It's just stupid that people who don't understand a shit even consider using this. |

It's simply an overpriced and custom labeled transistor from China. A well known local online shop sells the TIP36 for EUR 0.88. The Max Mod is about 10 times more expensive and doesn't improve the performance of your CB. It would have to burn the same amount of power resulting in the same amount of heat to be dissipated. But it provides one benefit, the seller will make more profit when selling a Max Mod instead of a TIP36. >:D |

As it's fixing what's not broken, thus TIP36 would not be bought to begin with. |

I am getting the impression that these transistors either don't do or can't do what they are advertised to do in the first place? Is this a scam? |
