It doesn't take 3 separate units to triangulate your position anymore-- they can do it with a single chase car or even a Plane or chopper. And you know you'll get careless and be setting parked in a T/S lot with it. If you start causing a problem with government communications-- you're become a high priority. The $$ they have to invest to find you.. the bigger the fine they gonna slap you with.
Yep sitting in the truck stop with 200 other trucks they will certainly run right to my door ...LOL

BTW, anyone can sniff out a transmitter with a $50 RF scanner procured on eBay.

However, a word of advice... watch out at the terminals with that thing. My first trainer got his amp yanked at the Fontana terminal when he got a PM service done on his truck, due to it being a violation of policy. Other than that, just make sure to keep a clean signal and low SWR. You'll be ahead of 99.99% of CBer's with just that.

Wouldn't surprise me... With a radio that has a decent S-meter (like the Galaxy 40-channel that I have), it's really easy to hunt down mobile units. Not too long ago, I did that to a Raven Transportation driver who was spewing political drivel, and after I announced his position to everyone, he never spoke again. (It didn't hurt that I drove right past him before I made that transmission).

Current company lets the driver have these items, but they really want anything to the battery installed by the shop , but as long as the shop likes the wiring job they don't say anything , and my wiring job is clean and non ghetto everything run through existing grommets and all wires cleanly tucked away through the dash power/ground cable properly fused and sized and cleanly connected no duct tape or twisted wires ... My current SWR is 1:2:1 ...which is basicly as good as it gets .

I'm going to buy a bigger Amp currently I have a Dave Made 1x 2 (3 pill) which dead keys about 200 watts and swings a little over 400 , But I want a little bigger and am looking to buy a 2x4 ( 6pill) and am looking at Dave Made and World Wide the World Wide is about $150.00 less than a Dave Made 2x4 , But I've never owned a World wide amp , So I'm not sure if saving the $150.00 is really saving anything .
get you a 400 amp Motor Maul and get you a 8 pill or look into a 2x8 just going to a 2x4 wont give you that much more but stepping to the 8pill will give me a pm if you need help with getting a good amp and setup |
