You’d definitely not use your Amateur call, as CB is not in the Amateur service.

> I can buy the Ranger SS-158EDX at radio world in Toronto for 299 plus taxes and shipping, call it 350 but it has a 2 year warranty and no programming to mess with, just straight out of the box covers 26 to 30 megs I believe. The jumper mod to extend the range is done in the shop before being shipped out. Has an advertised output of 25W on A.M/SSB and 10RMS. LOL 
> Boy, never thought I'd hear the term RMS applied to ham gear but there ya go. LOL I'm thinking though that if it can do 25W PEP output on a.M, it should do upwards of 50 on SSB, using the 2 times rule of thumb. The 10W RMS also refers to the 10W dead key or carrier, guessing this could be multiplied to about 40 or 50W on SSB. Another thing I'm not sure is, do I use my amateur callsign on the CB band or make up a handle. When I 1ST got into CB back in the 90s, I didn't have a ham license so just made up the handle. 
> I recently looked at a youtube video of a transatlantic QSO on CB and there was a couple of letters and couple of numbers exchanged as the stations IDing. Don't know if this was some sort of 1010 number, SWL number or something dating back from the time you required a license for CB.
