2.5K...hmmm. BAD ham!
Hello, I have a Like New, one owner Ameritron AL-1200 Amp for 10-160 meters.
I have only used it a handful of times on 17 meters. When I bought it from
AES 2 years ago, I had an Electrical Engineering friend come down to test
it, as I am visully impaired. It did about 2.5 KW into a Oil Filled Dummy
Load. I keep it covered when not in use and I am a non-smoker. I had a deal
and he couldn't come up with the money, but it is all packed in its original
boxes. I am asking $1800 and I will ship, or 1725, and you ship from near
Pgh, Pa. I can be reached at or 724-875-9357 Thanks for
reading this, 73, es g.b.

Regards,
Marty, W3QK

linears are illegal for cb

Linears are not illegal for CB.

ps, unless they push more than 5 watts!!!!!

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.

Only if the linear "raises the power of the cb". Did you scroll down on my
original post:-) ??

in this thread?
where would a cb radio need a linear to get 4 watts out? please explain.

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!

Yeah, in this thread. My first reply simply states that "linears" are not
illegal in CB. And if you scroll down far enough, you'll see the punch
line. And the fact that no one makes(to the best of my knowledge)a 4 watt
linear, was the "play" in my sarcasm.

Call it a failed attempt at humor:-) Although, technically, it IS true.

OK, well, in that case - please refer to your reply to Jim regarding your
ill fated attempt at humor! That was a better response.

Ya...but it does MORE than the allowed 1500 watts PEP, therefore it's
illegal.


For a "hamguy" you sure don't know the ham rules very well.
