Get a real radio first if you're gonna start messing with amps. Run
enough power through that cheapy antenna and you'll change the
color of your paint underneath it. ;-)
I used to verify the tuning of our TBL on the USS Collete with a
simple neon tube plus all the 'official' stuff. So I know something
about emissions; which were never powerful enough to hurt a human
being or even a mouse at close range. So... your suggestion of paint
removal is... how should I say it? A bit far fetched? My signal from
that TBL would reach Washington while I was in the sea of Japan.
But I must confess total ignorance when it comes to CB.
I agree. ;-)
With my attempt at levity aside, I was trying to tell you that if
all you want to do is communicate with local, and I do mean local,
truckers for local road info, then your little RS will do the job.
If you are actually going to get into CB further and end up
purchasing a real radio, antenna, and perhaps an amp down the road,
then you are better off buying a decent radio/antenna combo now, and
maybe an amp later, and canceling the RS radio, or sending it back.
If you want to throw money away, well, I guess that's your look-out.
I was just trying to save you some greenbacks. ;-)
Thanks Jeff!
I'll probably end up keeping the emergency CB for the car, and if I
get back into the mood, get a decent station CB with the right
equipment, antenna and mike. After chatting with some truckers and
paying more attention to this newsgroup.
10 - 4. ;-)
