Brian and Gary...good stuff. Now understanding the loss of power, it
would make sense to get an amp (Idon't think it would be legal) or have a

Thanks for you help

The amp IS illegal under normal use. However, most don't realize that
in an emergency situation where life is endangered, all radio laws are
null and void and any power is fine if it saves lives.
