Are we better off without CB? We have FRS....

Can't debate the finer points of the Crap Radio Service. Hmmm... limit CB to 1 Watt and channels, if you have your Ham license, you get to run 1.5KW with VFO. I like that idea Charles - run everyone upstairs to MURS, GMRS and FRS.

But, who would comply? I now have a neighbor under a hundred yards from me running 2.5KW. Nice guy. I gave him a low pass filter but it's for hams so it only works up 1.5 KW.
Yeah, yeah, already talked about between the radio and amp.

Interestingly a Ham running 15KW wouldn't be a nice guy by anybody's standards and that's only a tenfold increase in power compared to 2.5W~2.5KW for a CB'er. I wonder how long that would last with the FCC? Compared to say, the average Nice Guy/Good Buddy on CB?

Just wondering.
