This is true but research the radio (ham) first before impulse buying, there is a lot of old equipment out there that is a pain to get modded to 11m. The trick to buying is look at the radio (newer stuff) and if it has a "General Coverage Receiver" than it most likely can be modded by removal of a couple diodes or clipping a wire. Conversion 10m radios are the same.Mr B wrote: July 17th, 2019, 7:17 am Well if you cant find what you need in the CB market there are always Amateur radios available.
Not legal with the FCC to use on CB but that discribes a lot of "CB" radios as well.
Most "HAM" radios can be easily modified "mars mod" to transmit on CB frequency's at the 100 watt SSB power level.
AM is usually cut back to around 30 watts.
I would hazard a guess that most of the operators you hear on 38 LSB are licensed Hams.
