Agreed.
It wouldn't be worth the effort to do it.
A CB is a CB is a CB. What is the point in making it something it is not. Knock yourself out if you must to prove something to yourself.

If you want more frequencies, get a HF rig and be done with it. Unless you want to learn more about radios and electronics, then I can understand that. Let us know how that works out. I have a 959 -actually a Ranger TR-696FD-1(same thing)- and it is stock as far as freq's go. If you want more radio than what you have, get a AR-3500/CPU controlled freq selection and be all over the band. Or a nice 10/11 meter export radio like a OmegaForce or a Galaxy DX99V or something similar. One of the best uses for a low-output radio like the 959 is to use it with a low-drive amp. They modulate OK on AM and SSB is OK too.
