This ranger ss158edx cb radio has the following= 10 Meter AM/FM/SSB/CW Amateur Mobile Radio - 25W AM, 10W FM-CW, 25W SSB

I know that any radio that puts out more then 4 watts it is considered iliegle. I want to put this radio in my truck because I like the radio, This radio has an output power of 25 watts on am, usb, lsb. not to mention swing on top of that. Will I be ok talking on the am , usb, lsb channels without having a problem with the law? I know it is going to be discountinued soon so I would like to get one before it is too late. What do all you think about this radio? any information you have will help me!
Thanks

Technically it is not a legal radio period being non FCC type accepted "Export Radio". Now that that is out of the way>> I have two of these radios and they are a talking fool. If you are not a ham operator just stay off of ten meters and you shouldn't run into problems..

PS
these radios have an awsome audio circuit and actually work best with the stock mic that comes with them, and the echo feature in the SS158edx is sweet.
