Not at all, seems like it's the American way to blame kids behavior on the television or music or some other bs.

Seriously though...name one person that you actually know, not just a story of someone that has EVER been pulled by the the FCC or DOT for that matter, for running to much power in their rig. The FCC is as worried about you running an Export, or a modified CB just as much as the DEA is worried about the granny that smokes a joint a week for her ailments! What the FCC is looking for out there are the people that are running 15,000 watts or even more out of their homes or, in some cases, from there VERY modified SUV! (15,000-30,000 watts is what an AM radio station uses) Now do you really think the FCC is worried about my 75 watts without the Linear on or even the 400 watts with it on when they have fish THAT big to go after??? I don't think so... You go ahead and talk to the 1% that still run on 4 watts and lose them 1.5 miles down the road, I'll keep taking on my 75 watts running the interstates...I may even flip the ole Fat Boy to "max" and run all 400 watts if the conversation is interesting enough... -

EXCEPT for 2 meters I run under 100 watts and most of the time under 40 watts power we have many on 2 meters who are running HT's into a base antenna I can hear then at 15 miles or more. -
To all the CB guys.Don't let these hams fool you.There are ham ops who have amplifiers that are so large they take up a complete wall of there radio rooms not to mention that 95% of the amplifiers sold or used by hams will do way more than the legal limit of 1500 watts,and you can be #### sure they if the guys want to get that once in a life time contact they will turn those big amps up to the max!
P.S.the Stryker radio is one of the most poorly designed radios ever built.They sound really good to others but the receive picks up every kind of electrical noise there is.I have had 5 of them,one of them new and they all sucked! -
Here I tell then about running legal radios and you go blow my cover .....
YES I run 100,000 watts on CB my corolla is a cover for the 50 foot trailer it tows with a amp so big it shuts down the power grid when I fire it up .....
Fact really is you can work with 4 watts EVEN on CB sadly it's the fools that run the big amps that make doing that hard ......
Now look for a RED COROLLA with a big trailer and smoking antennas .... -
Seriously, here's ONE ham who runs 100 watts ALL the time (except on 60 Meters) according to the rules of my service. I don't NEED amplifiers. If I can't talk to 'em with 100 watts, who needs 'em? I have a 6 channel Rad Shack radio I bought in 1976. Still works. Still have the paperwork and receipt. That's because I have never monkeyed with it, twisted or turned pots, tried to make it do things it shouldn't. I use it to find out which lane to get in (by simply listening) during slowdowns, and turn it right back OFF. I don't CARE to be "loud and proud"! I don't CARE to splatter on other people! I dont WANT to "squash 'mudducks". I don't give a rat's --- about that! It lets me know what I want to know, and then I go back to the amateur bands to do my REAL "worldwide" talking! All with a measly 100 watts or less. Heck, I can take a 2 watt handi talkie, going thru the repeaters and talk a 100 miles or more!
