Tom, looks like we're 99% agreement. I agree that most of the CB guys don't know how to work on their radio. But then a modern Galaxy transceiver is quite a bit more complicated than an audio amplifier and has a good number of "non-servicable" parts. Spectrum analyizers are expensive but needed to do proper alignment and phase lock work. A multi-meter and an o scope won't cut it. Gotta have both an AF generator and a RF generator too.I will admit that all amature radio operators are SUPPOSED to take an exam. But any Joe Blow can buy a ham rig and an antenna so........
Lastly, you are certainly correct about the interference part. If one looks closely at most electronic gadgets there will be something in the manual (if not on the device itself) that says that in compliance with federal law the device MUST ACCEPT interference!!!! I've never understood that but that's the way it is.
Ah, gov'mint at it's best.
cheers,
