Here is what cut splatter boxes look like on the band and why I hate them.... Man, that one guy on channel 6 had audio harmonics several channels wide! Classic overmodulation and class "C" amplifiers.... And the worst part of it is that these guys actually think this sounds good........  |

Here is what cut splatter boxes look like on the band and why I hate them.... YouTube says the video is marked "private" when I try to view it. There is one guy on channel 6 located in California that I can hear all the way up to channel 13 no matter what radio I am running. I don't what his handle is, but he starts off every keydown by saying; "Ay ay ay ay..." -Night Ranger |

Today the status was changed to "private". Don't know why, don't know who the author was either........ |

Being an audiophile as well, I just can't get my head around the whole "distortion maximus" side of the CB radio hobby. I just shake my head when I hear those guys so distorted that you can't even understand what they're say'in. It's like when a "ghetto cruiser" rolls by with the bass so loud the trunk deck is vibrating and buzzing and they think that sounds great  I strive for a clean signal and with the help of a spectrum analyzer, I keep an eye on any spurs that develop if my class C stuff starts to go into saturation. Even so from the start, I noticed how wide banded some of the "export" radios are on transmit compared to some of the class D and ham rigs. That being said, most of us locals bleed a few channels since we're so close in proximity to each other no matter what we run. On the bright side, I have been hearing some really awesome HiFi sounding AM stations out there...

They don't care about signal QUALITY, they only want signal QUANTITY. Most of us on 13 run good quality signals that do not splatter. I can click the dial up and down a channel when the guys are talking and I don't hear any splash. Granted, no one is pushing my S-meter into the red zone (Except for maybe Train), but I've heard skip stations with S9 signals that I can hear up and down 5 channels. That's just BAD. |
