Nah, Read the part about me getting around so much chasing those trucks. I
thought it was funny.


As to the HOA thing, I live in a quiet, deadend street where only occasional
cars strays when lost. All of us know something is amiss if a car comes
down and remains in here (we know who's cars 'belong' here and who doesn't).
And we have the proverbial nosy neighbor, the "widder" woman that lives at
the very end of the street. She'll scream for the cops faster than you can
say SCAT! So, if there were someone down here taking
pictures. she would take care of it FOR me.

and after you finish this assignment go read about the history of the
area you live in and then come back and tell your old uncle gee what
its all abowwowwowout.......

Speaking of ignorance,

I know a helluva lot about this area, betcha. That filter
in your car (oil and air) comes for WIX filters (two plants
in town). Got Firestone tires? The tire cord plant was in
Gastonia for 70 years--now located just west of here. Bearings? Timken
Bearing Division, Kings Mtn, NC.
Aircraft engine parts? Pratt & Whitney plant in Gastonia!
And (hold on to your hat) if you are a trucker and drive
a Freightliner, um, it is likely that it was assembled in
Mt Holly, NC --the parts plant is located on I-85! Got friends that work
there at BOTH plants! Battle of Kings Mtn, Revolutionary War, October,
1780, decisive victory for the Patriots. British forces surrendered and
it
was a major turning point in the War and a resounding slap against
Cornwallis. The Mecklenburg Declaration of
Independence occurred prior to 1776 (I'd have to look
at date). Remember the Charlotte Hornets? That name
goes back to the Revolution, too. Cornwallis's forces
suffered yet another defeat where he called that county
a HORNET'S NEST! That was why the basketball team
was named as it was. ...........we could go on and on.
This area that YOU are so dense and clueless about is a
thriving metro area with mega-buck corporations--particularly banking
and
insurance. Companies have flocked here because of lower taxes, a good
work
ethic,
and plenty of amenities such as convenient Interstates,
airports and recreation for its employees such as sports,
mountains, beaches within a day's reach and boating on
the lakes with which we are well blessed thanks to the
Catawba River.

Try again!! TAN-fer thar?



LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!

J

very good oxendine.....now then since you are a hamster hanging around
a cb radio newsgroup whining about truckers operating on your precious
10 meter bands

Again, YOU are the one that has no clue. Governance of
radio is regulated by Congress in the USA. It is regulated to prevent the
tryanny of mob rule--which the use of radio would become without oversight.
It's because of that we have representatives upon which we VOTE: don't like
a law? Get it changed. Your very demeanor loudly proclaims your lack of
understanding of how radio regulation works, its 'ownership' by the people
(the USA
does not "own" the airwaves) and the reasons why it is divided up into
segments. These regulations make "fences" that keep one group from
interferring with another, or even within the same group. Like it or not,
neither you or I have a "right" to operate a radio; it is a
privilege accorded by the governing bodies of nations. Some nations severely
restrict use of radio by its citizens,
or allow none at all. Just for getting caught in possession
of a radio could get one hauled off to jail or executed! Here, in the USA,
we are lucky enough to have a Repre-
sentative Republic (it is NOT a 'democracy' as many mistakenly call it). Our
Congress has seen fit to regulate it
thru the Communications Act of 1934 which created FCC. That is because it
is realized thru past experience
what happens when people can just operate anyway, anyhow, and in any way
they chose. All you gotta do is
just listen to the CB (SQUEAL, HOWL, YOWL, WAH!) caused by thousands of
signals beating against each other. No training, no regulation, no
self-control,
no knowing why CB continually self-destructs itself on
a daily basis. Believe it or not, it was not always that way. Yes, there
was 'skip', but people didn't try to use it
to any great extent. They didn't have all those annoying,
beeps, squeaks, burps and babyish noises; no need for it. None of the
infantile "cutesy" sayings ("keep the sunny
side up and the flat side down", etc.) No "swang", no "pills", no "SWRs
(plural)", no "ya gotta have a 'certain' length of coax"--just people using
the radio to conduct local personal affairs, keep up with family, run
errands, and talk with friends. GASP! What a concept! Courtesy
was the order of the day. In the late '60s, CB radio WAS
a pleasure. Around here, there were clubs that sponsored dances, raffles,
collected money for sick and
shut-ins. You could see "coffee breaks" on the highway,
and everyone bent over backwards to be a neighbor and
a friend via CB radio. It was what CB radio was originallly supposed to be:
everyman's affordable 'car' phone. What it morphed into is now a nightmare
of
noise, amplifiers, overmodulated, noise toy-ed free-for-alls. It a game to
feed under-fulfilled egos by being top
dog with mo' powah. It is almost a paralysis.


which incidentally belong to the people and not just
you or the government and since now that you have those letters by
your name ,



you align yourself with this said government

We ALL are the government by representation; if you don't like a law, get it
changed thru legal, civil means. That is why Amateurs have ARRL to
intercede and lobby
on behalf of "hammies" as you like to say.







