    Truckers do not need high power. CB is for local communication of just a few miles. High power will result in broadcasting over a wide area, blocking the legal radios of many law abiding truckers. Not only that, but you won’t be able to receive those further away.

    Mics are weighted because it makes them easier/more comfortable to use. When you're using a mic that's really lightweight the cord has no problem pulling it back out of your hand. They do not add weight because they're trying to be "fraudulent", they add it to make the mic more controllable and pleasurable to use.

    Speaking as a licenced Radio Ham (Amateur Radio) here in the UK....I would recommend keeping the "Overs"/"Ragchews" Short as that Radio and it's "Heat Sink" which are the Fins on the rear are Not designed for anything more than about 30 watts or so. It Will get Very Hot quickly to the point of not being able to touch the rear of the unit and might start shutting the power down or even shutting the radio off if it has a Protection circuit fitted. it will also take a very long time to cool down too as there are no cooling fans in it. You could fit a large "Computer/PC Fan" inside the cubby where the CB is fitted, it would be possibly a 12 volt unit but check first, that should help with cooling so long as the Fan is Blowing onto the radio. You really don't need anywhere close to 250 watts, it's all sales speak unless you want to "work the World" with a huge directional Yagi antenna!. In a few years time (4-5) you will be able too on the 11 Metre 27mhz band with your Truck antenna possibly when the current "Sunspot Cycle" starts lifting out of it's 11 Year Doldrums cycle (about midway at the moment). Keep the power output down to a sensible output, say up to 30 watts or less (my Ham radio gear, Yaesu and Kenwood transceivers are only around 25 watts AM and 100 watts SSB!. Just be sensible on its output or it won't last long?, bigger antenna's are the way to go but not possible on a Truck at that height due to tree limbs catching or similar. love what you are doing to the old girl, all Cabovers here in the UK and Europe at 52ft overall length (trailer included!) but we have around 3ft taller height limit than you at around 16'6'' or more?. Keep safe and keep the video's coming.

    It's a good thing the FCC doesn't have the time or manpower to check CB radios anymore, 4 watts is the maximum legal output for class D, AM communications. If you want more, you need to go SSB (Single Side Band), then you can generally, depending on the radio, transmit up to 12 watts. Yeah yeah, I know, I have a Texas Star 500 afterburner pumped into 4 102" whips on and 8'X8' grid, which (if you do the math) with a standard 4watt transmitter, will generate a 1200 watt omnidirectional signal. So you can do the math and understand why I talk around the world on SSB. And Amber: BC Mamma / Brunette Bombshell / TooShy (since she's shy on camera)

    I know this will probably anger some folks, but here goes. 1) There's no way that radio is putting out a clean 200W. I would like to see that radio put on a spectrum analyzer, it's probably pumping out a nasty amount of harmonics. Further, talking into the mic while watching the scope isn't proof that your modulation is clean. I'd like to see a signal generator hooked up to that radio so we can get a good view of the modulated carrier, I'll bet it's horribly over-modulated. 2) I know CB is meant to be line-of-sight, and in that case mirror mounts are not a horrible option. However, and I don't know how that cab is constructed, but if it's made of metal and not fiberglass, that antenna would be more efficient if it were mounted smack in the center of the roof. Preferably, you'd drill a hole in the roof and mount it there. This would provide an RF ground plane and, if done correctly, would also provide a good DC ground. Take-away notes: if your antenna is efficient and mounted correctly, there should be no need for more than 4 watts for local communication. You're talking to people that are down the road a couple of miles, not in another country. If you really want to break the law and run over the FCC allowed 4 watts, keep your screwdriver out of the radio and run an amplifier. At least then you won't be splattering all over the 11 meter spectrum.
