Concerning _Antenna_, Bill Cheek said to Troy H. Cheek in SCANRADIO:
 TC>> This, I've been afraid to try.  Oh, I've keyed up the mike
 BC> accidentally a
 TC>> time or two, but have never actually transmitted.
 BC> 
 BC> Keying the mic is......"transmitting".  Very much so.   :-)
But the difference in power between deadkeying and yelling into your 
amplified mic?  Looks like a lot when watching the meter while other people 
are talking.
 BC> Otherwise, the input transformer and probably the preamplifier
 BC> transistor are likely to blow.
Which is my fear, I guess.  An otherwise perfectly good piece of equipment 
that happens to be deaf.
 BC> It is a little different when the transmitter is not connected to the
 BC> receiver. 4-watts out of the antenna, spread out over the spherical
 BC> wavefront means only a few milliwatts into the receiver, even if the
 BC> two are fairly close.
Pretty much what I figured, though I was going intuitively without using 
math.  I figure a CB antenna on one side of the trunk and a scanner antenna 
on the other ought to be safe enough, especially considering how wide my car 
is.  If not, well, I think everything is still under warranty.  :-)
