I was wondering about the performance of linears on CB. Someone told
me that the first 4-20 watts will go a long way, but the higher you go
the less range per watt you are going to get. Is there any truth to
this?

When I was in high school I had a 100 watt linear that I purchased for
$100 (at the time the accepted price was $1 per watt). I got some damn
good performance out of it (could take out anyone else in the high
school parking lot), but of course it didn't extend my range 100
times. 

Is there a way to calculate the added local range with additional
power? I would assume that the added range would go down
exponentially.

As for you goodys that want to flame me, I was and always will be very
responsible on two-way radio. I never walked on anybody intentionally,
played musi or cussed. There were, however, way too manyy people who
did these things so myself and friends would peak our radios and run
power _when necessary_. If you have problems with that I suggest you
get out your snoop loop and take care of the problem personally...My
experience is that the FCC could care less as long as you aren't
causing any interference with other communications (ie telephones and
TV's).

My physics teacher was kind enough to loan me an SWR meter to calibrate my
CB, but I'm not quite sure how to use it (i.e. No instructions were provided).
 
There's an indicator showing the percentage of power reflected into the system
as well as a field strength meter.  There's also two connectors (both female)
that will mate with a CB antenna lead.
 
I thought that the SWR would be wired into the ckt. between the antenna and the
CB itself, but as the leads on the meter are both female, and the leads on
the antenna is male, while the lead on the CB is female, I can't make such
a connection....Do I need an adapter of some type, or is there another way
to do this?  Thanx for the assist...

A short piece of coax with male connectors on both ends should do the
trick... That's how pre-packed coax is usually done up, so you shouldn't
have too much trouble finding what you need...

A few months ago I stopped in at a Saturn dealership just to take a look at
this new car line.  The salesman gave me a brochure on the Saturn that claimed
that they use a "space-cage" (something like that) design, one of whose
benefits is supposed to be protection of the occupants from injury in a
rollover accident.  As I remember it, there was even a story about a bunch of
teens who ran off the road at high speed and rolled over and walked away from
the accident.  Does anyone know whether this is hype or has Saturn really
engineered in more safety in this area the average American car, and maybe
even caught up a bit with those model European cars?

Most ?

You could almost buy two RX-7's for the price of an M5, and each one will
peel the paint right off the M5. Faster acceleration, better brakes, better
handling. Same for a new Corvette LT-1, same for a 300zx twin turbo, same
for a Stealth/3000GT. 

The M5's of the mid-late 80's were among the faster cars of their day, but
comparing a new M5 to any of the recent generation of super-sports cars is
a little far-fetched. The new 5-series body is just too heavy.

Randy,
I had a 1990 thunderbird SC fully load, Leather, JBL stereo, Sun Roof, ECT...
I had mine almost 2 years.
As far as I know there were 2 recalls:
1. Front Rotors- The car began to vibrate when braking, and was impossible
    to keep aligned. After having the front rotors replace it was OK for as while 
    but it came back.  

2. Wind Shield wipers- the wiper arms would fall off during high wind, if
    you were using them on high. (High wind- 80mph or car speed)

The JBL stereo was a peice of junk it sounded real nice but the left channel
 kept going in and out until finaly it was gone perminatly.
(of course it was after the 12 month warrenty).
I also have the JBL system in my Explorer the right channel goes out.
I'm not to happy with the JBL system, its been in service 4 times in 6 months

The car was kind of noisy but it was very comfortible.

The Tires are very soft and wear down quickly I put on a new set a 19K.
 A friend got 15K out of his Goodyears. (He drives pretty hard).
 New tires in CA. run $700.00 (best price I could find for the same tires that 
came on the car, Goodyear +4s VR speed raited)

A couple of nice features were if you get the leather package, the back seats 
fold down 60/40 split so you can stow long items.

The information center on the dash (above the air vents) is a nice reminder to 
check the fluid levels, there more than just an ediot light, it tells you before 
its to late!

If you get the CD player you also get a cassette deck, I liked it because I didn't
have to toss out all my old cass.

But besides all of the above, you will not find a rear wheel drive car in its class
with all the options for under 25K, that gets up and moves and looks cool to. 

Cheverolet- all front wheel drive (Lumina, Pontiac Grand Prix, Olds Cutless).
Chyrsler- ?  all front wheel drive!
Japanies- Acura Legend front wheel drive and about 13k more.

Good luck I hope you have better luck than I did, even though it wasn't all that bad.
Tim.

About 2 months back. I wrote to GM's new President, John F. (Jack) Smith,
suggesting (sort of tongue in cheek), that he get a workstation and
follow this group. Now I did not expect he would, but someone in
GM's Customer Service would (or should).

Well, to make a long story short, GM Customer Service wrote to me,
I wrote back, they called, and we resolved a problem we had with
Florence's 1978 Monte Carlo in a very satisfactory manner (at
least from our point of view, can't speak for GM).

What did please me was the manner in which the whole thing
was conducted. It was very pleasant, not the cold, aloof,
attitude I had run across with my Buick. Speaking of that
Buick, it dawned on me that I put 140,000 miles on the
original engine (231 V6) and it was only taking a quart
in about 900 - 1000 miles, not too shabby considering
the speeds I drive at. I guess that is the same basic
block as the 3300 V6 they have today.

Well, this convinces me that GM has fixed what I always
thought was their real problem, and J.D.Powers seems to
be saying the quality is there, so look out Nissan, Toyota,
Honda, et. al. If you get what you think is a raw deal
from a GM dealer (or any dealer), let the head office know
about it. Put yourself in their shoes - why would they
want to have their customers turned-off. Better to get
rid of the dealer.

There is a new wind blowing through the halls of GM,
but they call this one Jack, not Mariah :-). I wish them
all the luck in the world.

Bob.

fuel injection (like many automotive features) came from the aviation

and here is another examples:

(and there were motors with even more valves per cylinder even earlier)

Since so many people are asking about rebates on this car and that,

There is a non-profit consumer organization called the Consumer's Checkbook
that tracks auto rebates of all kinds.  Their number is (202)783-3001.
Call them and ask for auto rebates.  They will give you up to date info
on any model you are interested in.

San Jose Mercury News publishes rebate information every Friday for a particular

A "typical" AC system (from the many our family has had) will lose it's

I've had two blowouts on northbound I-5 near Los Banos.  Both were at

No loss of control and no incidents.  I just pulled over and changed the tire.
