You got your choice of 4 watts, 4 watts, or 4 watts. You can take it down to the "old-timer down at the truck stop" but I doubt your radio would ever be the same. Its just the way the radio is setup. A power mic would make it louder but you'd over-modulate and just end up sounding garbelled. You can buy a pretty inexensive PA system and you do more than you could with a CB. Like being able to hook it up to a CD player.
