Vinnie, don't use a tuner if you don't know WTF you're doing,



The guy want's the most bang for his buck, and he can do that with an
antenna tuner. It will probably cost him a whole $20 and it doesn't
take a college degree to operate -- jeez, it's only three knobs. And
even if you don't know what you are doing you can usually fiddle with
it long enough to tune in a good match to just about anything, even a
bed spring.


you'll be constantly throwing carriers yelling AAUDDIOO whistling
into the mike trying to get 1:1, a real pain in the ass
for anyone trying to use the CB in your area. Forget about radials
in the attic, you'll screw it up, stop trying to get cute, JUST BUY A
NORMAL CB ANTENNA AND PUT IT OUTSIDE, YOU F-ING MAROON.



If you get that upset about such a trivial issue then maybe you should
look for a stress management support group in your area.




Antenna tuner loading his rain gutters? Chances are
good he'll be into all the electronic devices in his house.



That's a crock of **** and you know it.


OK, he doesn't live in a house, it's a RANCH, so all his
cowboy buddies in the bunkhouse will hear him
on their TVs and stereos. It'll get into the phones too.



Maybe it will get into your pants and relieve the pressure on your
brain.


And if he starts keyclowning with that setup it'll be
100 times worse. What's wrong with a NORMAL cb
antenna designed for plug and play? Get him messing
with RF grounds and radials and such and he's
headed for disaster. I predict.



Oh my god, maybe he'll get interested in getting a license and become
a ham -- it's the Hindenberg all over again -- the humanity!!!
