Well, to start with we’ve been selling and servicing CB and
Export radios for years. Our unbeatable combination of
fast order fulfillment, custom radio configurations and
huge selection make us a leader is this business. We
have the experience necessary to quickly and
accurately solve just about any problem that may
occur with your radio setup.
Unlike most online shops we have an
on site repair facility so if the unlikely occurs and
your radio does require warranty service we can repair
it quickly. Keep this in mind when shopping around.
Another reason is that we don’t clip modulation
limiters. We firmly believe in tuning radios for clean
and clear modulation. If the shop does clip the
modulation limiter remember that in most cases it will
automatically void any warranty that the manufacturer
has offered on the radio.
We have recently upgraded our
shopping cart system as well as our back office
management software. This means that from the time we
receive your order we can have it processed, billed and
shipped in as little as 10 minutes. Our complete system
is fully integrated with UPS as well as our credit card
processor for quick and efficient order fulfillment.
Lastly our shipping department is
second to none. We use state of the art UPS equipment to
incorporate the entire process making it as simple as
possible. We stock hundreds of boxes that are the
perfect size for your order. We correctly package items
so they don't get damaged. We are one of the only
companies that can boast about the fact that we use new
shipping boxes and packing peanuts, the others use
newspaper and old beat up boxes.

Our Mega Tune is designed to provide you with loud booming
audio while still maintaining a clean and clear signal.
If you looking to sound raspy or bleed over many channels
this defiantly isn't the modification for you. Our techs
have worked very hard to perfect this modification.
The mega tune will not void any factory warranties,
it will not damage your radio and it will not make your
radio run warmer than normal. We also do not remove
or disable any part of the AMC or ALC circuit. We do
upgrade various parts of the audio circuit with higher
wattage or better quality parts. We also do a few other
modifications that make the radios wave form, when viewed
on an oscilloscope more linear. This means of course
you will sound as loud as possible while still maintaining
maximum clarity. If you are looking for maximum performance
from your radio we recommend you have us perform this
modification. We also completely warranty all work performed
by our service department. The mega tune will also increase
your peak power. Dual final radios after being mega
tuned typically put out over 40 watts and single final
radios typically put out over 30 watts.

Our True Tune is like a basic peak and tune. When you
receive your radio that have been True Tuned by Premiere
Electronics you can rest assured that your radio is
operating at it's maximum efficiency. We go through
your radio and re-align the transmitter section. The
reason this is necessary is because from the factory
most radios just aren't working at their best. The factories
don't have the time to sit down with every radio and
precisely tune it. They generally get it in the ball
park, but if you are interested in performance, you
need the true tune. Every modification we perform is
backed up with our unbeatable warranty! Like always,
none of our work will void any factory warranties.

We've been asked this question more times than we can count, so we've decided to compile this article so you can better understand it. While almost the entire CB market is polarized by big peak power numbers, the truth is average power is much more useable than peak power. This reason is because you might only reach your peak power for a fraction of a second, while your average power is most often seen when you're talking on the radio. The SP1-A does bring your peak power up slightly, but more importantly it brings up your average power or your usable power considerably. This means overall you will be louder sounding. Have you ever been watching a show on TV, when suddenly a loud commercial comes on? The truth is the commercial really isn't louder, it just sounds that way. The producers of these commercials use speech processors or compressors to make the commercials sound louder and get your attention. It works doesn't it? Now you can employ this same technology on a much smaller level, in your radio. You can have our technicians install the SP1-A, and it will give you a similar effect. With the SP1-A, you're going to cut through the background noise more effectively and sound louder. We don't recommend that you attempt to use a power microphone. Your radio will end up squealing like a stuck pig. We recommend a good noise canceling microphone such as the Astatic 636L or the Road King 56.

