Sorry, Jerry, you're wrong here. If you are caught with an amplifier
capable of being used on 11m CB, and you're not a licensed ham radio
operator, the FCC will PRESUME that you intend to use the amp with
your CB, and you are guilty. If you're a ham, and you get caught
with an amp connected to an 11m CB, you're guilty also. You do NOT
have to be caught operating the amp on CB to get "busted"!

The FCC occasionally sets up at truck weight stations along the
interstates and busts truckers who are using amps. Most of them have
the amps just sitting in plain view on top of their CBs on the dash
of the tractor.

This information comes directly from the FCC Field Office in Dallas!

Nope not true, actually the fcc changed the rules as of january 1 and cb is now limited to 1500 watts am or ssb and they have expanded the cb band to include what is called free band. So rev up them 25 kw stations.
