Of course junk band amps are a big issue for other reasons but I'm curious how an A99 or Imax 2k cause problems in themselves. That is if the antenna is tuned correctly and a relatively close match SWR wise. How is the 100 watts from my dipole less likely to saturate someones cheap home phone that 100 watts radiating from a resonant A99? I think it the strength of the RF field and not the radiating antenna causing the problems.

Seems that more often than not cheapo electronics that have no shielding or immunity to even low legal CB levels of RF are usually to blame.
