Looks like it boosts power. In the 18 wheeler world they call it a Kicker.

Yes it's called a hickey Sidewinder winch they don't make them anymore a friend of mine modify the front OEM bumper for me he's a metal fabricator did a great job that winch is a beast , it weighs a hundred pounds by itself
That ranger looks nice. ABCDE is that a frequency selector?
When the skip starts blowing in again ill hit you up on channel 28 or for anyone else that has side band ill see you
on 38 LSB.
How did you run your coax and power?
What is your SWR at with your antenna there? Wilson 1000 or 5000

Here's a shot underneath the radio I ran the power through the center console and I ran the antenna underneath the carpet through to the rear tail light I like a real clean install no clutter it's my ocd I put a 1/6 inch steel plate on the back of the console that I bolted everything to that it made it more sturdy rather than just bolting it to the plastic console, the CB antenna mount I made myself I also have a cigarette lighter socket and some USB ports in the rear console for when my daughters are in the car and need to charge their phone
On what channel? Did you center it to 19?
It's the "export" version or the European model.
It can work on both AM and FM. A, B, C, D, E, F are the modes of operation for a few European standards. For example UK frequency is not the same as Germany, or Poland or Russia.
So, you use that selector depending on which country you operate in.
For US, I think it would work on D on AM.
If you have friends with similar capabilities then FM mode would be far superior... and illegal. But so is the amplifier. Meh. Who cares!
Just to clarify further what I said earlier.
Different power settings on AM vs FM, some countries don't use AM, others use both, and some have different spacing in frequency.

I think you got 15W of power on that Ranger vs 4W on the other 2. What model is it?
They are all solid.
