Quoted "Beware of information from "experts" (real or self-proclaimed)." Agreed
Some guys don't know when to shut up: http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/FieldNotices/2003/DOC-319563A1.html
A standard CB has 40 AM channels and a legal transmit limit of 4 watts.. Those CB's that also have the upper and lower sideband modes included...
Only on ch 6. 15kw is the limit for the other channels. Just kidding. 4 watts is the legal limit for AM, and 12 watts for sideband
Here's a recent citation for someone interferring with other CB users: http://transition.fcc.gov/eb/FieldNotices/2003/DOC-314014A1.html except in...
You sound more like a troll than an extra class ham operator. The use of illegal export radios in the USA is contrary to the FCC regulations and...
I downloaded the manual but did not see a specification page. I am curious what the transmit range covers - is it truly only a 10 meter radio, or...
What is the list price?
I see that you are in the north east part of Michigan, but if you are ever in the South west part, there is a good place just accross the state...
Looks like an ammendment has been introduced to exempt CB and ham radio use: http://tinyurl.com/78gtzyd
Yes, your grill acted like the missing ground plane that the anntenna needs to work properly. You have several choices depending on your location...
Oops, you're right - I forgot about the coax velocity factor.:biggrin_2559:
18ft coax is 1/2 wavelength on 11 meters. With a 1/2 wave length coax, the impedance at the antenna end will be the same at the radio end. If the...
Oh well.... time to take up knitting :biggrin_255:
While they are permitted to inspect the station at any time, admitting them onto the premises does not obligate you to incriminate yourself.
And should be getting even better. Current stats are: SSN = 46 for November, but the SF (solar flux) is up to 182. Propagation software predicts...
There is much talk here and on other sites regarding linears - their use, misuse, and the illegality of it. Some will try to defend their use by...
What they REALLY need to include on new units is the digital signal processing (DSP) that can be found on newer ham rigs to clean up the received...
Really dont understand what the problem with using 10 meter for local QSO's could be. The SSB section is large, starting at 28.300 and up, to...
At $199 list price I will think long and hard about getting one, though. Still, I like the SSB feature and would like to update my current...
