Have you ever stopped to wonder why they're not available to buy in stores ?

Why Radio Shack and Best Buy don't sell them, and not even Cobra makes them ?

Why one costs a fortune if you can find a guy in the bar who's willing to sell you one ?

Why you never see them advertised anywhere ?

That's right . . . selling them is illegal, because using them is illegal.

If you were to read up on it and get a ham operator's license, you'd know how to build

a high-power linear, but you wouldn't want it anymore.

What is a cb linear amp?

A CB linear amp, or Citizens Band linear amplifier, is a device used to boost the power output of a CB radio, enhancing its transmission range and clarity. These amplifiers can increase the radio's power output beyond the legal limit of 4 watts for AM and 12 watts for SSB, potentially leading to illegal operation. Users often employ CB linear amps to improve communication over long distances or in challenging conditions, but they must be aware of local regulations regarding amplification to avoid fines or penalties.


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.

How do you build a cb radio?

There's a simple, direct, short answer to that question: A CB operator is not legally allowed to operate a CB radio that is home-built, modified, adjusted, or tinkered with in any way. Only equipment in its factory- direct condition. And I would add: Most especially anybody whose expertise is at the stage where he could ask a question like that.
