My goodness... you're a real rocket scientist from my perspective as a non-engineer type "bean counter" turned country prepper. New to CB and just licensed HAM. I'm getting a 980SSB next week along with my mobile HAM gear. This blows me away. Internal amp? Home-made Channel King board? Sign me up! Can I send you a unit to trick out? Schedule is open to yours whether next week or next year - with whatever the options are of the day. I'd be in heaven having a good time having a tricked out unit to explore over time. From another perspective as it moves through frequency, it presents (from what I know) antenna/tuning challenges I'd have to get on top of in my learning journey as a new operator. Fun.

Id really like to get one of these for my 980 old version with the amp in it. Id much rather push a button than flip a switch on the side of the radio to turn on the amp. I even have a second new version 980 I can donate to you. That channel King board is everything I ever wanted in the 980. I am glad that at least it exists somewhere.

I started my shop in 1994 & it’s name is mikes radio repair also. My business cards are somewhere but I’m laying in bed now. The channel 22 guys would call me early around 3am because they blew a transistor in a Dave made 16 transistor the last time , so the CB stuff had to stop. I only work on ham operators equipment now. They can read a clock. Take care, KG4ENZ Mike.

I found an interesting technical regulation while looking for when the FCC legalized skip (I've got mixed feelings about that one). Section 95.987 (c) specifies final amplifier component power dissipation limits. 10 watts for solid state devices. It's sort of a self-correction solution for golden screwdriver adjustments. Crank up the power and eventually fry the final device.

Can't tell if the op is being a dick or a bigger dick. Since KZbin advertising revenue from a top 100 KZbin channel isn't anywhere near enough to pay the bills, a KZbinr needs to have alternative sources of income and some have sponsorship, and some use Patron and some idea combination. No revenue means no channel. If you have an issue about a channel or content providers trying to keep the lights on and food on the table, do something about it, eg start your own patron clone, and then you can decide who to support. Don't boycott channels because of your personal problems. It's hardly fair. If you have issues with how patron operate because they have closed accounts of people with questionable morals or standards, then you have to accept that they have done so to appeal to a greater body then themselves.
