Where should I send a radio if I want to get it tuned for peak
performance?
Thanks


The manufacturer?

Seriously, WHY? You're only going to see 1-2dB gain maximum (more likely
1dB) from this rather dubious "peak and tweak".. Better feedline, or a
better antenna will get you that, plus it applies to any radio you use,
not just that one.

its a legitimate question though the good ant is always a plus. as with
ham rigs, places like a&e provide a service to keep the rigs on freq
etc. for cheaper pieces of equipment like cb's there are quite a few
posters here asking basically the same thing. tuning for peak
performance doesn't necessarily mean more watts.
