Frank, you seem to have a very low opinion of CBers...


Wrong. I have a very low opinion of "ampheads". I have absolutely
nothing against CBers since I happen to be one myself. There are lots
of decent CBers out there and in the group.

Actually the provison is up to 5 units per year I believe. I should
have differentiated between amature self contruction and that of
comercial manufacture. My fault there.

If you say so. I find silkscreening a luxury that in no way affects
quality. Solder mask is good for high density boards to help in
minimize solder shorts during reflow. Your board is not that high a
dense board.

You're right... the silk screen has nothing to do with quality. It
mainly is an aid during construction. It also has benefits during any
repair procedures... to quickly locate components of interest. The mask
is also a nice feature during construction to avoid soldering issues. I
don't scrimp on these things... they are well worth the few dollars per
board in the long run. They also show potential customers that I'm
serious about making a premium product... just like boards you might
find in high-end commercial and consumer electronics.

You can give your car a $1500 paint job, mount some 20" spinners,
install a 12-speaker system with 500 watt subs, etc, etc; but no
matter how much you dress it up it's still going to be an AMC Gremlin.

Frank, we're not talking about your car on this thread... LOL

Slurp the CB hating troll, Brian.

Yes, I'm quite proud of my business accomplishments over the last 28 years.
How many years have you been making illegal CB amps for a living, Brian?

No he doesn't. Try reading your buddy slow codes posts concerning CB.

And you are doing what? Updating old Motorola bulletins, and building
electronic turn signal flashers that don't fit half of today's vehicles,
and most that it does fit are antiques. Yeah, big demand for you!
ROTFLMMFAO!!!

I can't imagine there's much demand for his CB amp either.
