I wasn't offering CB as a model. In fact, because of its rather unique
history, I don't think one can use CB as a model for much of anything. CB
went to h*ll in a hand basket after Hollywood associated it with the illegal
activities shown in several movies of the time (Convoy, Smokey & the Bandit,
and so on).


You're off by a few years. Back in the early 70's, I used a CB in our
company trucks, and there were plenty of rulebreakers then. Most every
time I had to buy parts from a local, I got to see their overheight
towers and linear amps.
