    50 watt mod? Gimmie the straight scoop...

    Back to the first question, now I have a question, would it not be cheaper to leave the radio stock and buy a small amp if all you are after is more power anyway? 2) Would that not work as well as an all out modded radio without all the splatter?

    CB Milage Limit

    Lets go back to moving the whole thing out of the hf spectrum a minute, wasn't this talked about before with the 220 mhz area being the place where cb would end up because at the time it was used very little?

    A NUTTER COAX QUESTION?

    Thanks, I personally don't have any need of this setup I just heard some folks talking about it a while back, I just didn't see how a length of coax was going to change impedance, but I thought I might be over looking something, I know back in the 70's a lot of guys would use the old flat ladder...

    I know all to well about administrative law having delt with it in some unrelated issues, I know from experience that if it is not specifically stated in the record ( rules) it can not be said to apply.
