Wayne Get a real radio first if you're gonna start messing with amps. Run enough power through that cheapy antenna and you'll change the color of your paint underneath it. ;-) I used to verify the tuning of our TBL on the USS Collete with a simple neon tube plus all the 'official' stuff. So I know something about emissions; which were never powerful enough to hurt a human being or even a mouse at close range. So... your suggestion of paint removal is... how should I say it? A bit far fetched? My signal from that TBL would reach Washington while I was in the sea of Japan. But I must confess total ignorance when it comes to CB. I agree. ;-) With my attempt at levity aside, I was trying to tell you that if all you want to do is communicate with local, and I do mean local, truckers for local road info, then your little RS will do the job. If you are actually going to get into CB further and end up purchasing a real radio, antenna, and perhaps an amp down the road, then you are better off buying a decent radio/antenna combo now, and maybe an amp later, and canceling the RS radio, or sending it back. If you want to throw money away, well, I guess that's your look-out. I was just trying to save you some greenbacks. ;-) Thanks Jeff! I'll probably end up keeping the emergency CB for the car, and if I get back into the mood, get a decent station CB with the right equipment, antenna and mike. After chatting with some truckers and paying more attention to this newsgroup. 10 - 4. ;-) Wayne |