'deputized' to seek out those
dastardly truckers operating on 10 meters, well sir in my book that
makes you and the rest of your little stupid crew as nothing more than
a bunch of major league rats, who haven't got anything better to do

OK. If that is what you want to call it, FINE! Like it or
not, those of who chose to obtain a license did so thru the
legal means set up by our people--the representatives, the
CONGRESS. I have used this before but it seems not to
be simple for those of lighter minds to grasp. Those self-same lighter minds
would grab their guns and yell, "YOU
GIT OFF MY LAND 'FER I CALL THE LAW" or "Yer fixin' to git shot". Why, the
very idea of them guys fishin' my lake, yeah, the one *I* stocked with
perch!
I bought that land, or I leased it, and in so doing, obtained
the legal privileges that go with it--to have, to hold, to use as I see fit.
And, of course, they would not hesitate to
"rat" to the police anyone found trespassing on their land.
Yet those same minds cannot grasp that, despite any argument to the
contrary, that there are "properties" both
tangible and IN-tangible, and there are laws/regulations to
protect ALL, NOT just those who want to steal from others. Those "hamsters"
'paid' the *lease*, as it were,
by fulfilling the requirements of the entities charged with
protecting all citizens--not just CBers, or truckers, or lawless bandits
(who have no "rights"--they are THIEVES no less than a bank robber).
Remember the
group you so disdain--Congress? That group of repre-
sentatives YOU elected, the gub'ment? We is them and
they is US!!!!!!!!! Don't like it? Change it!

So, just like if you were found camping in someone's back yard, those who
"paid" the lease to use the Amateur
Bands are not going to sit idly by and allow squatters to
just invite themselves in. Just like the property owner with the pistol,
assisting the FCC in monitoring for illegal bands is NO different, and we
are no more "rat" than
you would be if *I* were digging a hole in your yard with
a backhoe without permission.





also check the cb slang at the door. i never knew anyone that talked
like that.

HAHAHAHAHA! I don't even need to justify that: it bears witness itself. All
ya gotta do is listen--just listen
for 5 minutes.


Y'all take ca'uh, yuh heah?

Bull. I was a ham operator (still am) before I got into CB - and the world
didn't end when the FCC gave up on trying to enforce laws requiring licensing,
callsigns, not working skip, etc. by CBers. (As a matter of fact, I doubt how
many CBers - or hams - under 30 even know that CB once required a license.)

It's because of that we have representatives upon which we VOTE: don't like
a law? Get it changed.

You don't get it. The end of licensing for CB wasn't forced by people
writing congressmen - but the same way blacks (and Indians) got civil rights:
massive civil disobedience.

No training, no regulation, no
self-control, no knowing why CB continually self-destructs itself on
a daily basis.

CB is very little used up here in the central North Carolina area. The days
of a CB antenna on every car trunk are long over. Any problem with CB vanished
with them; I hear damn little on Ch. 19 driving in various places between
Raleigh and Winston.

Yep, tell you a little short one about my neighbor. She
is not exactly dottering, but she is a trip. One day, I went out to get my
leaf rake under the carport, and it was missing. Hmmmm, I thought I hung it
up on the wall??
A search ensued; no rake. I figured someone had stolen it
and forgot about it. Few days later, I heard a noise and
perceived movement out in my carport. Here came the
old "widder" hanging up the rake that she conveniently forgot to ask for.
So THAT's how things had been dis-
appearing! Soon after I purchased a barn shed (one of
those storage sheds sold everywhere). I hung up my tools
up out in the shed and locked the door--not because I
was trying to stop *her* from lifting my yard tools, but to
get them out of the way and in some sort of order. Again, I was downstairs
and heard a noise/saw motion thru the basement window. There stood a very
perp-lexed lady looking at the empty hook where the rake used to stay! She
was welcome to use my tools when I
wasn't using them, I just want her to ASK rather than
just help herself!

And she takes her trash out and dumps in MY roll-out
garbage can instead of using her own! I don't care so long
as she doesn't fill it so that I can't get my own in there.
LOL!

Heh, that's some funny ****. You should of traced where the
rake was with a sharpie..J/K This eccentric old land barron
down the road from me, still has both daughters living at home.

These -girls- are both 45+, and have never left the nest. They're
both uglier than a mud fence, but they love my wife and I, and we
enjoy their strange company.

