CB in a Class A
I am thinking about putting a CB radio in my Class A. Any suggestions? How do the portable ones work? Thanks

" I had a 10 liter CB that was tweaked, had funny channels and I had a 250 watt amp that I used for emergency purposes only. One time there was an emergency out in the wilderness and my cell phone got no reception! I was in Washington State, I turned my amp on (hooked up to my C.B.) and got ahold of a gentleman in North Las Vegas, NV. and he called the Washington State Patrol for me! C.B.'s are a very useful tool when used properly!"
"10 liter"?? I presume 10 METER was meant.
If so, while it could be tuned to the 11 meter (27 MhZ, CB) band, it was illegal to do so.
"very useful tool when used properly!"
Right. Using a NON-type-accepted radio, at illegal power levels, is "proper use".
True, it WAS an emergency, and in theory anything goes in an emergency. I could probably get away with using a 5K amp under my General License in a true emergency! Not that I would ever have one of the fool things!
