There are different sizes and configurations. Typically a 3 pill is actually 1 pill driving into 2 pills.

I used to push 20 volts into my 3 pill. It's been a while but I think I was getting about 1,200 - 1,500 peak watts.

Man I wouldn't even remember where to set my dead key now, I think I used to have it at 100 or 150. The Digital Bird meter is nice. The one I had would read peak and RMS watts, it also had an alarm if you SWR's were too high. The top of my rear Antenna was at 14' 8" Everyone else dodges potholes I was avoiding tree branches and traffic lights

You are a CB tag nut's dream!

I always had the SUV. I still remember my first time playing. I had my big White Ramcharger, thats why everyone called me Moby. We played all night and I had so much fun. Then I learned it's even more fun when you get a co-pilot... Sitting in a hiding spot alone gets boring but if you have someone to help make the time pass by

I was into it back in the 70's...."KSZ-8728 Bounty Hunter" here....I had them in my car and would take it out and put it in my boat when out on the water...Had quick connects...Used it while commuting to DC every day...Had more fun with that thing....CB back then is like a cell now...Couldn't do without it...

Breeeeeeeeeeeak 10 You got the KSZ8728 Bounty Hunter lookin for the Snap Dragon...How bout ya Snap ya out there? Back?

well I am certainly looking forward to putting a new rig back in this new truck. I don't think I'm gonna get back into doing repairs/mod/tricks like I used to for everybody, but, I am definitely looking forward to getting back on the air and seeing who I can dig up.

BUT, when I get this new radio, you know the first thing I'm gonna do it crack the case and fire up my old Weller unit and have at it. I'm already getting the parts ready for the talk back and looking for the RX amp, I of course can not resist the idea of led RX/TX meter lights and a new colored channel display and I got me a big old nasty ugly dual coil antenna coming... I still have racks of parts drawers full of resisters, caps, diodes, you name it, I got 50 of them, I never threw much away from the "radio doctor" days, but, with all these new inventions, I'll have to make a few orders.

However, I know what's gonna happen as soon as my name gets back on the airwaves, I'm gonna start hearing, "Hey Dodgem, you still working on radios?"

LOL It's coming, trust me.
