Any legal use for linears?
 

I`ve seen linears advertised on Ebay with the warning.."For licensed
amateur radio use only"..My question is..Is there a legitimate legal
use for the typical Class C mobile linear containing 2879`s? (Yes I`m
the same Programbo)

Programbo:

Yes, there are legal uses...

However, best use might be behind your CB rig!

Well obviously..But just wanted to make sure before thinking of
buying or selling one so the wording can be right in the ad

Looks like you answered your own question: "For licensed amateur radio
use only". And FYI, a Class C amplifier is not a linear amplifier.

So?

J'ain't no good for a CB! Class C is ONLY good on FM!

A weight

Conversation piece for in the living room or in "the john".

Spare parts!

A place to hide money! (oh, the money was wasted on that illegal linear for
a mud-duck radio!)

Collateral to turn over to the FCC in return for not going to "The Pokey"!

A power source for a vibrator!

Or a faint light in your shed late at night.

Maybe in -your- crib.

Spare parts!

In case any parts of the other one go bad,,that's an excellent idea..
Highly doubtful, though. Many of the small cheaper mass produced linears
are practically disposable,,,,use them for many years and when they die,
toss them out if the cost goes above 25 bucks to repair. They're cheap
enough.


A place to hide money!

Why, you could fit your life savings in there, but your coins would get
hot.


(oh, the money was wasted on that illegal

World-wide mud chicken always gettin' up!


Collateral to turn over to the FCC in return for

not going to "The Pokey"!


You have a very vivid imagination.


A power source for a vibrator!


That's the type things people think about when they aren't getting laid.
