Guys have you read the stuff your putting out here think about what your saying before you write it. 4 watts legal out put for CB if every one was putting out a legal 4 watts what do you think it would sound like on channel 19. It would be quite real quite and you could talk for 5 or 10 miles or at least the line of sight which is determined by the curvature of the earth basically 8 to 12 miles depending on terrain. Because every one runs all the power there signal travels in the hetradine or noise floor of the band in the skip zones and there fore the noise floor on 11 meters goes up real high. thus you need more power to over come the power that other folks use to make all the noise. And then we get into the edicate on CB basically none. Why do you have to try and talk when some one else is talking. If you can hear some one talking then the channel isn't clear and you are basically saying shut up i want to talk and you don't matter. That is some of the differences between the Ham and the CB'er we run only the required power to make a contact and carry on a QSO and we never interrupt a QSO unless we have something to add and then only after asking for permission to join the QSO by saying our call sign in between the 2 parties when they give a break in the conversation. Curtosy and comon sence have gone out the window on CB and it has come down to the person with the most power and the most money wins i guess if you want to play in that type game thats your choice me i would rather talk to friends all over the world on 3 or 4 watts or maybe 500 on a bad day but still not interfere with any one. As far as talking on those extra channels it is up to you so when and if you get caught and it cost you your equipment and a bunch of money its on your back you have been told and you have been warned and yes the FCC does care what happens there they just can't be every where all the time. But sooner or later like the person who speeds all the time sooner or later they will get caught. Now if you want to run power and splatter all over the 11 meter band be my guest but don't blame the Hams from trying to keep you out of our bands with out the proper license and the proper equipment. We don't need the splatter boxes in our bands we have enough problems with the new no code extras that don't understand the mike gain doesn't need to be all the way up and you don't need a roger beep and a echo mike on SSB in the Ham bands.

 

Ok dude i cant wait to get my new radio and hit 29 mhz channells then key up just walk on all yall for 5 counties. I hope someone TRIES to find me.

 

As usual, I have to agree with KD. The etiquette thing makes me want to get my sideband radio fixed (slipping off freq) because there I can find decent adult conversation and manners. Also many Beavis types, but not like AM.
TM, I think you're one of the guys who really bug even us CB operators from the sound of it. No point in it. Walking on people is retarded IMO (I'm not calling you a ######) and only for self-gratification. It doesn't prove anything viable.
I actually quit using my base station because the local rednecks kept finding us and interrupting our convos with their bovine excrement, making it a lot less enjoyable.

 

Gotta keep up with the Mc Coys. You gotta understand that dont you?

 

Actually most of us don't care if you are running 50 KW, as long as you stay within your CB band and your signal is clean (this means that it doesn't contain harmonics, which cause interference somewhere else). E.g. the second harmonics of the CB bands fall into the terrestrial TV bands (and some regions used by the military).
Unfortunately most cheap CB "linear" amplifiers are anything but linear and splatter all over the spectrum.
Another thing you'll have to realise:
The CB band is in the upper range of the HF band. Under the right conditions the signal can get reflected in the upper atmosphere and have intercontinental range, so you won't just cause interference in your county, state or country, but even overseas in Europe, Asia or Australia, depending on your output power (Heck, we regularly hear Russian taxi drivers with their illegal amps from Moscow in Western Europe). This is exactly why the governments (based on an international treaty) demand people to have a licence and to pass a technical exam before transmitting with higher power on the HF bands, to know how not to cause interference.
Also, all radio services have certain regions of the spectrum allocated for their exclusive use. Us hams have a few narrow areas distributed all over the spectrum for our exclusive use. To use these bands legally you'll need a licence, period.
Most of the spectrum is either used by commercial services (who pay a lot og money to get a licence to transmit there and therefore get quite angry if there is interference on the bands they paid money for to use exclusively) or various governmental organisations like the military, rescue services or air traffic control.

Tomorrow I'm going to buy high power linera amplifier from a former commercial radio station. It can go as high as 2 kW continous power, but I will make #### sure that I won't cause anyinterference before I use it (and it has a knob to reduce power as well).

OK come find me. Happy Hunting
