"since most likely fcc seem to have a account here (lets face it do we know or not.?) no need to fuel their fire more." I agree with everything you said but not that we should avoid making the FCC angry. They are obligated to set aside their "angry feelings of fire" and uphold the law. Speak...

I PRESUME YOU DID IT, THEREFORE YOU DID IT. We cannot be 100% certain, although we can be reasonably certain, that he was building in the United States. The whole video could have been a computerized hoax, although I doubt that very much. We really don't know, beyond a reasonable doubt, what...

I hope the focus of regulatory change will be to reduce the laws that no one cares about, that do more harm than good, are low priority, are a misappropriation of law enforcement resources or simply put- that don't matter (What's more important: a licensed amatuer who forgets to properly...

I agree that if the FCC warned him about building the amps, than he can stop building, or keep building but don't post. That is probably what happened. I doubt the FCC told him to take down the posts because they don't care about the posts, but rather the underlying crime. There are two issues...

Simply put, my point is that he has an independent right free of all government influence to post or not to post. We have an obligation to protect that right. You can disagree with him but please let him do it.

No, just no. Never let the government "chill" your desire to speak. Videos are a form of speech. You must fight for your right to post whatever you want except child pner Everything else is game. When the government tells you to be quiet, speak louder.

No way was that illegal. There is nothing wrong with filming and posting illegal acts. Law enforcement cannot order take downs of videos. The whole Internet is full of illegal acts. Making meth, making bombs, making illegal cars, making knock off televisions, making amps, it's all legal to post...

You don't know that. His videos were allegedly yanked off YouTube. What he is building in his garage right now nobody knows.

The issue is not about whether he was or was not legally operating or possessing the amp; but rather if the video was lawfully on YouTube. If the video was legally posted the content is not relevant. YouTube is full of illegal acts. Why do these threads always lead to a discussion about the use...

Broadcasting from the fifth highest mountain in Orange County, CA.

I don't buy it. Many youtube videos are intended to be fake. Many youtube videos show acts against the law. Last night I saw CNN broadcast a murder, that was later put on youtube. There is nothing wrong nor illegal about communicating illegal acts. Hijack warning: Second, to say that new CB...

I would suggest using in the area of 1/2 to 2 watts. If you run a deadkey of 5 watts I bet the rms out of the amp will be in the area of 40 watts or so which will give it a 2:1 ratio to PEP which is bad on the amp. That amp looks like it's seen a few all nighters.

Vern was was an old man and didn't care what people thought about him. That was the pre-Trump era when China stuff was still cool. He just enjoyed making inexpensive amps and selling them.

Here is one of Vern's best, the Palomar 700. He always liked the 1446 as drivers because "they have more swing". Can we get an internal shot from the OP? 4368

I can tell Verns work. The screws, the way the aluminum cover slides on, the lettering on the back is a give away- it is exactly the same font! The black plastic thing where the power wires come out, look like from the same manufacturer. Those always would come loose. The pics I posted are...

Yes, it is a Palomar Elite 300 without the label. I would bet it was made by the late great Vernon out of Texas sometime during the late 1990's or early 2000's. It has 2 1446 transistors in it. It may have "automatic SSB" It was made by "Native Americans" whom Vern hired, and they...

CBrs are cheap doods for sure. You would have to corner the market somehow, not easy as there is some decent competition. Not all people in the CB manufacturing and sales are compromised. Some have day jobs.

Reverse Engineering dah da.

What team and tools would you need? An wannabe rf electrical engineer, a former machine shop guy and of course a marketing genius. Rent a 1000 square foot bottom office floor spend 10k for the tools, and wammo another cb amp manufacturer. You have to come up with a catchy name and cute logo.

It makes sense to buy the pcb boards from low cost foreign producers assemble the final amp in the USA and resell them retail or wholesale. BBI has the right idea but he may not be executing correctly. If Trump taxes imports 35 percent that has to be dealt with :LOL:
