Second Question Same As The First (almost)
the radio I'm looking at uses 8 amps on am and 15 amps on ssb, on transmit.
I will wire the thing into the circuit when I get it to the motor home but I would like to use it with a cigarette lighter plug, in the auto en route. Secondly what would be considered minimal antenna for 30 watts am and 100 watts ssb. I don't really expect to have much use for ssb of course. I have K40 magnetic mount from some time back. |

You're planning to use a radio on CB that is illegal to use a CB. I'm not going to help your dumb CB'er retard ass anymore. SC |

You might want to go directly to the battery. As far as the K40. It's excellent, so long as you don't run power. I cooked mine. If you want to run power, get the Wilson 1000. If you get 100W SSB, I would get the Wilson 1000. You are close to max with the K40. I owned both, and thought they were equally effective, except for the power handling. Vinnie S. |

So that little capacitor in the base of the coil can handle the full 500 watts? |

And I blew mine out with far less. Vinnie S. |
