So do you have anything that shows that?
Not saying the info is wrong or right but just wondering.
By the way, I know two people running legal limit amps in their trucks, no issues with the truck ecm or anything else in the truck, but that is a quality amp.Kickstand-117 Thanks this. -

well you either believe me or not, your choice but typical fm radios used by emergency services and private two way users are 50 watts and have the option of using a repeater and that will have 500 watts according to fcc regulation.

SO I understand where you are coming from but there are some radio systems (VHF/UHF) that run a lot more than 50 watts, I had a Motorola Spectra that had 110 out, it wasn't like my GE that I gave away that had 250 watts out. There are a couple which have close to 400 watts out but that's HF stuff. -
Right but those fall under the ham radio rules. Not the same rules as a cb. You have to have a license for those. Whereas a 4 watt cb you do not. Don't confuse people who don't know. If the electronic thingy in a truck you use to talk on without a license has more than 4 watts. It can be seized and whoever had it fined a lot.

My comment was in regard to 200+ Watts causing damage to the ECM. Reps from both GM and Ford have told km e that they design to handle 110W.
FYI, if you blow the ECM running high power on CB, it mauy well not be covered under warranty. -
