Omega Force S45HP-missing jumper?
- Thread starter Eddie1
- Start date
So are the other exports (such as General Lee's, Connex 3300) having their band switches removed off the front? Heck you know neither of those radios are any good on 10 M b/c they don't have SSB.
You can blame the FCC for the crackdown, if it even is a crackdown....and not just the retailer hacking the radio b/c you wouldn't "pay" them an extra $30 to remove 5 screws and move the jumper for you all for 5 minutes of work you could do yourself.:laugh: I blame those who have bought a 10 M rig and not cared to learn about it and then transmit in areas they shouldn't have. 28.025 MHz comes to mind...those who don't know, it's a non voice area of 10 M. That's what the hams are really upset about....that and someone on 10 M using CB lingo and/or not using their FCC designated call sign on 10 M.
I finally spoke to GI Joe, they say that the conversion changed and that it is shipped like that to them. I called around to other retailers and they said the same thing. Anybody have a CB shop that they have dealt with and recommend? Because it looks like I am going to be paying to have it converted after all.
I talked to Magnum today. They verified what GI Joe said and they also told me that due to federal gov regulations they could not instruct me over the phone as far as how to convert it myself BUT I did receive a tip on a website that should be able to help me out. Currently I am at work so I plan on working on this later on today.
Just got off the phone with Sam Lewis. Talked to him for about 45 minutes. Got a lot of useful info from him. Will be disseminating that over a period of time. But as to the question of the jumpers, here is something from CB Tricks that will explain a a lot:

Robb-that is the same website that I was directed to. Not sure if I will attempt to solder it myself though, I have never soldered a circuit board and don't want to screw it up.

I figured the "guvment" man was involved.
I think it's Obama.
He can balance the budget buy hiring extra FCC agents to enforce all the old CB laws and fine all of us.
Just think of all the fines they can levy against us CB outlaws and pirates.

Maybe this is just one more way he's planning on balancing the budget? Just levy fines against whats left of the CB crowd...
Since Robb chewed the fat with Sam Lewis over the phone, maybe he can shed some light on what kind of "reaming" Sam got from the feds.
