On the free-band it is a free for all anyway and if someone wants to operate on 27.567 MHz then HE is on frequency......his frequency. Anyone calling him should also be tuned to 27.567 or it is THEM that is off-frequency. Same as on the ham bands. I still keep hearing guys on the ham bands sticking to even kilohertz when calling someone that is 500 Hz high or low and then telling them they are off freq. If I call CQ 20m on 14.167.500 anyone returning a call should be on the same freq. or it is them that is off. Now I realize that free-band is not CB but probably the great majority of CBers are on freeband. You keep referring to hacking the TX circuit but originally ALL CB's had unlocked clarifiers from the factory and were 100% legal. There was never an issue. The only problem came AFTER the new regulations came into effect requiring clarifiers to be locked. Maybe I just see things differently because of the time I have been into SSB radio, since the mid-70's, and the fact I am a tech myself with a high regard for the quality of operation of my gear.

[QUOTE="Captain Kilowatt, post: 594632, member: 39"] On the free-band it is a free for all anyway and if someone wants to operate on 27.567 MHz then HE is on frequency......his frequency.
