This home brew amp put out 3KW the first time it was fired up. After tuning and a few mods it eventually did 5KW on the 11 meter CB band. It was ...

I have a Uniden pc68xl cb that I am going to put in my car. I want to get a linear/amplifier to boost the power. Is it possible to put one on this cb if so what is my best choice?

any amp you choose will be a good one. the thing that you have to know is what you have and willing to spend.....there are many makes and models of amps and it also depends on how many watts you are wanting to use. another thing you have to take into consideration is how many amps your car alternator is. look up the amps and choose they all are good....just try to stay away from used equipment if it is possible.....73s

What is considered powerful and are they hard to hook up?

actually i believe the FCC law says 4 watts. no they are not hard to hook up. i would say 500 to 1000 is more than sufficient. keep in mind that a good antenna setup is very important especially when you bump up the juice.

Yes, it is illegal.... in Canada as well as the USA.
That's all you really need to know.
