I suppose but we know how well people actually listen. LOL I still see zero practical use for this except to stir up crap.All I would have to do is let them know what channel to go to.

If I had one, I would use it responsibly. And I understand everyone's concerns, I wouldn't want 40 channels locked down either. If not for the risk of mayhem, it could be a benefit. People don't monitor 9 and locals probably won't be on 19. But in a time of crisis where the cell phone has no signal, increasing the chances of making contact by 39 could pay off. If there were any locals on any channel, they might hear it. But I can only say what I would do if I had it.I suppose but we know how well people actually listen.

Unless of course a whole bunch of other CB'ers in the same area also have the same device and use it for the same "responsible" purpose in an emergency.increasing the chances of making contact by 39 could pay off.
I don't think it would work like you think. A legal CB @ 4 watts carrier ÷ by 40 channels is only 1/10th of a watt carrier per channel. Even a hot export @ 20 watts carrier ÷ by 40 channels is only 1/2 watt per channel. This isn't going to help call anyone to your aid.If I had one, I would use it responsibly.

It seems it's possible to run an amp with some types of these things. If you go back and see my post number 4 in this thread, I detail a scenario I dealt with personally where a station in California wiped out most of the band here for nearly an hour with distorted rock music every 10 KHz.I don't think it would work like you think.

Unfortunately this thing with an amp is an option...It seems it's possible to run an amp with some types of these things.

We also had a station that 399 referenced who was playing hip-hop on multiple channels. That station came in as strong as S9 between channels 34 and 39
What if everyone else all had an emergency at the same time? What if everyone else didn't?Unless of course a whole bunch of other CB'ers in the same area also have the same device and use it for the same "responsible" purpose in an emergency.
Suddenly it isn't very useful anymore because all 40 channels will have multiple stations all calling any other station, creating a ton of noise and interference, and rendering any benefit null and void.
That's a mighty thin line there............His message doesn't seem to indicate intent to murder the hobby, just showing the ability to do so.
For emergencies only, like mars modding an hf rig.
Not the case, these things work on receive equally well. Got an Oz version of this thing in my GE cybernet, if I cop a lot of crackle splatter from another channel I flick the mod on and they come thru clearly. I then often ask what channel they are on if I want to keep talking to them. They tell me and I go to that channel, turn the mod back off, and converse with them in the normal way. Loz!Useless for that unless you scan the channels after every call since they can hear you on every channel but you can only hear them on ONE channel.
