It would seem that the Zed is now the place to sell your CB ampifier.

Get in touch with the moderator of that forum and report the offending item...

If you looked at the picture it is listed as a Ham Amplifer. Some one inported it into this country. The specs say Europe only.

Most RM italy amps are CB amps.

The amp does have base bias so it may be linear, has 10w input max which will work with an 817. It should operate on 20M - 10M and perhaps 40M and 80M, depending on if there is enough ferrite in the input/output broad band transformers. The preamps in all "linears" are junk.

It seems priced high for the (abt 100W+) power out. You could buy a used 100 watt HF transceiver for that much.

I removed the ad. This is a "base station" CB amplifier.

Your picking on an op that is not even in the US... Why worry about him when he does NOT fall under OUR FCC rules? If he sells to someone outside of the US, its not even our concern, is it?

I could care less what he sells, but I'm pretty sure it qualifies as advertising and is not allowed.

Fred set the rules, and the rules are no cb amps.

FCC rules don't apply here. Only Fred's.

It is not legal to sell commercially made amplifiers, Not FCC type accepted, for use on 10 meters. The only legal ones I know of are Home brew Amateur amplifiers or amplifiers commercially made where you add 10 meters to them for 10 meter use. There are also old amplifiers that came with 10 meters in them before the laws changed. The FCC does not allow manufactures to sell new amplifiers with 10 meters working at the time of sale. So all of these amplifiers you see on ebay ect. that say Ham amplifier for 10 meters, and are newer, are illegal.

I also don`t believe that the Zed is allowed to help sell them for the seller either.

I am not trying to contradict this statement, but where are these rules posted now. They used to be at the top of the classified page, but now I am not able to find them. How is someone new to the QRZ Forum board supposed to know what the rules are if they cannot read them?
I am just trying to find some answers; I am not saying that selling Illegal equipment is ok.

Thanks,

Over a year ago the FCC modified the rules concerning amplifiers that were able to amplify signals in the 25 MHz to 35 MHz range. It is now legal to sell commercially built amplifiers (after getting certification) that are capable of working in the 12 meter and 10 meter bands. However, those amplifiers cannot be capable of amplifying signals in the 26.0 MHz to 28.0 MHz range (basically they must have traps installed if the 10 meter band is included).

Of course it has always been legal to sell amplifiers that were built before the original ban for the 25 MHz to 35 MHz range and for amplifiers to be sold that had been modified by licensed amateur radio operators which included the 10 meter band. Also, home brew and even amplifiers that were originally illegally produced for the "CB" and "Freeband" market could be modified for use by a licensed amateur radio operator and therefore could be sold on an individual basis or as used by a commercial dealer that was in the business of selling to licensed amateur radio operators.