This is another common question asked by many customers.
"What antenna do you recommend for my setup?"
When choosing an antenna get the largest antenna
that will work with your application. There is no substitute
when it comes to height. Also when installing your antenna
don't forget to tune it for the lowest SWR. Instructions
on how to do so are included with every antenna we sell.
Keep in mind that if you're installing any antenna behind
the cab of the a pickup truck that some of it should
clear the cab. If your antenna has a coil, try to get
one with a shaft long enough so the coil clears the
cab. Reflection off of surroundings can have a significant
effect on your SWR. Also choose a high quality coax
cable with SOLDERED ends. Length isn't important, get
what length you need to get from point A to point B.

We stock a large selection of radios. Most of the time
we do have the radio you choose in stock. If we don't
we can usually get it in 2-4 days. If we can not get
the radio with in that amount of time you will be contacted
by a sales person. We work extremely hard to fill your
orders in a timely manner.
Most orders ship the same or the
next business day. Orders containing radios with custom
options can take a couple of days to ship. The reason
these are delayed is because it takes sometime to
properly customize a radio.
To drastically simplify it, the true tune is a
realignment of the transmitter section of the radio. The
mega tune involves completely aligning all sections of
the radio
Everything we sell is factory fresh (Brand New) unless otherwise
stated. Our prices are low because we sell more than
your local shop. We also shop for the best pricing and
pass the savings on to you.
We try to maintain the lowest possible shipping charges, but please remember we do use quality-shipping materials and they do cost a little more. Our shipping charges regardless are very competitive and often the lowest in the industry. Most orders are charged a $2.00 package fee, to help cover the cost of materials. We DO NOT profit from shipping and we feel that no business should! Orders over $140 require a signature; this adds a small amount to shipping costs. Over 99% of the time, our shopping cart will give you the correct and exact shipping cost. Often the actual amount you are charged is slightly less than what is displayed in the cart.
If you'd like to get a shipping estimate from the shopping cart, please follow these steps. First, add the items you would like to your cart. Next proceed to checkout and enter your contact information. After you submit that the cart will then display the shipping charges. The order isn't actually placed until you enter your credit card information, so do not hesitate to use this method. Entering credit card information is actually the next step in the process, but you do not need to do so in order to getting a shipping quote.
When shipping antennas like the Wilson 1000 and 5000, we find that a combination of UPS and USPS yields the most affordable shipping. The reason being is that they ship in two boxes, one for the base and the other for the whip. USPS is more affordable when shipping a long object, like the whip. UPS is more affordable when shipping heavier items like the base.
Generally USPS will be the most cost effective for orders that weigh less than five pounds and are valued at $100 or less. Orders containing heavier or more expensive products are usually cheaper to ship with UPS. Insurance is much more affordable with UPS. All packages we ship are insured for the correct amount, this assures you get the protection you deserve.
Radios usually cost around $10 to ship, microphones
and mounts are usually around $7. Antennas vary because
of their length, but most times cost less than $8 to
ship. All prices are UPS ground, faster services are
available, but do cost more.
No, we require a signature on all
radios or high dollar items. This is for your protection
as well as ours.
If you supplied us with a valid
email address one will be emailed when your order ships.
Please do not repetitively call and email us for a
tracking number, we are very busy and this slows down
everything.
Firestik put together a very good
guide that is loaded with information; the following
link will take you to it. SWR
Guide
Wow, this is a hard question
because there are so many variables and certain antennas
work better than others depending on the situation.
Generally speaking the larger the antenna the better
transmit and receive you will have. The large open coil
antennas work really well, but are more costly than the
rest. Keep in mind most have very good warranties so
take that in to account when shopping. Fiberglass
antennas such as Firestik and
Wilson
’s silver load series work really well and are a
bargain for the price. Keep in mind no matter what
antenna you choose, you must set the SWR!
This is almost impossible to answer
because so many variables come into play. For the best
range choose a quality antenna with good coax and make
sure your SWR is as low as possible. These steps will
ensure that you are getting the most performance from
your radio.
All we ask is that you give us an opportunity to serve
you! Thank you for your time!
