New piece of CB gear - purists are gonna cry

Oh I know, but with that mixer, the mobile super bowl could drive right by your QTH while in a "radio race" and you'd still be able to conversate, methinks.

What's it got DBDR?

HP hot-carrier diodes in a quad. Not sure of the device numbers. I'm going to do some BDR and close-in IMD testing, and may end up experimenting with a matched quad of 1N5711s if the OEM parts aren't quite up to the job.

No 'bowlers in my immediate area so I don't have that problem to worry about.

Yeah, that's gonna be a fun project. That front end sounds bullet proof.
