too! 

****How to recognize****
They'll ask you to "look at the meter" or other salvation army test equipment stacked up the wall and claiming that a pure waveform or "Scope Tuned" on a NIST bench isn't necessary. 

"Poise" their meter at you making "strange vocal sounds" or whistling (sometimes a tone) into the mic trying to convince you of exaggerated numbers and calling it rms, average or bird watts. 

Most of these "techs" don't have a clue what each unit of measurement is, how to derive it or even have an accurate way of testing but they sure do put on a good show!

This might look impressive to some but in reality these tunes produce far less usable power. Sound familiar? It's OK, many have fallen for these "tricks" so don't feel bad.

***Achieving  Real World  Performance And The Bottom Line***
Do your due diligence! Demand the testing and tuning of your equipment on a minimum 100 MHz Analog Oscilloscope, Bird 4314c meter or equivalent and a 1 GHz spectrum analyzer / Service Monitor  with a NIST (https://www.nist.gov/) Traceable "Certification of Calibration. It's the only accurate way of measuring spurious emissions, harmonics and  power in watts @ the fundamental frequency replicating true "Real World Performance".  

All test equipment and gear under test including meter, scope, spectrum analyzer, sampler, radio and amp if applicable must be in plain sight at all times while gear is under test, fully modulated. Only showing jacked up meter watts with un-calibrated test equipment "one piece at a time" is a misrepresentation and an illusion playing on your ignorance while insulting your intelligence! 

If they cant display everything at the same time while under test, explain ac volts, pep, pk, cw, rms (Ohms Law), capacitance, inductance and the basic principles of a phase shift then how do you expect them to accurately test, tune and align your system or even think that they even did?  Ever wonder why they cant come up with anything original and attempt to replicate or imitate everything that I do but in a deceiving way?  Don't be a mud duck!

Fine Tune CB Shop adheres to NIST Traceable Calibrations and industry standards to maintain accuracy and consistency for providing "Real World Performance" with integrity.

Need more range, compliments, reliability and a quieter but more sensitive receiver?  Get it Fine Tuned .. Not Peaked And Ruined!

Don't let them play Three Card Monte with you because they will! Most importantly, find someone who's competent, not  a part of Facebook CB related "groups", has a Service Monitor with an NIST Certification of Calibration and not just a golden screwdriver magician with some test equipment stacked up on their wall trying to baffle you with  BS and you'll thank me later. Never settle for less because that's what you'll get, Houdini tricks, ghost watts and a noisy receiver.

Sorry, I'm not accepting walk-ins or International shipping at this time.
