[Hallicrafters] Amplifiers on 27 mc

[Jim Tripp]

However, it is not illegal to sell a CB antenna "capable of 1000
watts" apparently.  I was at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at
Vegas a couple of years ago and Hygain had CB antennas on display with
the claim that they could handle "1000 watts".  I asked the salesman
why they would do that since CB is limited to 5 watts. His reply was
"we just sell the antennas, we have no control over how they use
them"!!!!!!  

I think the same is true of Linear Amplifiers that claim frequency up
to 30 Mhz. I don't think they have a notch at 27 Mhz to block usage on
CB frequencies....but I may be wrong!

YES!  It is illegal to use, operate, construct, or sell any device
capable
of increasing the output power of a transceiver, operated on 27 mHz,
or to
willingly or knowingly condone the use, operation, construction, or
sale of
such equipment.  Punishable as a Federal offense; the court may levy
fines
and / or imprisonment as the merits of the case, determine.
