Burner

No, not a cooking item

Looking to see if anyone has a CB amplifier they want to sell, nothing mad like a Bremi 300, just a basic small amp around 15/20w, seen some on fleabay, but a lot of dosh and far too big output.

Cheers

Not worth it buying an amp so small. Better off ensuring you have the best feeder and antenna that you can fit, make or buy.

Use CB for short range truck to truck on green lane events and use your uhf vhf for other stuff.

As Jim says do not bother, in the good old days of AM I had a 500W burner on my truck, made not a hapworth of difference other than if I stuck my hand out the window near the antenna I got an RF burn, Rick

I can pick you up a KL203 for about £40

I'm using one in my truck and putting 6w through the back of it see's me getting 60w out of the burner

as jim and rick have already said , i wouldn't bother ( its illegal anyway

) , much better to get a decent antenna with a high db gain

It will make a difference, Obviously only getting out but many people run a little more power these days
