I thought CB radio died out in the 1980s. I guess that's an AM set
(judging by the AM indicator on the photo). I recall many people used
AM sets with high-power amps, but they used to be illegal.

Is there anyone still around on CB?

There are more people around here on CB than there are on 2m ham radio which is usually dead 24/7.

I have adjusted the set now to UK frequencies and FM mode, but it is unusable at present as I need an external SWR calibrator - nothing is ever simple.

fear not, both the transceiver and the little 20W linier amplifier are
illegal for him to use. He's also posted it via Google Groups which
always passes your IP address in the header, which is like one of us
posting that we had just stolen a TV set from Currys and put our
address in the sig.

On the other hand, OFCOM doesn't have many recourses for this kind of
thing, but on the other other hand there's not much to do in the
kingdom of Kingston.

It all might have to come down anyway as the SWR is sky high. I am going to pick up a calibration meter from Maplins at 1000h and if that doesn't fix it, it may be due to the antenna coax being 10m long, in which case, I will have to move it closer and put it on the conservatory roof with a shorter cable instead.

All that needs is that fixing.

Can't be that. The most that can do is **** what gets transmitted.

in which case, I will have to move it closer and put it
on the conservatory roof with a shorter cable instead.

If you do, mount the ****er vertically.

If you actually had enough of a clue to have
a smartphone, you could use that to do that.

Was this due to the RF exposure?

I believe at the moment the use of fm only has been waived but the power
restrictions of 4 watts is still in place.
I bet nobody who uses it has any idea of the actual power being sent out.
