CB amps - was PLEASE POST THE FOLLOWING

[RAY FRIESS]

Well excuse me for trying to get some information from someone who is "generally" regarded as knowing what he is talking about when it comes to technical issues.

I am NOT "fixated" on the Palomar 300 or on any other type of amplifier.
I used that as an example because I happen to have two of them and they seem to be, from my examination of the schematics, typical or representative of the CB type amps that have been discussed here.  I have also been a ham for 40 years and feel I know a thing or two technically, since I passed my first exam when we had to not only answer questions, but draw schematic diagrams of things like amps and power supplies.  HOWEVER, I also know what I don't know, and when I do, I usually like to ask questions so that this "old" ham of 56 years age can learn a thing or two from someone who has been around as long as I have.

I didn't realize my inquiries would raise such ire.   I'll confine my discussions on this topic with a few people here in this state who are also generally regarded as knowing what they are talking about and are willing to calmly answer my questions.
Ray

  What is this fixation on the Palomar 300?  I am not
  "looking at" the schematic.  This particular amplifier
  may just be one of the very few "CB" type amplifiers
  that are of a decent design.  Frankly, I do not know!

  However, the vast majority of "CB" type amplifiers are
  deficient in their design.  They often lack input /
  output filtering, a good number of them are not biased
  properly, the tubes are often operated beyond the
  published specifications, etc.
