    WOW! A few hits? Posse on Broadway. Hip hop soldier, Buttermilk Biscuits, Swass, My Hooptie, and Square dance rap are just a few of his hits and those are just the ones off of the album titled Swass. Hes produced for others and is a multi millionaire many times over. He was a cb'er before he became a rapper and he treats it as a hobby as everyone should. You might not like what he does with cb but hes earned a great deal of respect in the music industry and has done this without being involved with gangs, drug dealing, or drive by shootings.
     
    CousinVinny and Meteorgray Thank this.

    I ran 4,400 out of my truck, no splatter. I run 6kw out of my house, no splatter. It isn't the power that causes splatter, but 150% modulation, poor antenna set up and the I don't care how bad I sound attitude. I talk on the bowl and am heard, but I don't splatter.

    Oh boy. You must be a rookie. You can't use a phone while driving, and you sure can't call 109 in Florida or 169 in Ohio by phone. To comment about skip talkers, you need to understand what it is, and you don't. It is a sport.

    I'll bet that's ERP not actual output... The Wilson Super Laser 500 is an 8 (16 total) Element Vertical and Horizontal yagi on a 40ft Boom. Put a 1000 watts behind that monster and you've got that 50,000 Watt ERP...

    The shoot outs are done with vehicles, usually using 2-6 vertical beams.

    Lol...

    Yeah, poor antenna design combined with a tremendous amount of ground losses due to a lack of understanding of how antennas work.

    Two full length quarter wave verticals operating over a sufficient ground plane, (a quarter wavelength long solid metal disk, or metal mesh screen), and phased together with an actual matching network that achieves the desired phase angle will outperform those, "vertical beams". It's all about gain, AND efficiency. The theoretical gain of that beam antenna is lost when you bring it into the close proximity of actual earth ground.

    An antenna worked against the counter poise I just described will give amazingly high antenna efficiency, combine that with the gain achieved by driving them together with the correct phase angle and you get a really big signal.

    You want that RF energy to be reflected and reinforced, and directed at the proper angle.

    You don't want your RF to be wasted by inefficient design and absorbed by a lossy earth ground.

    An understanding of the, "brute force solution", to antenna gain is helpful.

    Basically, to achieve a noticeable difference in the receiving station using power increases a transmitter must keep doubling its output power...

    So, to gain 1db of audio, power must be doubled. This assumes that nothing else has been do to the transmitting antenna.

    4 watts doubled to 8 = 1 db

    8 to 16 = 1db

    16 to 32 = 1db

    32 to 64 = 1db

    And so on...

    It doesn't take long to reach the point of diminishing returns..

    Once you get to about a thousand watts the power gain of increasing amplifier power becomes a losing proposition.

    But, if you improve antenna efficiency by running a highly efficient antenna design, and then combine that by arranging those antennas in a driven array that produces gain by field reinforcement...

    Now, we're doing something.

    Wow revived a 7 year old thread.

    I hear morons all the time even on 19. They say the same stupid stuff over and over again. As a HAM operator I have to laugh at their inability to make contacts without stuffing illegal power out of their antenna.

    This thread is great...its relevant because I feel like I've noticed channel 6 a lot in the last month or so. WhooooDawgie
