Illegal CB Linear Raises Havoc AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) Although illegal, many Citizens Band hobbyists are using amplifiers to boost their meager four watts of transmitting power to exceed that of some com- merical radio stations. cranking it up to 1,000 is a comment heard fairly often over the CB airwaves in small capital city.

And a Federal Communications Commission spokesman in Washington says the problem is not restricted to the backcountry. The device used to boost power is known as a linear amplifier. hooked between the CB radio itself and the antenna, and is used to crank up the power to much higher levels. The FCC says use of a linear amplifier can produce up to 1,000 watts of transmitting power, more than sane commercial AM radio stations. Usually, though, the output is in the 200-watt range.

In Maine, for example, the amplifier has enabled CBers to talk from Portland to Presque Isle, a distance of about 300 miles. Normal CB range is no more than 20 miles. Amplifiers can raise havoc with CBers operating nearby without them. One of the problems created by linears is That occurs when a CB radio interferes with channels next to the one on which it is broadcasting. An amplifier also could blow the speakers in a receiver that picks up an overpowered signal being broadcast nearby.

FCC says 63 per cent of the CB-caused television interference reports it has investigated involved amplifier- boosted radios. The devices are legal for use by radio amateurs, better known as hams. But, many of the amplifiers are designed so they can also be used on the Citizens Band frequencies, and often are sold in CB stores. There have been indications the FCC may prohibit manufacturers from making linear amplifiers usable on CB frequencies. In the past year, the FCC has cracked down on CBers with overpowered equipment, particularly in New Jersey, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Texas, Alabama, Ohio, New York, Georgia andlowa.

THE WORLD OF MUSIC Jessi Colter true to rebel heritage By ROBIN WELLES Copley News Service HOLLYWOOD A lot has happened to Miriam Johnson since she was a 11-year-old church pianist in Phoenix, Ariz. She sang in talent contests in high school, toured a lot of clubs with rock roll guitarist Duane Eddy, married Eddy and had a daughter, got a divorce after seven years, met and married Waylon Jennings, and became. Jessi Colter. She took the name from outlaw Jesse Colter who spread around a goodly number of bad deeds in the 1870s. Jesse was her great- great-great uncle.

The name fits. Both Jessi and Waylon are musical rebels. Their roots are in country music, but they have mixed in other sounds that outrage the purists but please those with an open ear. latest album for Capitol is called in the and she spends more than seven minutes on the LP polishing the title tune into a sparkling jewel.

As he puts it: play rhythm and blues, jazz, pop, bossa nova, blues, Ubiquitous music. And good. RICH MAN, POOR MAN Music From the Television Production (MCA) Alex North is not one to compose little ditties that flit up to the top of the Billboard list and then self-destruct. A serious composer with some fine (if not widely heard) music behind him, North breaks more into the public ken with his lively, sensitive grounding of the TV production. RICHARD CROOKS Songs of Stephen Foster (RCA) Foster, an alcoholic, died in 1864 after being found naked and injured on the floor of a Bowery flophouse.

Strange that such a tormented young man could produce such tranquil songs as Yet, he did and their quiet beauty lives on. MERLE HAGGARD My Love Affair With Trains (Capitol) Americans cling to their trains, even when most people fly these days.
