I'm trying to decide on what kind of mobile 10 meter tranceiver to look for. I've looked online at the Realistic HTX-10 and HTX-100, as well as a lot of the Galaxy, Connex, and Ranger radios. I know all about how and why the export radios are not legal, I know all the ins and outs of what makes them illegal on 11 meters. Legal issues aside, what are some pros and cons of the export radios from a functional standpoint? I have no intention of modifying anything to use on 11 meters, I only want to stay legally on 10 meters without spending a fortune. I don't want something that is going to infuriate other hams by splattering all over the band with echos and roger beeps. I'll use my stock Realistic CB if I really want to communicate with truckers. Thanks for all input.
