Use it in your truck without a linear and your chance of hitting the
lotto is about the same as you getting busted with it.

CB by law is 4 watts out. Many export radios can easily double that.
Doubling one's power at low watts can make a huge difference on 11

So it sounds like one could use a 10-Meter illegally without fear of
likely getting busted for it. Still, I'll probably hold off on getting
a 10-meter until I'm "down the road" a bit.

Thanks for the feedback.
