... don't WANT to get. There is growing up as in getting older and then there is acting grown up. From what I have heard on ch.6 it sounds far from being grown up.

actually, I think a large part of the ch 6 folks behavior is NOT "acting",.... they are duck pluckin real.

Exactly. They haven't grown up yet as in matured.

With my license I can run a lot more than 100 watts and be legal 1200 watts PEP to be more exact.

1200 watts? That sounds approximate. 1500 watts sounds more exact. My license allows me to run 2250 pep. Now if I only had an amp that would do that.

2.25 kw in Canada...curious if any country legally allows more than that?

I hears that! But you know, I never have the need run any additional power. I have three top notch Amateur radios and they get out just fine. Yaesu FT-890, Icom IC-746, and my newest Icom IC-7100. If I can hear them I can make contact. One operator in Maryland said my signal was so strong he could use it to charge his batteries. When conditions are good contacts are easy. No extra power required. I do have a Yaesu FT-1200 that I have never powered up.

Yes, 3 Kw... Somalia https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct...ia.htm&usg=AFQjCNHcMrt6Haba2hkmy1UcfYbdtP69NA

Yeah Somalia is the only country that I know of that has a higher power limit than we do. There may be more but I don't know of any. Bhutan is 2 Kw I know and I often hear that Italy and Japan have unlimited power but that is false. Italy has a limit of 500 watts (as if anyone abides by that) and Japan is 1 Kw.

I think that is for just one hand

I guess you either just DON'T get it or don't WANT to get. There is growing up as in getting older and then there is acting grown up. From what I have heard on ch.6 it sounds far from being grown up.

I don't get it? you're the one talking maturity on Children's Band.

sorry tallman, your license allows no such thing. check your forum section. CB, legal limit 12 watts.

Check your facts. I'm talking Ham radio. I have a General level license.
CB Radio requires no license or technical knowledge in the US.

US Amateur Transmitter Power Limits
At all times, transmitter power must be the minimum necessary to carry out the desired communications. Unless otherwise noted, the maximum power output is 1500 watts PEP. Novice/Technicians are limited to 200 watts PEP on HF bands. Geographical power restrictions apply to the 70 cm, 33 cm and 23 cm bands; see The FCC Rule Book for details.

Yes you are correct GOOD GOD WHAT WAS I THINKING!!

you can quote your ham regs all you want. this is the CB section not the ham section.

§95.410 (CB Rule 10) How much power may I use?

(a) Your CB station transmitter power output must not exceed the following values under any conditions:

AM (A3)—4 watts (carrier power) SSB—12 watts (peak envelope power)

(b) If you need more information about the power rule, see the technical rules in subpart E of part 95.

(c) Use of a transmitter which has carrier or peak envelope power in excess of that authorized voids your authority to operate the station.

nowhere does it say that your ham license entitles you to use more than 12 watts on 11 meter. not in the CB regs, nor in the ham regs you supplied.

you can run as much ERP as you want.

 

[space cowboy]

you can run as much ERP as you want.

no idea why you quoted me, I never disputed that, only that it was legal to run all the watts you want.
