Get a real radio first if you're gonna start messing with amps. Run enough
power through that cheapy antenna and you'll change the color of your paint
underneath it. ;-)

There is a guy here selling palomar tx75 and tx100 linears, it is a
thread right here in the newsgroup, I think the tx75 is around 100
watts and the tx100 a bit larger... you might contact him and
inquire about them...

... ebay is another source, although they have to call them "amateur
linears" or "ham linears" there, just get one capable of covering
the 11 meter band...

A base linear plugs into the house power line.

A mobile linear is wired to the cars 12V system...

Both types, in CB linears, are constructed to take a 5 watt drive,
from your radio.

You can get linears at most radio shops on or near truck stops,
off the internet, and at other shops/suppliers.

Russian linears are now available and built like battleships, they
can be located on the web, 5KW and bigger are available, however,
with these large linears--you first need a 50-100 linear in front
of them to drive them, else, a 10 meter ham radio converted to 11
meters and with sufficient power output...

Ask a trucker where they got their linear, those boys usually know
were to get 'em and where you can get the most bang for your
buck...

Where does one get a 100 Watt linear? And what powers it?

Thanks!

If it doesn't "get it", simply chuck in a 100 Watt+ linear
behind it, it'll get it, that mag mount antenna isn't really
great, if you go a linear make sure it will handle the power (I
have used the emergency radio antennas with a 100 watt linear
and gotten away with it--anything more may damage the antenna or
linear), a better antenna would help both xmit and recv.

One thing. Go on ebay and check the prices on some CBs.
Clearly,
there
is
still
a demand.

After reading all replies and comments I went to eBay and just
won a 40 Channel Radio Shack emergency CB for $20 and it's on
the way. Has mag base antenna, connectors, like new. My handle
is "Story Teller" - All I want is something capable of line of
sight on the highway. This should do it. Que no?
