Illegal for CB.
So, let me get this straight fellas. You reported THREE Davemades to this guys
ISP. Do you ACTUALLY think that the ISP gives a rats-ass? I mean, did they study
FCC part 97? Did they look to see if there was a "FCC TYPE ACCEPTED" sticker on
the back of the amp? Is his ISP a conglomerate of amateur operators who happen
to KNOW the rules? I don't think so! You guy(s) have waaaaay to much time on
your hands trying to police the world. Kinda reminds me of the little Dutch boy
who has his finger stuck in the dike. It's gonna happen ANYWAY...like it or not!
If you're looking for a more time-consuming endeavor, might I suggest either
knitting or needlepoint.
MAULDROPPER.... "Puttin' the MAUL on 'em ALL"
Gosh, you should read your ISP TOS sometime. Pay special attention to the part
about "using the service to break federal or state laws" and "using the service
to transact illegal business".

Thanks for regurgitating the classic illegal CBer's argument. The fact that you
bothered to make it proves that you care DESPERATELY that no one pays attenton
to illegal CB. Because if they DO care, your screwed. Your job is to keep
repeating over and over that no one cares every time you run across another
person that does care.

Ok, let's clear this up before it starts:
From: Webster's New World Dictionary, 1963:
law: 1. all the rules of conduct established by the authority of
custom of a thation, etc. 2. any one of such rules. 3.... 7. any rule
expected to be observed.
regulation: 1. a regulating or being regulated. 2. a rule or law by
which conduct, etc. is regulated.
From: Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, Tenth Edition 1994
law: 1a(1): a binding custom or practice of a community; a rule of
conduct or action perscribed or formally recognized as binding or
enforced by a controlling authority (2): the whole body of such
customs, practices, or rules.... c: a rule or order that it is
advisable or obligatory to observe
regulation: 1: the act of regulating : the state of being regulated
2a: an authoritative rule dealing with details or procedure b: a rule
or order issued by an executive authority or regulatory agency of a
government and having the force of law
If you have any more doubts, email the FCC or the department of
justice. I'm sure they will set you straight.
>law: 1. all the rules of conduct established by the authority of
>custom of a thation, etc. 2. any one of such rules. 3.... 7. any rule
>expected to be observed.
that should be 'authority or custom of a nation'
I'm not going to debate this with you, Sparkly. I find your behavior in
this newsgroup to be worse than that of the "freebanders" and
power-running CB'ers that you are purportedly fighting against.
Set an example, for a change, instead of fighting mud with more dirt.
Didn't your mother ever teach you that two wrongs don't make a right?

>What about the 8 or so other meanings which you so conveniently left

Do you mean the verbal, religious, and scientific definitions? Feel
free to post them yourself, but don't forget to include the list of
synonyms. ....oh heck, I'll do that myself:
syn: law, rule, regulation, precept, statute, ordinance, canon -- mean
a principle governing action or procedure. LAW implies imposition by a
sovereign authority and the obligation of obedience on the part of all
subject to that authority <obey the law>. RULE applies to more
restricted or specific situations <the rules of the game>. REGULATION
implies prescription by authority in order to control an organization
or system <regulations affecting nuclear power plants>.......
How deep is your denial of reality?The key word here is 'govern', so
go look it up and post that definition, too.
>I'm not going to debate this with you, Sparkly. I find your behavior in

You won't debate it because there is nothing to debate. You are trying
to distort definitions to suit your own purposes.

Aw come on, Train. CB amps make not even an attempt to meet ITU standards
let alone those of any country with tech standards at all. There is a
difference between legal and 'not illegal' perhaps but the only places that
willingly accept them don't have electricity and worship sticks.
Can we put this tired old argument to death; the kids are in bed so we

And what, precisely, are my purposes, sparkly? Are you a mind reader

I made a comment, and now you're making an ass out of yourself with your
assumption that I advocate freebanding and running power. I've said it
before (and it hasn't sunk into your thick skull yet), and I'll say it
again: I DO NOT ADVOCATE FREEBANDING OR RUNNING AMPLIFIERS ON CB.

Sparkly, I am thinking for myself. I've not been brainwashed into
thinking that a Rule (and it is a Rule, as stated IN the FCC Rules) is a
Law. An Act was passed which brought the FCC into being, and gave that
commission the authority to Regulate (NOT pass Laws concerning) the
airwaves. They can make Rules, but the FCC themselves cannot pass a Law.
Only Congress and the President combined can do that.
I guess that's why the FCC calls them "Rules" and now "Laws"
The fact that the two words are synonyms means about a can of fecal
matter... If you look up the definition of synonym, you'll see that it
means (and I *AM* paraphrasing here) "words that have ALMOST the same
meaning". They're not exactly the same.
Now, I suggest you reach down between your legs, grab ahold of your
shoulders, pull REALLY hard and stop with the recto-cranial inversion
already.

