[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 1064897, member: 18471"] Have a driver in my building runs a 10 meter radio, he has a ham license. I know of a couple of other drivers using 10 meter radios. It's against the contract to run more that 5 watts and against FCC rules to run more that 5 watts on the CB band. The 10 meter radios sold by CB shops are for "export". That being said it's a little hard to enforce but the fines can be heavy if you get caught. I think if you constantly messed up someones TV signal or something like that near the hub and they complained or something like that. I do know someone who shall remain nameless who used a linear similar to this: RM Mod KL 35 Amp 25 to 35 w FM HF 10 Meter CB Linear Amplifier Burner | eBay with a Galaxy radio with the power turned down and it put out 25 watts, not enough to overpower someone but you can get heard. Not many people seem to talk on the CB anymore unless your stuck in traffic. If you use an echo mike similar to this: ECHO / POWER MIC for 4 pin Cobra / Uniden / DX CB Radio - Workman DM452 : Amazon.com : Automotive it will sound a bit like a "big radio", you have to be able to adjust the gain or it will squeal. Having "talkback" helps to adjust it. [/QUOTE]
