Most readers of this thread won't like this But if you want to get out LOUD,...............
1 Get a cobra 29Ltd from a CB shop who tunes them And
A) tell them dont clip the limiter
B) Have variable power installed
C) have modulatiuon turned up to 100%
2 Buy a good Base antenna Imax 2000 best not to get a beam for local talking or skip for the new guy just starting out.
3 Buy a 2 transistor amp I like them with 2---2879 transistors TexasStar DX350HDV
Buy a powersupply large enough to run both The bigger the better say 50 amp contineous.
The best coax you can get after all you want to run the amp.
A good meter to measure SWR Watts and modulation.
A power Mic. Astatic D104M6B hand held etc.
Set it up and check SWR, Get a radio check from a local and adjust the mic setting to 7 and mic gain on the radio so you are loud but also clear. and then leave it alone.
Set the variable out-put on the radio for 4 watts local and this is important 1 1/2 to 2 watts when useing the amp or you will burn it Up
and last but not least Hope the neighbors don't complain and hope the FCC doesn't show up at your door to fine you and remove all your gear Because yes this is all Illegal
