Default Double Super Hetrodyne what does this do in a CB Radio ?

There is a possibility -- a very weak one -- that this bizarre
market-speak means that the radio was designed with a double-conversion
receiver. It's impossible to say without seeing a schematic.

Why anyone would put that much effort and expense into a CB radio,
however, is beyond me. I think you're running into nothing more that
marketing buzzwords. "Double Super Heterodyne" certainly has no meaning
in the technical world.


I think it means something equivalent to "has ears and barks well into
the next county bubba 10-4 beep".

Okay, that was a nasty shot but there were indeed double-conversion rigs
back in the CB heyday. When every other trailer in the court was
running kilos of Bird-watts double talk conversion had its advantages.

We're 10-8 and on the side bubba 10-4? beep. Gotcha comin on. Beep.

I really don't know this lingo...I'm reading it off the side of a 1970s
beer mug....a cheap mug at that.
