- Your SWR May Not Be What You Think It Is .. Always Use An Ohm Meter For Bonding, Impedance Repeaters For Length And An Antenna Analyzer For Tuning. Avoid anything and everything that refers to the use of 3' increments! "Real World Radio" .. Those that know it can show it. Those that don't or do so in a misleading way are Insulting your intelligence and RIPPING YOU OFF!! Cleaner and meaner, not noise or toys. Subscribe, click notifications bell and Stay Tuned In. Read on ..
Scope watts or nope watts, take your pick. Tired of misleading BS yet? If they don't show you or do so in a deceiving way, you've been mislead. Learn to identify "Golden Screwdriver / Software Jockeys and Scammers". *Note: There'll always be drama regarding my disgruntled competitors and their "army of trolls", they're just doing their best. When "Ready", pm me on Facebook including phone number. Contact information below, don't be in a hurry!
"Radios not only transform signals into waves, they transform waves into sound"
Meter swinging over-modulated radios with a noisy receiver and miscalibrated S Meter have been "peaked & tuned", comp-tuned or so-called Hi-Fi mods performed and misaligned by a Golden Screwdriver magician. Yes, magician not technician.
Internet, Facebook, and truck stop competition tunes are useless in the Real World. Not only do they produce a noisy receiver, they'll bleed your wallet and all over neighbors too! Years ago, while still accepting walk-ins, this was about 90% of all radio related issues and complaints from customers nationwide .. Still Is!!
How to recognize
They'll ask you to "look at the meter" or other test equipment stacked up the wall claiming that a pure waveform on a "O"scope isn't necessary. Odds are it's because they cant! If they did, they'd expose themselves as a Hack. RUN!!!
They'll poise their meter farm at you while making strange vocal sounds, whistling or injecting some unknown tone into the mic socket while trying to convince you that distortion is considered rms, average or Bird watts and usable power. NOT! Get That Part? PAY ATTENTION!!
Most don't have a clue what each unit of measurement represents, how to derive it or have an accurate way of testing but they sure do put on a show! This might look impressive to some but in reality, these tunes produce "Far Less Usable Power". Sound familiar? Many have fallen for these "tricks" so don't feel bad.
"Software Jockeys" claiming to be an "Engineer" don't do or show you anything useful at all. They either copy and paste (Plagiarism) or talk a lot trying to baffle you with their "BS" while hiding behind a pseudonym (Extra channels, Channel King Boards, CB Kidd, Stinger Boards etc). This type has no integrity, practical or "Real World Experience" at all whatsoever! Ever hear them on the radio? Right!
Real World Performance
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 (www.nist.gov/) Traceable "Certification of Calibration". It's the only accurate way of measuring spurious emissions, harmonics and true power @ the fundamental frequency replicating "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. Inducing distortion though meter using un-calibrated test equipment is misrepresentation and an illusion playing on your ignorance while insulting your intelligence!
If they cant display everything all 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 or align your system? Ever wonder why they attempt to replicate or imitate everything I do and say but yet fail miserably in a deceiving way?
Fine Tune CB adheres to NIST and other standards to maintain accuracy and consistency for providing "Real World Performance" with integrity.
The Bench: HP8924c Service Monitor. A comprehensive list below in the comments section including dBm to watts and volts tables.
"More range and reliability with peace of mind, get 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 honest and competent, not part of Facebook CB related groups, a pseudonym on a forum, has a Service Monitor with a NIST Traceable Certification of Calibration and not just test equipment stacked up the wall trying to baffle you with BS. Never settle for less because that's what you'll get, Houdini tricks, ghost watts, "S9" out of calibration and a noisy receiver!
Sorry, not accepting walk-ins or shipping internationally.

Hello from Chicago! Just wanted to thank you for your outstanding and honest videos- there’s 5 of us who watch your videos daily out here and while we’re certainly not professionals like you, we have learned what we do know from your videos. It’s a favorite hobby of ours. 👍
Hi HD, your Dog looks great. Thanks for running him. BTW, when I ran a mobile, I loved my old Francis Wheeler Dealer. Sometime later I put it on a Starduster radial hub and ran it at 50' feet high...worked great.
I never tire seeing Mo run free.🙏
*A mismatch is a mismatch* .. Avoid cheap swr meters, jumpers in 3' increments and those whom endorse the act. Bite your tongue and follow directions .. Here's what it takes to cut through the noise, be loud and crystal clear with a better receiver too: A) Tuned Bench: ua-cam.com/video/lwcDfXOgAls/v-deo.html. True, it's more complicated and time consuming to accomplish these consistent and accurate results. Below is a partial procedure and list of calibrated equipment used to achieve this level of performance . Read on ..
