If I understood your comment as well as the PS you added, it seems to me,
it
would be kind of ridiculous to insert some sort of low level Linear "in
to"
a transmitter to jack it up to 4 watts or more, don't you think? By the
time
you get done screwing around doing that, you could by a damned radio with
rated output or one of the 10 meter radios that can put out more than the
rated legal power, if you want to go that route. The FCC web site also
states it is illegal to modify the insides to do same - so either way, it
would be technically illegal. It is a moot point in any way shape or form
to
discuss raising the RF power out of a CB past legal limits regardless how
it
is to be done, internally or externally. I suppose we're both saying the
same thing in a different way!

Only if the linear "raises the power of the cb". Did you scroll down

According to the FCC Web site


Operations
Equipment
Territorial Limits
Linear Amplifier Ban
Antennas
Ten Codes

47 CFR 95 Subpart D prescribes all operating requirements which
apply
to CB. General system technical details and major operational
regulations
are highlighted below.

Equipment


You must use an FCC certificated CB transmitter at your CB
station.
You can identify an FCC certificated transmitter by the certification
label
placed on it by the manufacturer.

Territorial Limits


You may operate your CB unit within the territorial limits of
the
fifty United States, the District of Columbia, and the Caribbean and
Pacific
Insular areas ("U.S."). You may also operate your CB on or over any
other
area of the world, except within the territorial limits of areas where
radio-communications are regulated by another agency of the U.S. or
within
the territorial limits of any foreign government. You may also be
permitted
to use your CB unit in Canada subject to the rules of Industry Canada.
Travelers to the U.S. may operate a CB unit within the U.S. as long
the
unit
is FCC certificated.

Linear Amplifier Ban


Users may not raise the power output of their CB units. That
would
be
unfair to the other users sharing the channel by raising the level of
radio
noise. You must not attach a "linear," "linear amplifier" or any other
type
of power amplifier to your CB unit, Moreover, you must not modify your
CB
unit internally. Doing so cancels its certification and you forfeit
your
authorization to use it.
