Naaa, never shut off the cb linear, heck, you

think those guys out there are that stupid and

don't suddenly get a clue when you go from

4+ watts out to hundreds!

Some times the signal doesn't even drop, especially when it's that ld
stuff to Australia. But yea, their are those times where the kicker is
needed.

Get real!

From 200 to a kw on an omniantenna is not

quite such a shock (still, pays to be tricky)...

I don't run power on my base at all. I don't need it on the base. A
visible water horizon and a directional gets 'er done. On the boat, I
can sound like a big strapper with the right power mic. Add a hundred
watts to that and one could damn near shut it down at times.
