Best Answer

In addition to garden variety AM (double sideband, full carrier), Single Sideband may be used on CB, with full, reduced, or suppressed carrier.

The purpose of these variations is to reduce interference on the CB channels, which have been jam-packed since the the 27 MHz Citizens Band was created almost 60 years ago.

No. The only emission mode allowed to CB is AM voice.

How does a linear for a cb radio work?

Transmitting over four watts on a CB radio is actually illegal, thus, using a linear amp on a CB is illegal, as well. A linear amp attached to a radio (for argument's sake, we'll assume it's on a type of radio on which the application is legal) simply amplifies the power output. The radio transmits into the amp, the amp amplifies the signal, and transmits it to the antenna.
