I have to do an engineering and design project for school nest semester. Basiclly I have to build something. I was wondering if anyone could direct me to some plans for a 10/11 meter or 2 meter amp. I don't care if they are free or cost some money.
Thanks

go to cb city international's website.
i dont know the url, but its something like cbcintl.com

they are owned by a man named lou franklin, and the amp plans they sell are good quality.
they also sell all kinds of books and kits.

all you are doing is adding the jumper cable from radio to amp-
use a piece of rg58 coax, keep as short as possible, keep shield as close to end near center conductor as possible.
1- @ so239 socket on rear of radio, remove wires inside & replace with rg58 going to INPUT side of amp where ITS so239 was.
2- then take another piece of rg58 & go from where amps s0239 output WAS & connect that to radio's so239.
3- double check you went to right places.
4- double check again!
5- apply power & check swr's.
6- get a small/high cfm computer fan or 2, drill or cut cooling holes in radio case & mount fans(unfortunately only room on OUTSIDE of radio)in pull/pull or push/pull configuration to remove a LOT of heat. increase wire guage on fans & ALL should go directly to power source. if using as a base, make sure power supply is capable of running fans. you'd be surprised how much 2 of 'em can draw.

no problem....it's a lot of hassle for 'hiding' an amp, but a couple people i know work for a company that only allows 'stock, legal' CB's, no extras. & amp-under-the-radio types(like 95t) won't fit.