<snip>
I suggested that you could ask the FCC yourself. I also quoted a
dictionary which provided not only each word's definition, but also
how each word is different. This is not a brainwashing thing, it' just
basic common sense.
So instead of frothing at the mouth from constantly repeating
yourself, why don't you quote something that says the FCC rules are
not laws. But it would have to be more credible than Webster's
dictionary, which isn't going to be easy. In the meantime, I will
contact the FCC myself and get their take, and then, if I get really
bored, reference a couple legal textbooks that explain all about law.
You got your homework, I have mine. Have fun.
Quote something that specifically and implicitly states that the FCC
Rules (even in the Rules they're called Rules) are Laws.
Until you show me where it's stated as a LAW, they will remain, in my
mind, Rules, as stated in the FCC part 97 Rules, part 95 Rules, etc...
Rules..
Oh, and don't pretend you weren't thinking "kilowatt running
freebander"... That was your implication, I'm sure, when you were
speaking of my purported purposes.
Can the FCC Rules be enforced? Yes.
By the Police? Perhaps. That all depends on the judge's interpretation
of the Rules.
Does this make them Laws? No.

You are starting to sound like CLP with his 'show me this' and 'show

for my argument than you have. In fact, you have provided none. You

Uh oh, you're starting to use twistie-logic. Don't give me loaded
questions, just give me an authoritative reference that supports your
claim that the FCC rules are not laws.
From Article 6 of the US Constitution;
>This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be
>made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be
>made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme
>law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby,

>notwithstanding.
The laws of the US that have been made pursuant to the US Constitution
are collectively called the US Code. This is the "supreme law of the
land". The Communications Act, a legislative ACT OF CONGRESS, SIGNED
INTO LAW by the President, pursuant to the U.S. CONSTITUTION, is now
Title 47 of the US Code.
Was that simple enough for you to understand?
Remember the Saturday morning cartoons, about how a law comes to be?

I don't know who CLP is, but the fact remains that your stubborn refusal
to back up your case has degraded this entire discussion to the point of
ridicule. I've decided to take this slowly, step by step, in the hope
that your brainwashed closed mind might possibly soak in viewpoints
other than those of the ones who brainwashed you. "Because I said so" is
not basis of proof for a point in an argument, debate, or discussion.
You said the FCC rules are Laws. Back it up. Show us anywhere, on the
web, at the library, anywhere, where this Congressional Act called the
Federal Communications Act was proposed to the House and Senate as a
Bill, and then passed up to the President to be signed into Law. Show us
that the FCA is anything more than a Congressional act.

Maybe this is pointless. Your mind is closed to opinions other than your
own. I can't convince you of the truth, so you go on thinking this
way.... Keep helping Dave or Debbie's pinko chinese commie SOB's degrade
this country into nothingness...
I for one will continue to support the FCA and the FCC Rules as they
are... Rules, to be enforced by the FCC.

Operation of radio transmitters not type accepted for the 11 meter CB
band on the 11 meter CB band MIGHT cause interference to radio and
television broadcast stations, and MIGHT disrupt radio communications
for emergency services and other licensed users.
It is possible to run a clean station... Just because a radio isn't type
accepted for the CB band does not automatically mean it's going to cause
interference when used on the CB band.

That's good, and you really shouldn't try to understand anything more
complicated than that.
Friggin' delta....
How can someone prove something does not exist? They cannot.
How can someone prove something does exist? By showing that it exists...
Lack of proof of the existance of something does not mean it does not
exist.
Therefore, if you say the FCC Rules are Laws, then the Bill that was
passed into Law must exist. Therefore, since it is impossible to prove
that something does not exist (that it is not a law), the burden of
proof must be on you to prove that it does exist (that the Rules are in
fact Laws).
Whether or not the Rules are Rules or Laws, it does not change their
ability to be enforced by the FCC or other enforcement agencies
empowered by the FCC to do such enforcement.
My point in all this, and thank you for proving it for me so eloquently,
is that whiny, sniveling, trollish, microphone lawyers will sit here and
debate the fine points of a useless argument ad nauseum to the detriment
of this newsgroup. It is counterproductive to debate such things, as it
matters not whether the rules are rules or laws; they are still
enforceable. You are too easily baited into this silliness. You are also
incorrect, but that's neither here nor there...

Just rediculous... If you can't do it with 50 watts, you should take a
serious look at your antenna system, and think about finding a way to make a
better RF radiator. Power isn't the answer to every "get out and touch
someone" problem.
Just my two cents.

Sideband,
I think your making two assumptions that are not true,
or very realistic.
1.Freebanding: The so-called 'freeband' frequencies are
already allocated. I know of several services that have
frequency allocations both above and below the regular
40 channels. They certainly don't account for all the
frequencies between CB and the next higher/lower commonly
recognized bands, but I certainly don't know all of the
services in those areas either.
2.Running Power: In the 'real world' very few of the 'CB'
amplifiers are 'clean'. There are all kinds of reasons,
from basic design, to the manner in which they are installed
and used. In most cases, the end-user is the biggest
problem, they just don't know enough to do it 'right'. (NOT
just CB'ers, but ANY end-user)
Those are just two reasons, I'm sure there are others. Like
it or not, CB'ers are still a part of society and have to conform
to society's rules, or face the consequences. If you want to
change the rules, then do so! But, do it 'right', other wise it's
like beating your head against a brick wall. You can do that if
your want to, but don't complain about the head-ache!

