main amplifier board to provide up to 300 watts output with as little as 4 watts input. In
addition, a separate RF actuated relay board is utilized to switch back and forth from
transmit to receive. Although this linear is more challenging to build than some of our
other mobile linears, if you are a dedicated ham or radio operator, it may provide the
power you are looking for. Remember, the use of this linear on the 11 meter citizen's band
is illegal.

#1014 60-120 WATT MOBILE LINEAR
This new design by MATCO ELECTRONICS is a project which is half-way between the
#1001 and the #1002 in terms of construction difficulty. This design utilizes two Motorola
RF power transistors in a reliable push-pull amplifier circuit. If you've built our
popular #1001 Mini Mobile Linear and are looking for a little more power in a slightly
more challenging project, this should be your next choice. A carrier operated relay
circuit is employed in this small 4x4x2 inch (excluding heat sink) mobile linear. It also
features a mode switch for either AM or SSB operation as well as convenient chassis
mounted coax connectors for easy hook-up. The 15 page construction manual leads you
step-by-step through all construction stages assuring you of a working finished project.
As with most of our project plans, all parts for the #1014 Mobile Linear are available
through our catalog sales department. Even with all new parts the cost is less than
$100.00 even less if you have some parts in the junk box. Note: The use of this device on
the 11 meter citizen's band is illegal.

rig. Measuring only 4x2x1&5/8, this unit may be mounted to the vehicle's dash or
directly to the transceiver. Standard coax connectors make hook-up easy. An LED shows at a
glance when pre-amp is on. Utilizes twin relays to protect the pre-amp circuit from the
transmitter RF.

#1018 CIRCULAR POLARIZED CB ANTENNA
This unique antenna design makes use of a special technique developed by the
broadcast industry. The antenna makes the radiated wave ROTATE as it leaves the antenna.
This means that on CB frequencies the signal will rotate about 27,000,000 times per
second. It actually "screws" itself into space. In this way, the wave is
continuously changing from vertical to horizontal polarization and every angle in between.
It's the best of both worlds. Get improved performance on skip signals, mobile signals,
other base station signals. The antenna is easily constructed with low cost materials.
Construction plans give all dimensions and construction steps for CB antennas as well as 6
and 2 meter amateur radio antennas.

Makes use of the same principle as our #1018 antenna but in a 2, 3, or 4 element
beam design for added power gain. Effective power gains of 5 to 10 times over omni
directional antennas. Improved performance on skip and in hilly areas. East to follow

#1020 INVERTED V CB ANTENNA
This highly effective CB antenna design can be incorporated into the guy wires of a
TV antenna for cost reduction. All that's needed (in addition to the guy wire) are several
"egg" insulators and a length of coax. Not only easy construction and tune up,
but you also get about a 5 dB power gain over regular antennas. Makes a perfect
"disguised" CB antenna.

#1021 MOBILE LOW PROFILE CB ANTENNA
Most mobile antennas have several disadvantages against them. Conventional antennas
tend to pick up and create electrical noises. Ignition system noise and static charge
build-up can cause overpowering noises in a mobile radio. This low profile 26" ring
antenna mounts just 3" above the car roof. It contains both vertical and horizontal
polarization characteristics. Radiates well in all directions. Very low cost and easy to
construct and tune. Will reduce normal noise of 5-5 to as low as 5-1.
