You really shouldn't amplify your CB signal... it's not very nice, you could be stepping on someone and not even know it. You can be heard from farther away.. but you can't hear them unless they have shoes.

Think about it as screaming to someone who can only whisper..

Same in Atlanta sometimes...if you do use a linear, learn to use it. Like only when you need it, and shut it off when you don't.
And please, NOT for horsecrap.

Well, TBH, I run about 30w of swing, and I turn on my amp about 4x a year when someone ticks me off or I want to hit someone I hear way out in the bushes; otherwise, it's just not been needed.
