Where is the amplifier in a radio?

Will a 10-meter-linear(Amplifier) work on CB Radio frequencies?

  • Will a 10-meter-linear(Amplifier) work on CB Radio frequencies? Like the one on here http://www.1stopelectronics.com/shop/?shop=1&cat=133&cart=569561 at the bottom "Palomar Deluxe Modulator 1", or on this site http://www.pacetronics.com/prodpage.cfm?Cat_Selected=0&Subcat_Selected=0&Group_Selected=0&Product_Selected=86&Search=Yes

  • Answer:

    Not without modification. FCC rules require ten meter amplifiers to be designed in such a way that they are not operable for 11 meter (CB) use. This was done specifically to stem the illegal use of too much power on CB. Why not just get your Ham radio license and use ten meters? The tests are roughly 50 questions, all multiple guess, and morse code isn't a requirement to get on a number of bands. Soon, it may not be a requirement at all for any license class.

How much power are you wanting to run threw your cb radio? Cause I think personally that http://www.amateurlinearamplifiers.com/cgi-bin/cart.cgi has the best selection on amps, and if your wanting a ton of power, take a look at Fatboy 8,000 Watt Mobile Amp. It's $2,400. Ya'll need a pre-amp, I forgot what size but ya could always email them, and see what size ya need. But I recommend going with an amp. that puts out anywhere from 500 watts - 1,000 watts, anything higher then ya may have more problems with either burning out something or not being able to make enough power to run anything... and more power ya have the better chance ya'll get caught by the fuzz. And if your gonna run an amp. make sure ya just have a single antenna setup. If ya have a duel setup it may mess things up if ya don't have them calibrated just right.
