I don't think the radio shops can soup that one up anyHmmm that would be odd, most of the Good Shops where I grew up could mod anything for power, as long as you slid them the right amount($10-100, depending on how much of an increase)... Sure you would be limited to a point, but not as bad as it would be untuned....
Blitzer, how old are you man? And I was reading in your signature that you don't like England and that stateside is better, so why not move to the US and come hang out with some of us sometime?
So do you guys think a CB shop could tune my Radio or not, cause I know where a CB shop is at down here and wouldn't mind a few extra watts outta this radio, cause if I put the squelch too, High I don't pick hardly anything up, and too low and it's just squawking. There seems to be no middle ground for getting good reception....Tuning won't help that, you'll just piss your money away. Spend the $$$ on a better antenna. Power is good for short-range pissing contests when you want to "step on someone" and drown out their signal. We have a 200 watt "kicker" on the CB at the asphalt plant here at work for talking to our trucks and they can hear us 15 miles away (20 on a good day), but it did nothing for our reception. We can hear our loudest trucker (he's putting out 30 watts) up to about 10 miles.
Well what did you expect going to Miami!
Should have come to New England!

Take that radio to the shop and see what the man says. Maybe you can still return it to the store and get a better radio. lol
