First AM/FM FCC Approval

WECSOG said:
Your opinion of qrz.com is irrelevant. Wherever it happened to be posted, Glen's comments about the 11M former ham band are spot-on.

I couldn't care less that 11 meters used to be a ham band or not. If it was a ham band today I probably never use it, the only time I am 10 meters is when there is a contest. Anyway no argument here about anything to each his own. All I meant by saying the cb should never have been put on 27 was because it bacame a mess for the FCC and it probably been easier to control if it was 465 MHz. I know that's not a popular statement here on the 11 meter forum but it is true... anyway WECSOG we just agree to disagree.

Ok here is a question I've thought of but not sure of. I'm assuming 38 LSB on a 10 meter radio is slightly different than 38 LSB on a 11 meter radio and they can't talk to each other. But what do I know, this is only 1 of my money grabbing hobbies. And believe me there are many to drain my fixed income wallet.

The 10M export radios have a multi-position bandset switch. Each position gives 40 channels that different frequencies from the other settings. Out of the box, those settings are all within the 28.000-29.699 10M ham band. Once the "mod" is done, it goes to a different set of frequencies. Typically, bandset position "D" gives the normal 40 CB channels.
Here's an example:

Which Export radio was you thinking of when you made this post which I thank you for by the way ! I was thinking of the Lincoln 2 but I didn't see a band selector switch. If I buy 1 last radio I completely want to check it out and not make any more mistakes. Because I don't have 1 of those trees that grows MONEY ! LOL I would probably just listen on 10 meter for a while to see what it had to offer and see if it prodded me to make a move, but at the moment my plate is pretty full for a wore out old dude. Like the old song said ( If I knew I was going to live to be this old I might have taken better care of myself ) LOL

USB only used on 10-meter Amateur band.
Real Amateur Radios DO NOT have channels on most bands we use VFO's with frequency readouts.
We are not locked to certain "channels" per-say in most cases.
Just FYI

Too bad I didn't live closer to you guys so I could see your systems. I really don't know anyone around here into Radio CB or HAM. Maybe I'll search around for a local ham club. Your never too old to learn.

The chart is for a Stryker, but some of the Anytone radios are the same.
The Lincoln 2+ has bandset too, but it is a pushbutton. You can also push in the frequency knob to change step size in frequency selection.
I can recommend that radio btw. I have one and like it quite a bit.

Midland 8001XT was a good radio that did AM, FM, and SSB. It was my first sideband radio and it sounded great too! 8001xt.jpg
