can you run or use a linear amplifier on a cb radio if you have your amateur operator. license for ham radio?

Answer 1

A licensed amateur operator can modify equipment originally intended for use on other bands - for example war surplus military gear - for use on the ham bands, however CB channels are not part of the ham bands. All equipment operated on the CB channels must be government approved, and the FCC has never approved any external amplification device - "linear amplifier" for use in this band. A ham that tries this will not only get the equipment confiscated, but will lose his amateur radio privilage as well.

Answer 2

Absolutely not! An amateur license only gives you operating priveleges in the amateur radio service. CB is an entirely different service where an amateur license has no meaning.

Amplifiers are not legal on CB under any conditions.. no way.. no how.
