I'm not trying to encourage or discourage you... just trying to
give you the facts.

But, by making it internal only, you ARE encouraging the hacking of
radios.
I don't know about America, but there are very few real radio techs in
this country willing to take on CB work. It simply doesn't pay what a
real tech is worth. If they try to charge what they are worth, the
CBer will simply find a cheap "rig doctor" who has no real training.
Alternatively, they will try to fit it themselves... they will ask in
some group, and most likely get help from one of those "rig doctors".

Either way, "rig doctor" or DIY, they are likely to end up with
a hatchet job. When the system sounds like crap, will they really
blame their work - or your product?

I agree that there are many people that don't have the
expertise to install such a device. These folks would have to seek the
help of a technically competent person... such as a CB shop as you
mention.

Some time back, a regular customer brought in their radio and a
speech processor, which they wanted fitting. The speech
processor was a well known type, and had been obtained from
a well known UK supplier.
I believe that that the shop purchased the processor in kit
form, putting it together, to allow for their profit margin... because
I simply refuse to believe that the manufacturer makes such a
hatchet job of their soldering and wiring.

Proving that, even if your product only goes to retailers or
is only fitted by retailers, it may still end up as a hatchet
job... and your product could get the blame.



As for your question about the Turner... sorry... I have no
knowledge regarding this unit.

You have no knowledge of the products you are competing with?
And no intention of providing what the customer desires?

I can understand you ignoring the rantings of a bitter, twisted
old man who may have a grudge... but someone interested in your
product?
This seems to suggest that YOU decided that YOU want to
make and sell a product based on YOUR desires... not on what
the consumer wants or needs.

It reminds me of a certain singer who said that he didn't care
that his latest stuff was not what the public wanted... he
liked it.
Last I heard, I believe he was cleaning streets somewhere in
America.
