When I was running a truck shop, a local trucker brought me a "Skipper 600" (600 watt) linear amplifier to install for his CB radio. The FCC power limit is 5 watts, BTW! I used #1 welder cable to wire the power to the linear, and he took off from central California to New York on a turnaround trip. Two weeks later, he's back, saying "The radio talks fine, but my headlights go dim every time I key the mike!" Of course- - - -because the linear was drawing 75 amps, and he had a 60-amp alternator on it! I put a 200-amp brushless alternator on, and solved his problems!

And
that's why my TV reception went flatline and my garage door opened every time that truck came down the freeway through Northern Nevada-it was YOUR FAULT!!
