That isn't perfect, but they're good numbers. 1:1 is ideal. Below 2 is good. Above 3 will likely cause damage

Our group mainly uses 4 and 8. I'll probably try and tune those out to be better. Still new to the whole cb thing....

If you only use low channels, I'd leave it alone. Tuning it will balance them, bringing your 1.6 Ch1 and 2.1 Ch20 to about a 1.8 Ch1-20.

If you only use the low end or the high end, it can be better to have an uneven tune because it'll be more efficient at the frequencies you use

Was wondering if anyone has used this kit from eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/A340-AW4-Transmission-Master-Solenoid-Service-Kit-Filter-Shift-Tcc-Lock-Up-Jeep-/131107789801?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item1e86a21be9&vxp=mtr . I'm having the stuck in drive at takeoff and no tc lockup issue and have already replaced the tps, per suggestions I found on CF, to no avail. I also read on here a way to check the solenoids at the connector of the tcu, which I will do before I proceed, but a friend at a jeep shop feels it is the sloenoids and this looks like a cool kit. I am budget minded so price is a factor for not going to the dealership. 96 XJ 4.0 I6 aw4 np231 fyi. If you don't feel this is a good kit then please recommend something (I also found a link to a sight called oem solenoids, I think, but they don't have the gasket and filter kit so that's plan B, with separate filter and gasket, if this kit turns out to be sub par). Thanks.

What is this rogue connector under my drivers side dash and why isn't it doing anything productive?
