I have my CB and SCANNER wired directly to the battery...

Now I was given a CB AMPLIFIER and am going to wire this also to the
battery..

I have my 2 amps for my STEREO wired to the amp...

QUESTION is ??? - I am adding one more thing to my battery... IS this

going

to damage the CAR BATTERY...?

You probably won't. I suspect you won't be running the linear at the
same time as the audio amp, so at any given time, the current draw
shouldn't overwhelm your truck's electrical system.


As a side note, you do know that running that CB amplifier will be
illegal, don't you?

No, that is not correct. There is no law against running a CB amp.
in you vehicle. It is completely legal.

Seems we have a surplus of "pretty darned stupid" around here today.

Another illiterate CB idiot.

Wyoming is the only state at this time that requires an
"amplifier endorsement" on your driver's license. But that is just a
matter
of paying the $1 fee, getting the endorsement, then you are completely
legal.

Oooops...I as wrong...

We have a DOUBLE dose of "pretty darned stupid" today.

If the FCC canceled that law years ago they need to update their website.

Oh, you could use a "CB" amp on any ham band *IF* you have the grade of
ham license
for whatever band/subband you wish to use. But you better clean up the
harmonics it
will likely produce....

Anything that draws power from your auto electrical system will decresae
mileage -- by how much depends on the current draw.

E.G., your car headlights and night lights

I heard that if you run a big radio it will cut down on your gas
mileage. Is that true?

And because you memorize 25 questions out of a book, then go back
and spew them out on a so called "test" that your ham buddies "give"
you, is that suppose to make you "intelligent" oh Mr Foot-In-Mouth
ham??????????

ROTFLMAO!

Laugh all you want, Your Putziness...

I didn't have to "memorize" any questions...I actually learned the stuff.
And even if I had WANTED to be a twit and "memorize" the questions, such
verbatim "Q&A" texts weren't available when I passed my Extra.

Furthermoe, if you care to research Google on my position on the present
testing system, I am staunchly in favor of closing the question pools and
making it illegal to publish the questions AND answers to ANY test of ANY
federal licensure.

Choke on your own stupidity, Scumbag. Considering the past post, it won't
take you long.

Same answer as in other post, Your Trolliness...

CB Amplifiers are illegal...Period. Any "state" permit is invalid as they
have no jurisdiction.

Back under your rock, Scumbag. You're already 0 and 4...Not a good

The guys over in the Dodge truck group will probably not appreciate
it that you are calling them "pretty darn stupid," just because you think
you know more because you are a ham radio operator

My Amateur Radio licensure has nothing to do with it.

I was a CBer long before I was an Amateur. CB rules forbade external
amplifiers before I was an Amateur, and they still forbid them today.

Part 95 (CB regulations...NOT Amateur) say so.

If he's using an RF amplifier for CB, he IS pretty darn stupid. Last I
checked the fines can be as much as $8000 per day per violation if the FCC
really wanted to be ugly about it.

It really is THAT simple.

Even being so simple, don't expect a cber to understand it.
