    Widebands?

    innovate LC-1 + XD-16. beware of some of the cheaper WBs, they lack the flexibility and user calibration that some of the "higher end" models.

    Bi-Tron Oil Additive...Snake Oil? You be the Judge

    i've done no name calling. as for working, define it. FEELS better? sure. actually doing something measurable? doubtful. be careful- we are merely exercising the same freedoms you are. you are free to hype a product, we are free to disagree.

    Bi-Tron Oil Additive...Snake Oil? You be the Judge
