linear amp?

[DX949]

It's OK... they just look foolish, because we are not breaking one damn law.

...and you're right, this is the best forum... I liked when I had my SSB CD with my 100K Linear...
It was tuned and had extra freqs that were in a unassigned area. I was nice and quiet except for a few ppl that also had it.. and the clartfier was fix, so I could go in between freqs.

I had a good time... got up on a hill here and L.A. and got all over the place.

10-4 good buddy ! lets keep it rolling and have some fun,cuz thats what this CB THread is all about,

I remember back in the early 90's we had a bunch of folks who woul gt the biggest baddest radios get the antennas as high as possible, then start running a 500 [or higher] kicker just to talk with friends about 3 to 5 miles away. And since they all were so close blasting with that power they thought they had a big radio.


Let's see running power above the LEGAL setting, using frequencies beyond the LEGAL area. YUP that's all right. I guess for some of you SPECIAL [in your mind ] people it's OK. The rest of us little folk must bow to you..................................................NAW I won't!!

Just about. But they would climb a 100 to 200 foot tree, mount it near the top, run closer to 500 to 750 watts and use modified 10 meter radios and have everything so ramped up it wasn''t funny. [ One guy lived 1/2 mile away from me and would bleed over my AM/FM radio and on the CB no mater what channel you were on he'd bleed over so bad you couldn't hear a thing.

One day while he and his wife were gone someone [still don't know who] took is antenna down the hardway.............[they cut the tree down LOL]

Had a buddy in the L.A. area here that ran a 1000 Watt Linear with a Power Mic... He was heard....Sometimes just to let him know I heard him I would throw an AM Carrier into his SSB freq....He couldn't get out over that....Ha!

No one implied that you must bow, just a light tip of the the hat will do.

I know how my radio was set up.
Freqs 1-40 SSB

Then you flip a little rocker switch on the side and you have freqs. 40-80. SSB

A locked clairifier to get in between those frequencies, so what you hear will be that exact freq you are broadcasting on.

100 W Linear under the front seat.

I forget the antenna, Firestick I think...

Worked great.. I would talk with Australia, Hawaii regularly when when air traffic permitted I even could talk locally.. j/k.
