94 Chevy Suburban Built for CB Radio OBO - $15000 (Suwanee )

Date: 2012-07-30, 6:30PM EDT Reply to: r2njf-3165147908@sale.craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?]

Old style motor build by Borchardt in Wisconsin. 4 Bold Main 2 piece rear main seal Edelbrock cam and intake set Forged steel crank Purchased for 3500

2 3xc20000 tubes (rings installed by Econco) Originally built by Blue Gill Worked on by Wizard, myself, and Ghostrider RF deck re-done (cleaned up) Bottom of box rebuilt (tubes no longer lit by transformers) 3 original Peter Dahl transformers (new) Purchased for 14000

1 3cx3000 driver Originally build by Dave (was a converted 3 tube 3-500z) Worked on mainly by me (looks bad, but works well) 1 Original Peter Dahl transformer Too old to remember the cost

1 2-pill x force driver

6 320A Alternators purchased for 500 each

1ga color coded 3 phase wire purchased for 800

2 high current rectifiers (the one that runs the truck is fan cooled)

2 x force regulators

218 coax

1 5/8" line section

1 50kw element

2 30ua bird meters

Both amps are vented out in the back, so no heat stays in vehicle.

I have left out a some details, but I totaled what it cost me to purchase and set up the truck and stopped counting at 30k so I know I have at least that invested.

When I'm tuned out properly I can key just over 50kw and talk about 43kw or so without boost. I have never put boost on the alternators.

THIS EQUIPMENT IS FOR EXPORT USE ONLY!

I'm gonna say either a mobile pirate radio station or "Salvage 1" style private moon mission.

I thought you had to go full Ham to find crazy like this. FCC would probably like a word with him....

This would be my guess. 50K watts in a Suburban?

You wouldn't have to nuke your lunch, just set it on the dash and key the mike.

Dang.... That's a mindblowing amount of power for a CB radio.

I'm just going to put a solar panel on the roof of my Trooper. 6 alternators is overkill, IMHO.

I know a dude with a similar, but less extream mobile HAM radio setup in an F250 super-duty. He is a peculiar cat to say the least.

guy I worked with at a radio station was big into CB radios.. he will tell a story of the day he had an issue with one of those kids with 5000 watts of stereo power in their tiny car.

He powered up the CB and just opened the mic... and damn near fried the kids system
