[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3300924, member: 43724"] Well, I researched it, as I knew it was 5 watts back then, and I found out I was right.... and wrong. It was 5 watts input to the final amplifier stage, which is equal to 4 watts at the coax connection. I honestly never measured my radio but had it peaked and tuned by a guy in Moore than ran a shop off of Main St. I think his name was Mike, but not 100% on it. However, I knew my radio was legal. The modulation was peaked out and I ran a Cobra mod mike which added 10 dB more modulation. The radio was nothing special, just a Realistic TRC-421A 40 channel. But from Moore I could talk to Yukon and south side of Norman when I had my 103" steel whip. We played it about the same, except we gave a clue right off the bat. We also had to key up at least once every 2-3 minutes. Our rules were simple: No residential areas (including apartments, not that there were many apartments back then), no damaging private property including littering, and no arguing if someone asked you to leave. We had a lot of fun with it though. And woe to the person that was caught breaking any of those rules. [/QUOTE]
