While it does sound like he knows what he is talking about, a 300 watt amplifier is completely illegal on CB and one of the main reasons the "band" became useless to those trying to abide by the FCC rules ... lots of difference between a rogue, illegal radio operator with no license and one that has passed a technical test and has a valid FCC license. ...
I agree... the word ham was still in my brain from the first link I posted (a ham site) when I was creating the clickable text for the second link.
Thanks. I guess I should have sig'ed ARS WB4BZX, a call sign that goes back 34 years - before that it was WN4ZNR as a Novice CW only operator. But, I must admit there is a CB in my TV along with a 2-Meter Ham radio. Anytime the Interstate turns into a parking lot I like the CB to find out where the blockage is, what it is, and then determine if I can get off to bypass it. I could care less about finding Smokey :S
Just to keep things on-topic, I often use the CPE 2000i to recharge the batteries that operate these radios. :Z
