My dad helped me hook it up and I found many people on their chatting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I was intrigued by the cool features and the ability to talk to someone on it. I was also curious about how the components worked and what it would cost to fix if my radio stopped working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I met a guy named John &#8220;Moondog 151&#8221; Buettner who was a local CB radio tech that didn&#8217;t live very far from me. I spent a lot of time asking him questions, watching over his shoulders, and wondering if this was something that I could learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a few years of bugging John, watching what he was doing, and how cool it was to see someone&#8217;s CB radio back in good working condition, I felt that this was my passion and was something that I really wanted to pursue as my career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I opened my first CB radio shop at a young age. John didn&#8217;t mind having another shop nearby as he continued to teach me his great wealth of knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I am honored to have been part of the radio community for all these years throughout the USA and now I currently serve tens of thousands of customers from 49 states that mail their radios here for professional radio servicing &amp; offer excellent quality work, great customer service and stand by my work 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large
