Actually, there is a correlation.

He knows that. He just likes to insult me.

Nothing was insultive was said to you in the above post.

Really? It's funny, when someone even remotely suggests that you're
opinions are off the mark, you accuse them of "getting personal", yet
you don't seem to apply the same consideration when you refer to
advice as "voodoo bull****".

But

he's way out of his element and way too far
into mine if he wants to talk about radio
theory.

Hehe,,,,that's the davie we're all used to, the one that needs to blow
his own horn.

If the shoe fits. In all likelihood, I've probably forgotten more
about the technical aspects of radio than you know now.

It ilustrates your blown self-esteem. I guess if I was as
ignorant as your remarks about FCC law that hold roger beeps illegal and
dxing as a felony,

Deny all you want. DXing IS illegal, and roger beeps were at one time
considered in the same vein as other noisemakers as devices to amuse
or entertain.

I would hurry up and start tooting my own horn about
another area of which I have slightly more knowledge than that of the
law which governs "your" element.

I understand the law well enough. At least I'm not blatantly
disregarding it.

Nevertheless, tuning a 4 watt radio will not affect any "S" unit on the
receiving end. You go on and believe it will and continue to sling your
voodoo bull**** that is found in your posts from your claim of making a
Davemade "spectrally pure" (something which you are unable to define,
but claim you did) to your bull**** about increased S units from a 4
watt radio.

Are you THAT literal? Are you disputing my claim because you're hung
up on the absolute definition of a "4 watt radio"? The term "4 watt
radio" in this context, refers to a stock (legal) CB. If you peak the
radio, of course it will no longer put out 4 watts, otherwise why do
it? The truth is (a truth that you're either too anally specific about
or unable to comprehend) that if you double your transmit power, you
increase your signal by 3db. A typical "S" meter is "calibrated" in
6db increments. Therefore, assuming a linear (no not the amplifier)
scale, an increase of 6 db (1 "S" unit) is the equivalent of taking a
4 watt carrier, and increasing it to 16 watts. Something that is not
possible from a simple "peak job".

There's nothing "voodoo" about it. But don't take my word for it.
Check out some books on radio propagation, and read it for yourself.
