    "The legal crap again"

    Every CB radio I have is an export with way more than 4 watts. I dont give a rat's about that.

    Fine Tune, however, is a well-known merchant. He may not want to publicly announce that he is running power

    You may need to inform them that you’re not using a cb radio, then they would understand why you’re blowing their doors off, and when you say you are running barefoot.

    I believe you guys have demonstrated that the term "barefoot" is meaningless nowadays. The term may have contained some useful information when everybody understood and agreed that a barefoot radio was a 4-watt factory spec device operating without an external amplifier, but obviously those days are long gone.

    Nowadays, barefoot can evidently mean any radio that is transmitting with any level of power; e.g., from a fractional watt to one thousand watts or more, but without the benefit of an external amp.

    Who knows, maybe some of the "bowl" radios are barefoot, depending on how they happen to be constructed.

    So, how valuable a term is that?
     
    Night Stalker10 and Timin770 Thank this.

    Well I think everybody knows he’s running power. Just like Naptown said, the amps built into the radio. There’s a reason fine tunes not selling cobra or Uniden radios.

    If Mark was hauled before the FCC and accused of running illegal power, he could always claim his AT 6666 was legal. If the FCC was able to find a video of Mark stating the radio was overpowered, his goose is cooked

    Honestly...Who really cares...If an amp is on a radio what difference does it really make in the big picture..Who on the radio these days tells god's honest truth..

    Yes, but it probably wouldn’t hold up in court, since he has several videos showing him using other brands of radios on the CB frequency. Not that the FCC really cares.

    Nevertheless not a good idea to admit lawbreaking on a video
