Hams lol . I have many hobbies. Cb'ing is one of them. It is fun to keydown at shootouts, or to outpower a mud duck even at the base. Yes, FUN!!! Actually, why invest in any hobby if it isn't fun. Many Hams don't even consider themselves hobbiest. They take themselves too seriously. It is the same in my other hobbies. Street racing cars....why spend all that money? again FUN. Other car collectors, enthusiast etc hate drag racers, but to each his own. Its my money anyway.
I have never glowed in the dark. But was tuning the tubes on one of my rigs and could feel my body temperature rise. And my wife got to witness mice go into convulsions When I would hit the switch. Low swr, well grounded and not exceptionally high power.
They are supposedly testing an RF amplifier on the other end... first you see the S around 3.5 with the regular 5 to 10W, then power is jacked up to 400W (S9) then jacked up again around 2KW (S9+60) on CB..
I agree and I'm a CBer don't get my wrong I like a little extra power but come on. There radios are pushing all dirty watts and bleeding all over the bands.
I am a ham and don't mind this whole Cb big power thing at all. I am not so much of a snob that I need to knock someone elses hobby to feel like mine is betrter. BTW I also am a CBer since about 1972 so know a lot about them and amps. I can also say that apms on cb are fine with me since there is no real reason for them or the 11m band to be regulated anymore, or they need to change the name from CITIZENS band to something like The Governments band.
70KW = 93.8 hp. The wimpiest small block Chev V8 can still produce about 175 hp. Of course, the vehicle likely weighs in at 3 tons... I bet he doesn't try to transmit and pass at the same time!
Lol, Thats some Amp Setup! You just need to get a 100 foot mast on the roof and you'll be able to hear all the people that can hear you using all that power!
What's funny is that each S-unit at the receiver costs 6 dB more signal at the receiver. 1W = 30dBm. 10W = 40dBm. 100W = 50dBm. and 1,000W = 60dBm. The 10dB gain from 100W to 1,000W (or 1KW to 10KW) does not even result in 2 S-units increase at the receiver (12dB).
They obviously don't realise if you cannot hear the other station, you cannot work them. Pay more attention to the receive side, ie antenna SYSTEM But then, I suppose that the car's heater is rubbish and they need to keep their feet warm
@Aviator14 why does a ham need 1500? Why does a car need 300HP? Why does a car need to go faster than 75? Why do gun owners need auto's with 32 round clips? Why make a TV over say 32"'s? I think its human nature for bigger, better, faster, plus, many of us like to take our toys to the limit and see how far we can go with it. Then again, it might be just plain fun.
Here is the BIG down side of running all that BIG power yes they can hear you just fine and your pining there needle and blowing smoke and that that junk but what about hearing them if your running big power and there just running 5 watts what use is it ?
What I'm wondering is...what kind of antenna can you mount on a car that can absorb all that power? It would be interesting to see the antenna -- I didn't see one in the video?
The antennas on my mom's truck we're rated for 10k each. Infact the manufacturer had a on going challenge. If you could burn them up by just transmitting through them they would pay you a cash prize.
Slot cars. I have an awesome HO 1/64 scale 4 lane setup. However, the larger scalers look down on the smaller scalers. 1/32 looks down on 1/64 and 1/24 looks down on all, just like Hams look down on CB'ers. Its the same on other hobbies too. I just look and laugh, enjoy life.Most hams now can barely wire a mic, no less build an amp, especially a legal limit plus. These same hams said it was theoretically impossible to output 2kw in a car 20 years ago while CBer's where building 20kw hams? ROFL
not trying to troll, but 2 3cx3000 driven by 2 3-500z's? Way to much drive. Plus, the 3-500z box would need to be driven too. I know that I don't have that kind of power, and I hate it when ducks make stupid comments on what I do....... but I would use a (2) 4cx250B box for a driver.
Yeah exactly nightmare. Microwave ourselves with use of 27Mhz. The newest craze low frequency microwaves. Self proclaimed smart people often sound rather dumb.
You can't run that sort of power legally on amateur radio either. He might as well stick with what he's doing. Having said that, his driver is too big for his whopping final. He probably only wants a maximum of 250 Watts drive
Max Hand RF is not ionising radiation. It's a lot of power, but that doesn't changes physics. The energy itself is actually low energy photons, they don't pack enough energy to damage DNA, all this power just really means he's putting out a lot more, kind of like the difference between a drinking straw (your average squawk box) and a breach in the Hoover dam (his setup)
I know for a fact that those amps are rated for AB2 class output.Ham operators do not have ANY BODY building amps with final output stages this clean.I have played with Commander,Henry,Alpha PA.NONE OF THESE have that rating!!.
You could by a whole-lota real Ham radio gear for the money spent on this crap. And with no-code Ham licensing now, you don't need to be much smarter than a five year-old to earn one and have a lot-more interesting options. You can run 1500 watts out (if you really want to, or need to) and talk all over the globe almost any day, and operate numerous bands and modes. You can also roll your-own if that's your thing. Who-knows, you may even attract better women, but that's no guarantee.

