Hi Denny & Larry,

I'm aware of the large amp's used on 27MHz and have a heavily modified
16 device 14v CB amp in my collection with a proper bias circuit for
SSB operation. However, it's still only suitable for 10 through 15m in
it's present configuration.

I took my blinkers off around 84 when I was in the states and drove
non-stop from one 'shootout' in Tyler TX to another in the Windy
City!

Larry, My HF mobile vehicle runs an early turbo diesel engine and was
built before engine management systems were introduced. Heck, being
diesel there's not even a traditional ignition circuit to interfere
with. Receive's also nice and quiet:-)

So, without increasing PA voltage it seems one's still stuck with a
bunch of bi-polars. How technology has move on in 25 years - not.