I drive a truck on a four hour route every night by choice, not by
necessity. The reasons for that are personal, and are far beyond the
scope of this newsgroup. I also run a computer networking and systems
consulting business, which accounts for the vast majority of my income.
You, of course, seem to have trouble with someone being able to do more
than one thing, and do them both well.

Sideband, perhaps the biggest flaw in your proposal was the question of how you
might compel hundreds of thousands of CBers who have historically flaunted and
ignored all CB rules - to all of a sudden respect "new expanded cb" rules which
limit them to 50 watts on 27.405 - 27.805.
Also IMHO freebanders don't want the freeband legalized. It would mean an influx
of yahoos from the lower 40 that they would then have to escape - by moving to
newer illegal frequencies.
Had a similar experience advocating a place for truckers. Maybe we can
comiserate over a brew someday.

I don't see truckers jumping to get on VHF any time soon. Unless the US
government ran one of those russian made woodpecks on 11m in all 4 times

Hey Twist, in what countries is operation on 27.555 permissible to cbers?
In what countries are linear amps permissible to cbers?
I agree with you almost 100%. The only problem is that people do not
behave responsibly towards others. It does result in some bogus laws,
but the intent is sound.
In both instances you have the opportunity to have a trial-de-novo,
where the FCC or IRS must prove it's allegations. Since the proof is
almost always irrefutable (failure to pay taxes, radio direction
finding), few ever take that opportunity.
But then again, you're probably not interested.

After looking into what you posted concerning acts of congress.. yes, it
seems that the FCA, an Act of congress, is in and of itself a Law.
The individual Rules outlined within that act are not Laws in and of

Perhaps therein is where the confusion lies?

I think it is in the definition of 'law'. A law, as per the
dictionary, is any rule, regulation, order, restriction, etc. made by
a government that is to be obeyed and can be enforced. A law does not
need to identify itself as such, 'law' is just a classification: I
have a Mannesmann Tally 906 sitting right beside me. There is nothing
on it that says it's a printer, but that doesn't mean it's -not- a
printer.
I think some people are giving more importance to the details of law
than they are to the actual intent. Please read again the definitions
I posted and try to see my point.
So there really is no such thing as an "illegal linear"... There really
is such a thing as the use of a linear not in accordance with the FCC
Rules. The amp isn't illegal. Possession of the amp isn't illegal. It's
use on CB is.

Again I agree, and I think so will most everyone else.
I like to give people the benefit of the doubt when they say 'illegal
amp', since the amp was probably manufactured, advertised, sold, and
used illegally. Since few people in this newsgroup ever make a topic
of discussion about collecting amps for the sake of mere possession,
(except maybe Landshark), it's probably a good guess that the amp
being discussed is probably being used illegally. So I consider the
term 'illegal amp' to mean an amp that is being or will be used
illegally.
Personally, I have a small collection of very old home-brew radio
stuff, and it includes a couple amps. Nothing I would plug in (for
safety's sake), but it's really a collection of home-brew engineering.
Ever see the loading coil wound around the transmitter tube? I'm not
kidding, someone actually mounted the tube (a T-55) -inside- a
vertical loading coil. Can't throw that one away...

I hear you here, as well...
I've got a Palomar 225 and an Elite 400. Why, do you ask? I'm not going
to be a Technician class operator forever. The only thing "holding me
back" is the Morse.. I've already passed the written General class
element. (Dyslexia sucks!) I've got them for use on 10 and 12 meters.
Is it illegal for me to own them? Nope. Are they connected to a power
source? Nope. Are they hooked to a radio? Nope. Just waiting for the day
when I can use them for what they were originally designed for.. 10
meter operation.
They're not illegal amps.
If I have a repair/optimization question, do you honestly think other
HAMs in their respective newsgroups will answer there? Probably not. I
wouldn't. There are quite a few EXCELLENT CB operators here in this
group, who do know how to repair & fix these things, and might be able
to fill in the holes when my own technical knowledge fails me.
There are legitimate reasons for owning and running these amps. There
are legitimate reasons for asking about repairs/optimizations here on
this newsgroup, as well.

You have another transceiever that covers 160-10? Or are you planning on using
your General on 10/12 meters only?

One problem. It's obvious you have never worked 10 or 12 meters. Amps are not
required on these bands. There's no fighting to "get down" on anyone or "plug
ears". Propagation is such that a regular 100W PEP works fantastic DX and you
can make great contacts on minimal power.
So why the CB amps?
