 GET REAL!  If you notice, that post stated not once, BUT TWICE that that amp
was ILLEGAL for cb usage.  There are plenty of people, I'd bet, that still DX
alot on 10 meter.  Radio Shack sells a 10 meter mobile.  They don't ask if you'
a licensed operator.  They don't even WANT to see your ticket.  Just a warning
on the rig that you must have a license to transmit with this radio.

I really don't like flaming on a "for sale" board, but this is UNREAL!  Just
cool-off and leave it alone.
