Agreed
The funny thing is, if people started using it these days, no one would probably even notice... or care...
I would like to see what a " Competition Whack Pack Tweak and Peak" would do on FM mode...
Gots me a new toy today..
Anytone Apollo II
Going to run A KL-203P behind it for a little kick (set the carrier at about 25W out of the amp and let it cruise)
I'll see how well it is set up from the Factory this weekend, hopefully.
Making another ammo can go box with 10/11 AM/FM and a...
I think the wattage limit isn't Much of a problem...
Who the hell runs stock power anyway?
I would be interested in getting FM legalized for 11 meters... like the rest of the world has...
Valid point, just like running more than legal power... no one seems to care..
At least in FM, you won't make your neighbor's toaster start talking to them... :cautious:
With the given age of the FT-101, I'm willing to bet there are more CB SSB operators using them these days then there are Amateur Radio Operators
As BlackCat mentioned, Amateur Radio rigs are MUCH better on SSB compared to any CB/Export rig
As it why is FM being outlawed in this county...
Yup... but that isn't CB/11 Meters, That is UHF and requires a license
For that matter, MURS and FRS are FM as well and free... but this is a thread in the CB section of the Forum.
And the "No FM on CB rule" makes about as much sense as the old (now removed) 155.3 Mile DX limits
The AnyTone Smart is actually configurable to 11 meters only, 10 Meters, Or 25.615-30 Mhz
It is a 4 W AM radio that runs great, However, it isn't FCC Type Excepted (big whoop!)...
11 meter manufactures are not going to go back to making "decent Equipment" again... if they can't sell it...
I think it is a great idea as well.
Look at the Anytone Smart CB.. it is $60 on Amazon.
The thing is SMALL, AM/FM, and does Legal limit. However, It does require a mod to get to to 11 Meters (it is sold as a 10 Meter radio).
Great little rig, I have 1 that I take in rental cars
The current...
I've used my IC-718 Mobile for... 15 years in a regular cab Nissan Frontier....
Easy MARS Mod
They can be found on the used market, and they still make them..
Heck yeah Brett....
I'm running the same radio in the same truck I use to talk to you in Houston with!
718 is a solid, no frills, rig the is tough as nails.
