    Splitting hairs intentionally, trying to illustrate how laughable fcc regulations are, as if they dont have bigger things to worry about without being concerned about Billy Big Rigger running more than 4 watts, that should get a response from the Ham's.

    I just feel that 4 watts for cb radio is so 1970 and outdated, most drivers , and cb base stations, are either going to use illegal radios or illegal amps, or both, it really isnt enforced unless it interferes with emergency or government radio communications.

    Not me. I've never talked to the Moon before and I don't use amplifiers currently. I had to sell them to pay my divorce attorney. Most of the time how far I transmit is determined by the ability of the person at the receiving end to detect weak signals. The greater their ability the further I will transmit.

    The power output is legal but the radio itself is not legal for the purpose you intend to use it for. Quite often turning the power down on these radios turns them into more of a splatter box than they were with the power wide open.
