Hello, Twist

Dave was referring to 'S' units at the other end
of the circuit. One 'S' unit is *supposidly* equal
to 6 dB. 6 dB is an increase in power of four

times.

(You know that, I know that,)

Jim has yet to answer, but here you are answering for him, Davie. What
confidence you display. Again, for the record, Jim, are you in agreement
that a "peak and tune" will increase S units on a 4 watt stock radio?

most knowledgable people know that,

Agreed, as you are the ONLY one arguing that you can change the net
increase on a stck 4 watt radio in regards to S units. That alone should
tell you what you lack and need to know, but your comprehension skills
have been
abused.

and I suspect Twisty knows that as well. He

just likes to argue for the sake of arguing.

I exchanged ideas on this subject and in this thread with sideband and
now Jim, and as usual, you are alone in your claims. *Only* you are
referring to your exchanges as arguing, no one else. Get over yourself
and educate yourself on how to conduct proper communication and public
debate without allowing your temper to exhibit control. In other words,
stop taking everyhting so personal. It's not my fault your ego makes you
feel this way when you attempt to debate issues, but I don't mind being
your sounding board for blame.

It's true that most CB "S" meters are far from

linear, and consistent. On the lower part of the
scale, 1 "S" unit might be only 2 or 3 db. At the
upper end, 1 "S" unit might be closer to 10db.

But the theory is sound.

"Sandbagger"

And has nothing to do with your ignorant and wrong claim that a peak and
tune increases the S units on a 4 watt stock radio.
