So they need to use a linear to be freebanders?

That rules out anyone I've ever met - I've never seen an external PA for
a 27MHz radio that was 'linear'...

Aside from that, SSB CB Radios are legal in the US, and in a lot of
Europe, and I have met very few people that bother to use a 'burner' (I
refuse to call them linears) on an SSB CB Radio.

You massively hype up the TVI potential of such radios, most are well
within the limits set for legal FM CBs by Ofcom, and for 10m rigs too,
although I did know of one that covered about 1.5 to 40MHz -
simultaneously...
