    Proof that hams are allowed to use CB amps

    I have bought and sold radio stuff and other stuff on ebay for decades. It's a calculated risk. Buying an amp that "may or may not be working" with no recourse seems downright foolish. Buying anything of value that may be dead with no rights to return seems too risky even for the lucky...

    Proof that hams are allowed to use CB amps

    Exactly. Many (most?) amps are used outside the United States. You could be selling it to someone who is going to use it in Peru. One final note back in the early 2000's Ebay would constantly delist any amp that by it's appearance could be a "CB amp." and threaten you with a suspension. So...

    Proof that hams are allowed to use CB amps

    Here's the final out. How do you know what country the end user will be in when transmitting? U.S. Laws only apply if the amp is used in the U.S. It's not a law that prevents sales within the U.S. i.e. cocaine. It's an end user law.

    11 meter is very quiet?

    Asking for etiquette face to face, on the radio, or on FB is never a good idea. No one likes to be told what to do and less you pay them.

    I thought it had the Motorola 1446s in it?

    Re work

    1446s had a reputation for having more modulation than the 2879s but less swing than the 2290. Correct me if that was not the "rumor" during the early 2000s or do I have it backwards? Easily get 250 PEP with two of them. Reminds me of the infamous Palomar 'Elite' 250 Vern made 2x1446s for...
