Hi,
What's all this business I hear people talking about blasting
people's car stereos or killing cars altogether with high-power RF? I
run 2m, 10m, and 11m in my jeep and I'd like to sort out the fact
from the legend and find out what kind of power I can use without
risking damage to my jeep or cars around me. At what power level is
front-end overload to a nearby radio likely? At what power level is
damage likely, and to what componets?

I am currently using only 50 watts on a 5/8 wave (2m), 25w on a 1/4
wave (10m), legal 4w on a 1/4 wave (11m)

Thanks,
Nelson KE5MBX


I think over 100W you may have problems with HF and VHF. It can be a
problem.

One thing that works real well is to transmit near the x-ray radar
band where you have privileges. The traffic may slow down a bit as you
set off the radar detectors :-)

Yeah, and it REALLY lights up the detector detectors....
