    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.

    If Quagmire was on during the CB boom he would have had every bored, horny housewife in range beating a path to his door, like this mysterious, intriguing sex god with a party pad had... heh heh heh.

    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.

    I'm wondering how much power it takes to do this
