"I'm going to suggest that pressure be put on Ebay to have the seller put the
FCC ID number on all auctions........"
Roger,
I think there are enough regulations in our lives without getting into a CB
amp, ebay mess that would have to deal with homebrew amps, old amps, non hams
selling amps for an estate sale etc.... Many hams that have been in the hobby
for a while probably know a CB'er and for those who don't, you can go to a
hamfest and stand around the sale table where CB's are sold and talk to the
potential customers. You will get a lot of startling information about CB amps
and it is clear from my information gathering that ebay is not the place where
the real CB'ers buy amps. In addition, there are existing laws against the use
of CB amps so instead of requiring FCC ID's or FCC licensed sellers on ebay,
the CB elimination effort should be directed at enforcing the existing laws.