Fine Tune CB Radio Shop strictly adheres to (www.nist.gov/) NIST Traceable Calibrations and other industry standards to maintain accuracy and consistency for providing Real World Performance Tuning of Citizens Band and 10 Meter export mobile radios with integrity.
"Basic Textbook AM/FM/SSB Transceiver Tune, Alignment and Calibration"
1) Pll adjustments
VCO & OSC, AM TX OSC, USB TX OSC, LSB TX OSC.
2) Transmitter alignment
DRIVER BIAS, FINAL BIAS, SSB (or gate voltages for mosfet versions) CARRIER BALANCE, HI-LO AM & SSB Power, RF METER, AMC, ALC and FM DEVIATION.
3) Receiver alignment
AM/FM RF & IF SENSITIVITY, FM DETECTOR/DEVIATION, SSB IF SENSITIVITY, SSB S-METER, AM/FM S-METER (100uV unmodulated -67dbm for “S-9” meter reading!), AM/FM SQUELCH RANGE, SSB SQUELCH RANGE, and NOISE BLANKER/AUTOMATIC NOISE LIMITER (Real World dBm to volts (uV) tables below).
That's just a typical run of the mill textbook tune up and alignment (if you're lucky). There's more to it than frequency alignment, modulation adjustment, meter calibration and a tune up report displaying exaggerated rms Bird peak watts!

Hard Drive 163 NM. 73's! Click click
I have been listening and watching you for at least the last 3 year's. I admire your work because your explanation's always jive with what you are doing. I even hear you a lot on the C.B. in Ohio where I live as well as Florida a lot when I visited recently. I honestly would love to have you work on my radio and would even buy 1 from you!
Thanks .. you comment is very much appropriated!
So would I.🇨🇦
I always use a calculation chart to find coax length but I always leave it a little long and use my MJF meter to find the sweet spot. Not sure if this method is precise but it sure is better then the 3 foot rule that’s is used in every truck stop across the world. Haha
It's just another day in paradise.
163 Hard Drive readin the mail. An antenna analyzer is priceless.Years ago I got an MFJ. Didn't really consider what X (reactance) meant. I thought I had a perfect SWR till one of the Hams at the club set me straight. I thought I was doing good with 1 end soldered and trimming to zero X on the meter...nope. Soldered the other end on and it made a difference. Resonance is a wonderful thing.
New to the 11 meter CB world, I don't understand much of the technical discussions or test equipment, but ya gotta start somewhere... I enjoy your channel regardless 👍🎙️
This is one of the most informative videos online.
Awesome video I'm still learning keep them coming hard drive
Off topic, do you know how long a to-56 lasts? Got one that’s 15ish yrs old and my sr-447hpc2 even with monitor volume turned down I hear feedback! Have Wilson chrome box external speaker wrapped in two microfiber towels just to have monitor volume turned up
Be careful. We don't want to educate the Romper Room trolls. Since they lack integrity they'll be studying this video and pretend like they knew this all along.
Yes for customer support only.....lol
GOOD VIDEO..THANKS FOR SHARING..BE SAFE AND STAY WELL EVERYONE..73 FROM DESPERADO 56 NORTH OF TAMPA FL.
There you go teaching me stuff again. Thankyou!!!!
Mofo is kicking ass. He's an awesome Dog and so is his daddy Harddrive 163 in lordsburg nm
Thanks 427 .. he is a good kid and I try to be a good dad.
I wish I could be there with some scooby snacks
Thanks Hardrive!
Very informative!
Wow what a real smart guy!
Love your pup. The video's ok to 😁
Me too!! .. Thanks.
I get what your saying. My buddy is always trying to broadband his antennas.
Fuck that, just use a diferent antenna. Keep you antenna resonant in the band
Do you guys have anything poisonous down there?
I see that paint brush lol. I keep one in my truck too. Gotta love that desert life!
How do I get you to fix my connex 4300-300?? Please help.
Send it to a reputable shop and get it repaired to bone stock. Then, contact Hardrive on Facebook and be patient.
The stars must be beautiful at night at there.
💡 ahhh ha moment
It's all about the resonance
Nikolai Tesla is my hero
Mofo is the goodest of boys lol...
Yes, he is and I love him more than the anything! Thanks.