when you walk around at night and you glow in the dark,take 2 of these and call me in the morning

jokerman cb electronics
thats so so cool love it
crook then,,,crook now

That's 747's a.c. mobile setup. I've seen it hit 70kw on a bird 43. The paint on top the suburban started cracking and peeling up. It's no joke.
1 horsepower = 746W. How many horsepower does his engine have again?
70KW = 93.8 hp. The wimpiest small block Chev V8 can still produce about 175 hp. Of course, the vehicle likely weighs in at 3 tons... I bet he doesn't try to transmit and pass at the same time!
So his amplifier is 100% efficient? I don't buy it.
Lol, Thats some Amp Setup! You just need to get a 100 foot mast on the roof and you'll be able to hear all the people that can hear you using all that power!
see that is how cb radio is dun on tha superbowl channel yours trully 504 wishing you a happy 4th of juliy

Furthermore, if he yells at someone across the globe, he probably won't hear a reply as the other station is too weak...
They obviously don't realise if you cannot hear the other station, you cannot work them.
Pay more attention to the receive side, ie antenna SYSTEM
But then, I suppose that the car's heater is rubbish and they need to keep their feet warm
Absolutely fantastic, love it

I used to ×ork in radio and RF feild around those beams will fuck you off.
i miss 1992
Dave made is such a good name.
Here is the BIG down side of running all that BIG power yes they can hear you just fine and your pining there needle and blowing smoke and that that junk but what about hearing them if your running big power and there just running 5 watts what use is it ?
He clearly as an angry Mrs and is used to speaking to himself and not being heard

skin effect at high frequencys it only.flows over the surface of a.conductor chances of a melt down are.lower than at low frequencys

At 51-53 seconds in the video the two antennas on top of the truck

Guy need a old soviet atomic station on tank chassis.

Would be better although im driving 6 500-zs with a 98vhp and seeing 6kw
Awesome! Mega Power!!
Yeah exactly nightmare. Microwave ourselves with use of 27Mhz. The newest craze low frequency microwaves. Self proclaimed smart people often sound rather dumb.
Those tooobs are not sturdy for mobile service. Be sure filament is off when you're driving.
@skipshooter782342 no doubt! that is gotta be one of the most impressive setups I've seen yet! Glowing nuts help you find the hole
Fantastic
Was dude talking about Satellite getting killed?
love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I must be fried. I couldn't understand what anyone was saying.
Now that's some extreme engineering!!!! how may pills you feeding?!
@sbeer6er In What mode? FM or SSB?
Very nice set up I hope u have ,but it wont do any good, When the sunspot cycle is at a low
how many dynamos are there ??
@glenwoofit radio check, everyone from 500 miles saying it's working.
@tramdr exactly,life is too short to be mad and sad
He probably can't even use all of that stuff, truck probably dies when he keys up. :D
Very nice setup but, dam dude, it's ILLEGAL!! Get yourself a ham license!!
You can't run that sort of power legally on amateur radio either. He might as well stick with what he's doing. Having said that, his driver is too big for his whopping final. He probably only wants a maximum of 250 Watts drive
Thanks Karen
Sad Ham
That there hillbilly superbowl
I'm going to say that he talks a little further than "just down the the road apiece"!!!!
Thomas Pigg he can be heard in central Asia, and all over the Western hemisphere.
would have been more efficent extra alternator extra batteries and.an.inferverter
That's not how efficiency works.
The alternators are supplying ac power directly.
With batteries and an inverter you are building in energy losses.
Right on!
OMG
i need that to drive my two pill
What pills are they? Paracetamol?
what is that new cook stove
holy tin foil hat to save your brain!!! thats a crap load of wattage!!!
so mw is the same?? hahahahaha
I hope he does not plan on having any kids they might come out with a third eye from all that RF exposer.....Terrible waste of radio .......

All you hamy are the same cry cry
It's a hobby
Breaker one 9!!!!!!

to microwave yourselves?
@aroderick1955 Wonderful grammar, Einstein.
@snowbird29803 you can't get women with Amateur radio. You can only get men with it. That's a guarantee.
TOM PIPPS . FOAM - BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA USA . HI HELLO . &
Hah, pretty much
google440cbshop,,,,custom built amps an more ,,,,exit280 great prices an more
Oh yeah, Davemade sucks. That's why used ones sell for as much as any of the copy cats new. Tool.
whats the point of this?
overkill?
What a waste .
i bet every time you key the mic.... you lose 4 mins off your life.......