The old lady is 82, and I watched her shew a bull back to his
stall with nothing but a stick and a grain bucket! She's still
full of **** and vinegar. Her old man is long gone, but he bought
major acreage in the 40's out here. She subs some of it to the
local farmers to pay the property taxes.

She still gets the recipe! (white lightning)

I have to feel sorry for you, because, well those 4/wheelers can't drive, and
give us that can drive a bad name, but that is not really what you asked for,
ok
ANSWER: A 4 watt CB is not much when you are looking at a recieve meter pegged
out with noise, and you have to turn your squelch control almost fully
clockwise to get the annoying thing to shut up, in other words 4 watts will not
do the job unless you are tailgating "drafting", the trucker ahead of you and
you are both on the same channel (frequency), otherwise if you want to be heard
by the oncomming truckers, you will be forced to put some: (" Fire in the
Wire"). Now I do have to tell you that amplifiying those 4 watts is illegal, by
the FCC rules and regs and sometimes the penalties are steep, but you are
swimming in a ocean of CB linears keying on you, thats what that scratch growl
roar is when you turn the squelch down, and to be heard, you have to x-mit you
signal to be more powerful than that for however far you want to talk.
Now for the rest of the story as" Paul Harvey", says: As a generl rule the
names and numbers labeled on these outlaw CB linears varies, in other word they
don't mean much, ( you can't get 300 watts out of a box with 2 pills say MRF
455's which are 60 watt pills under ideal conditions.), Say the average 2 pill
linear has a pair of MRF 455's, or SD1446, the 455 will do about 60 watts, and
the 1446 about 65, and is about to explode to get that out of it. By the same
token, a 2SC2879 will do about 100 watts, although they are rated at 120 watts
few will get close to that, and paying double price for matched finals is well
brainless,not worth the extra expence.
Now we get to the real question, what will meet your needs? You have a choice
between single pill, double pill, and quad pill configureations, the numbers
stamped on the front of the unit are meaningless, and do not give anything
close to what the capacity in output yeilds actually are, and yes you can make
some loops of wire on the inside of the unit to make it show more output on a
watt meter, but you are being lied too, all that is are harmonics, that fellow
tv viewers will scream bloody murder over. There is no actuall need for
anything over 4 pills, because the average driver out there does not have over
that, so he can't dust skip land's britches to make the trip back to you, so
anything bigger than 4 pills is a waste, and for the most part anything but
trouble free, stay away from liears with driver transistor to "drive the
finals", they drive too much usually, and cook the finals, and there is no
warranty either, so its your bill to pay to repair.
I would probably run either a two pill or 4 pill most likely a Boomer ( due to
the larger relay, and simple and proven design, some of the others are ok, but
remeber it is going in a truck, where it will be beat to death on rough roads
). The single pill is not enough usually, and stay away for the stinger board,
the garb where they take the speaker out of the radio and put a single pill
linear in its place, ( there is no way to get rid of the heat, and it will fry
both the stinger and your radio).
Another thing is your antenna, a 4 foot fiberglass does ok, anything shorter is
well not very effiecent, and usually harder to get the SWR in operational
specs. Don't waste your money on dual antennas either the SWR's are too tricky,
and you won't know the difference between a singe vs a dual antenna
installation, not to mention the cost. Try to use quality coax cable, ( RG-8M)
is just fine, they sometimes call it mini-8 coax, just make sure that it
doesn't get pinched or otherwise shorted out, bad coax will destroy your
linear, and your radio, so a cheap SWR meter is the best money you can spend,
check the SWR daily, an ounce of prevention is alot better than an "OPPS",
there goes the bank account.

You mentioned that you had a Cobra CB, I can't tell you if it will be ok, but I
can tell you that compact radios are not a drivers best friend, yes I know they
are cheap, and that is ok, the problem is all of the tiny surface mount
componets on both sides of the circuit boards, they will not withstand the
beating they will get in a truck, and they are not worth repairing either,
because they are junk by design.
Do yourself an favor, get a back up CB, so if your primary radio quits, put the
extra inline, and check to see if antenna or coax is the culprit for the
malfunction.

If you get tired of the filth and foul language on CB, there is VHF HAM radio (
have to have license for this), there are hundreds of repeaters all over the
country, and you are almost never out of range of at least one repeater, and it
is perfectly legal, as long as you are licensed, the ALINCO DR-135 does a great
job, and there will always be another fellow ham operator who would call help
for you at the drop of a hat, if you break down in the middle of no where.

Hope this helps, and remeber that CB amplifiers of any kind are illegal, 73's
