eBay - Biggest supplier of CB amps?
Bob Headrick
offered for sale anywhere in the US. Here are a bunch of listings that appear
to violate 47CFR2.815 of the FCC code. eBay typically allows these auctions to
continue even when they are brought to their attention. Please let eBay know
what you think of these illegal items by sending them email at:
safeh...@ebay.com or Rep...@ebay.com . While they generally choose to ignore
the law in favor of "eBay rules" they may pay attention if they hear from enough
of us. I have dozens of form letters from them while the illegal auctions
continue.

Bob, if they'll amplify a CW signal, they can't be all that bad.

as long as the seller makes sure they sell to a licensed person there is
no problem. It is those who sell to anyone, and especially those who
actually ADVERTISE it for illegal use (such as "100w CB Amplifier for
sale!" or something like that).
If you are going to nail the venue, then anyone running a ham swap, etc,
is equally guilty. It is the seller and buyer who are committing the
crime if those who should not have linears buy them.
Not Ebay.

Why should anyone demand anyone change a call?

Aha. Well, I suggested to Larry this morning that there are several prefixes
available with the suffix "GOD." Since he reveres himself thusly...I think
it'd be a great call for him! :P

Larrah, you don't achieve excellence through testing. You achieve excellence
through operating. I'm not impressed with your paper excellence.

Straight key? Let him use the Vibroplex - at least he would have half a chance.
And wear a disposable plastic poncho - it could get messy.

Who cares? And besides... Ebay is well aware that they have no legal
liability for the listing of equipment. Legally linears for CB are an
administrative offence, not a crime. All the FCC will do is to send out
their squad of marching nazi's to harrass you and make your life hell
for being enough of a pain in the butt with your amplifier because the
complaints would be to great to ignore or your a**hole neighbor has a
political connection or two.
Guess what... I have about 10 solid state units. They all work very
well. There is this one, that I have that does 385 on AM and a whole lot
more on sideband. It goes well with the HR2510 on field day.
I've found that my icom 706 is great because I don't need an amp, and
has 2M built in. It gets rid of 3 radios and the amp in the pickup. It's
a real sweet solution to clutter.
73's!

Perhaps on your stomping grounds the two criterion are mutually
exclusive.

The best looking YLs in the universe are in Texas. That's why I moved
back here. How many Miss America's from the past 15 years were from
Texas? Think the 1:50 odds hold? Nuff said.

So far I've not felt compelled to stomp in that area.
