I know nothing about CB Radios - Well, almost nothing...

Pretty much, except some of that Miracle stuff in the auto parts store actually works...

CBs are commodity items. Every part is designed for its job. For example, the final output transistor is a 4 Watt part, not a 10 Watt part that's working at below rated capacity. You may be able to push it to 5-6 Watts, but at the cost of a shorter life. Beyond that, anything showing up on a power meter isn't on the frequency you're using...

(FYI, "she" is the proper pronoun; the "Ms" in my username should be a giveaway... )

 

Mea culpa (or mea gulpa?) I guess I'd thought the capitalization used was to denote a resident of MS, but in order to avoid confusion with using Intercaps font and having a long string of caps, the "S" was changed.
I should'a figured what with the spot-on tech skills, the language arts would'a been similarly up to snuff.
Sorry about that, ma'am. Err, miss. Errr.... dang. Mizz.
I'll go away now.
